My troubles started last night around 9:30 pm pst. My laptop got stuck, and a BSOD appeared, but I didn't see what was wrong at first because I looked away while checking the time. Since then my laptop won't correctly read my Nvidia graphics card, so any game I start crashes or freezes, leading to another BSOD at some point. The little errors I saw after the first one were 'VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE' and something about power. I have an MSI GE 75 Raider that's been around for three years without any real issues coming up. Any help on this would be really appreciated.

Did you read this article about bugs? Bug Check 0x116 says VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE - Windows drivers The bug check has a number of 0x00000116. This means the computer tried to reset the display driver and fix a delay, but it failed. go.microsoft.com

No, but I'll try reading it right away while work is done here because thanks to that link, maybe things will be easier.
