Spoiler
My computer has been suffering from TDR the last two days (my computer freezes constantly, resulting in BSOD). I have so far tried to 1) reinstall graphics drivers, 2) reinstall previous graphics drivers cleanly, 3) installing the "fix it" here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2665946/en-us, 4) checked my computer temperatures in BIOS, and they were fine. However, nothing has helped and I can't start my computer normally; I'm writing this topic from safe mode with networking. I've read quite a few threads about this problem, and most people just say: buy a new computer, it's not worth wasting time on, there's nothing you can do.
My computer is quite old (like 5-6 years?). I have a GTX 260. So I think, perhaps it's my computer causing this TDR problem. But, of course, if someone knows something else I can try to solve this TDR problem, please tell me so I don't have to buy a new computer. In addition, my speakers are not very good. My display is very good, but it flickers constantly for one hour at startup (which is annoying).

So, do anyone got any good advice on a new computer, display, speaker? Here's some requirements and things I know want though:
- Total price range for everything shouldn't be higher than 3300 dollars.
- I play Skyrim and no other games, so the computer should definitely be able to handle it very well.
- I want a display with great colors and that has great response time as well, so it's good for playing Skyrim and working in Photoshop. I prefer LCD.
- Speaker can be either 2x or 5x. I have much space in my room, but not any great places (like corners) to put subwoofers, etc... so it's a bit troublesome. My current small subwoofer is on top of my desktop. The speakers are meant for my computer and not a TV or something.
- The speaker sound has to be great with crisp, clear sounds. I listen to a lot of classical music, so that's more important than a strong bass. I also have tinnitus, so I really can't stand too much bass either (so a speaker with configurable bass is good). I bought Logitech Z-906 a few months ago, but returned it because, surprisingly it sounded WORSE than my current very old logitech 2x speaker (Z-906 didn't sound crisp at all, it sounded muffled).
- I value online reviews a lot, but I don't take them for granted. For instance, my previous Z-906 speaker had great reviews but sounded pretty bad/mediocre to me.
- Everything should be able to be bought in stores or online stores in Sweden, because I live there and I also prefer my country's consumer law protection which I'm familiar with. Whether the product is available in Sweden is of course something I can check myself and nothing you'd have to check.
To anyone who helps me, THANKS IN ADVANCE
