If you google "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered." you will see it's actually a somewhat common problem. I've had that happen twice, first time I gave up on trying to find a driver that would work and just reformatted. Second time, doing a clean and installing the latest current driver worked. In both cases it started occuring out of the blue, computer had been running fine for ages, no driver changes.
There's an ATI equivilent as well.

Yah this happens to me as well lots of times. Certain games work perfectly, then others I play it will crash in a few seconds with that error. even media players would do it to.
The only way I fixed it was uninstalling in safe mode, reinstalling in safe mode, and rebooting between each. I still have problems with SLI randomly deciding to not work anymore to and bluescreens on me. Its the oddest thing, works fine for months, the one day it will crash no matter what game I play. Have to disable it, then a few days later re-enable it, and works fine again.

check process thread to see if u have a malware installed.
Use gpu-z on a idle screen to see if you have GPU load.
You might have a bitcoin malware from what you telling me on how it only crashes on your account profile.
Look in the process and see if u have something "funny" running and then goggle it to see if its a malware.
This is a example of what im talking about.

^ that malware started out with all the issues your describing.
i wouldn't be suprised if they also changed the file name to something new.

I have the same thing with AMD drivers (and before that with Nvidia ones on the same machine). For me it correlates with high ambient temps, and a long up times for the machine generally. I'm fairly sure my case is a hardware issue, connected to heat. Because it remained consistent over an Nvidia->AMD switch (single GPU, and we're only talking 6850 here all stock clocked) I am fairly sure its not really an inherent GPU issue. I suspect my MB is having problems and BUS synchronization or something is being lost.
Anyway, check your temps (not just GPU temps - general temps inside the case)

I find this interesting though, as some of you seem to have this issue all the time, but I am thinking through the last 5 Nvidia cards I have had, and I have not seen this issue on one of my machines. And that isn't counting the Nvidia cards I have installed in other computers, from which I have also never heard a complaint (pretty sure I would get a call about that error). I do remember a customer at my past job that came in with a computer that was doing this. In that case it was a bunch of malware that had the CPU running at 100%, 100% of the time.

Ive had the same issue, its most likely your RAM. Run some tests on it/up the voltage to it a bit.
A problem on the users profile is causing the display DRIVER to stop responding.
