I bought a XFX HD 7850 2GB less than 2 weeks ago and has experienced numerous BSOD all with the same error message "Attempt to reset display driver and recover from time out failed" I've tried various versions of AMD's catalyst driver but it has not resolved my issue. I have not attempted to overclock the GPU, all factory default settings.

The BSOD's are not easily reproducible. So far, it's happened only when I play Skyrim, after maybe 40+ minutes of gaming (but not always, as I've gone longer than that without experiencing the BSOD). What happens is that I would see artifacting on the screen, long, thin, triangles pointing to the center of the screen, when the artifacting occurs there is a GPU temperature spike (it goes to around 66 degrees celcius), and then the BSOD.

However, I don't think it's a temperature issue. Using MSI Afterburner to keep track of the GPU temp, it normally does not go above 60 - 62 degrees celcius during Skyrim (idles at 27 - 30 degrees celcius). I can't reproduce the BSOD using GPU stress testing utilities like 'Furmark' and MSI Kombuster (highest temperature seen is 66 degress celcius).

What I've done to attempt to address the issue

1) installed new GPU, uninstalled old nvidia driver, cleaned orphan nividia driver files in safe mode using Driver Sweeper, installed catalyst driver version 13.1. Experienced first BSOD in Skyrim.

2) uninstalled catalyst 13.1, cleaned orphan files in safe mode using Driver Sweeper, installed catalyst driver 12.11 beta.

3) uninstalled 12.11 beta, cleaned orphan files in safe mod using Driver Sweeper, installed catalyst driver 13.2 beta 3.

4) uninstalled 13.2 beta 3, used the new AMD driver cleaner utility in safe mode. Installed catalyst driver 13.2 beta 5.

I experienced BSOD in Skyrim with all these driver versions based on the pattern described above, but never during stress testing using MSI Kombuster of Furmark. I've tried reseating the GPU.

Just for completion sake, I'll list my other components
Mobo: EVGA nvidia nForce i750 SLI FTW
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.00 GHz
PSU: OCZ 600W
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64bit SP 1

I am having difficulties uploading the memory dump file as an attachment ("The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading"). Any ideas why? I'll copy/paste what I was able to debug from WinDG. Please let me know if I am doing something wrong.
