Graphics driver causing BSOD

Hi guys, I've been having this sporadic problem where I get a BSOD. When I looked it up, it seemed to be related to nvidia display drivers, but others seemed to get it when the GPU was placed under some stress, whereas this happens randomly for me. The screen I get is the same as the one on this page,

Except the codes were, in order of appearance on the screen
STOP: 0x0000003B
(0x00000000c0000094 0xFFFFF8800FA06296 0xFFFFF88002A52180 0x00000000000000000)

nvlddmkm.sys FFFFF8800FA06296
FFFFF8800F406000

I don't know if those are useful in anyway. I don't know where to get the memory dump from, or if that would be any use.

None of the fixes I've found work, or apply to my particular error. Have you guys any thoughts? My warranty is still good for another month, is this something I should send to pcspecialist to get fixed?
The error itself has not been debilitating so far, it just requires a restart.

It should be either a driver issue or a faulty graphics card. Try reinstalling the graphics driver (I use Driver Sweeper as well). Try a older or newer version. If that doesn't work it's probably a card issue.

I'm not expert though, but again, if it doesn't work when you reinstall the driver, try reinstalling windows. Then you can be sure it's a card issue.
