What is Kernel Mode Driver?

Hey guys so when I start up my pc, it starts to bug out on the screen then goes black. A few seconds later it came back up and says that the above driver crashed and recovered. People say that I an just delete it but it's still going.

@demonicrack: What I did was return it and exchanged it for non-defective one.

So what should I do. It seems like it can be fixed on its own. I found the driver in the automatic windows updates too.

[quote=demonicrack]No I reinstalled my nvidia drivers and I'm using a gtx 770. I know think it's a windows driver that pairs with nvidia. I'm not sure who's at fault though. I just know that the nvidia drivers should be working properly.[/quote]

Kernel mode is part of the operating system I'm pretty sure.
