"Nvidia windows kernel mode driver stopped responding and has successfully recovered"

This is the exact crash I get in MWO and Hawken. Game crashes hard (exits) to the desktop. It's been this way for a while. It may just be the overclock I'm running.

I have no idea what version of drivers I was running a year ago with my 750 Ti but those "crashes" used to be just a 1-2 second blank screen and everything reset to stock clocks, but the game kept running and everything. Was SO MUCH nicer than loosing everything mid-game

At some point nvidia and the custom board vendors are going to have to cop to the aggressive power adjustments causing the TDR's. The drivers aren't technically responsible for the problem but they can uncover the problem by changing the GPU workload through optimization.

What does the bolded mean?

It's windows acronym, Timeout Detection and Recovery. When your GPU/driver craps out it enters a non responsive state, Windows (Vista forward) will attempt to recover from said timed out state which is why after your machine comes back from a display driver crash it gives you that message about it having been recovered.
