Hello everyone,
I have a Lenovo Ideapad Y560 and lately it's been randomly crashing on me.
What happens is this: The screen will go black for a few seconds and it'll tell me that the graphics driver has crashed and recovered successfully (something along those lines; I can't remember the exact wording atm.)... and I'll continue to use my laptop and it'll eventually get the blue screen of death. I feel like it has something to do with the screen hardware or something but I don't really know how to look into it.
I had Windows 8 when this problem started occuring and I thought it was due to drivers not being compatible so I put Windows 7 back on it by doing a complete reformat and re-installing the drivers, but the problem still persists. Anyone have any idea how I can fix this?
Also, if I need to provide any other information, let me know. Thanks.

. The laptop got extremely hot after a while and it just shut off (though I didn't get a BSOD like I normally do this time).
