Clevo P151EM1 Graphics Drivers crashing while gaming

Hi I've been having this problem for a long time now, probably since around November 2015. My Graphics driver has been crashing constantly while in games like Elder Scrolls Online, Rocket League, Ghost in the Shell, and (very rarely) Planetside 2.

The screen will freeze, audio will continue to play, but the game will crash entirely. In some instances I can make it to the desktop where it will say the graphics driver crashed and recovered, but the error will occur over and over again one after the other. Other times I can't even get into the desktop. After the crash, my speakers will beep extremely loudly at intervals, both my CPU and GPU fans ramp up to 100% and blow air everywhere, and then the computer will force itself to shut down (if I don't press and hold the power button to force it to shut down myself).

I don't know the cause of this, but I've tried many different attempts to fixing this. I've tried cleaning out dust from my fans and internal case, TDR registry edits, rolling back graphics drivers, updating graphics drivers, clean uninstall the reinstalling graphics drivers, removing then reseating ram, and as a final nuke option refreshing Windows OS. Nothing's worked so far. Of special note is using DDU to uninstall then reinstalling drivers, which gives me roughly a day's worth of gaming until it crashes midday the next day.

My specs are as follows:
OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
CPU: Intel i7-3610M 2.3GHz (3.1GHz turbo) w/ Intel HD 4000
GPU: Nvidia GTX 670M, GeForce Driver 361.91
RAM: 16GB 1600MHz
HDD: 500GB Seagate SSHD

Let me know if more specs are necessary.

I've had this laptop since August of 2012, and I really can't afford a replacement right now. I've seen suggestions of getting a new graphics card, but the P151EM1 wasn't really made for upgrading and a replacement card runs somewhere in the price range of $400-$600, which I can't afford right now. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. I've been rather calm about this whole thing lasting months but it's been chipping away at my sanity.

On a side note, there were suggestions from the NVIDIA forums talking about faulty PSUs, but I've got an AC charger here and I'm not sure where I might get another one. I'm also fairly certain it isn't my AC charger either.

 

hi
have you tried a safe mode un-install of your nvidia drivers.

also if youve got nvidia experience installed delete that piece of crap as its more harm than good.

walkthrough in sig below. EDIT: scrap that as it looks like page has been moved or deleted ARGHH!

at work now but will try and find it later.

 

Yes, clean uninstalling and reinstalling the nvidia drivers was one of the first things I tried, among all the other attempts mentioned above.

Never used Nvidia Geforce Experience, but I don't see how it affects anything considering that if I even had it installed the shadowplay service that slows down the GPU doesn't start cause the 670m doesn't support it.

 

oh well, hope someone else can help.

 

It really does sound like the GPU is on its last leg. The NVidia driver crashes, the fans revving, the beeping (what sounds like a beep code)...

 

There are some cheaper card replacements out there like the 670MX or 675M.

 

I have had same problem with P370EM 680M SLI overclocked. If I go higher with OC then it happens more and more frequently. No beeping, only fans ramp up.

 

You will get errors like that when overclocking yes, it's when a card is doing it at stock that it's likely to be on its way out.
