The Doctor wasn't actually "thrown out" by the Time Lords. It is clear than he left of his own accord.

The story of how the Doctor left Gallifrey has never been fully explained in the series except in short snippets of explanation from various episodes. Attempts have been made in novels to tell the story. In "Lungbarrow" by Marc Platt, it was revealed that the Doctor was the reincarnation of one of the Time Lord founders, known as "The Other", and this lay behind his decision to leave. This was part of the so called "Cartmel Master plan" to make Doctor Who more mysterious and interesting during the Sylvester McCoy years, and is not now considered canonical. For more on the "Cartmel Master Plan" see my answer to this question.

The accepted canonical explanation is now the original Terrence Dicks version which was gradually revealed between "The War Games" in 1969 and "The Five Doctors" in 1983, and is also touched on in his novel "The Eight Doctors".

When we first come across the Doctor in the early William Hartnell episodes, all we are told is that he and his grand daughter are exiles from his own planet (which we learn later is called Gallifrey). It becomes clear in the 2nd Doctor story "The War Games" that his exile was self imposed, but the Time Lords then officially exile him to Earth. This second exile is lifted in "The Three Doctors". In "The Deadly Assassin" and "The Invasion of Time" it becomes clear that the Doctor was originally a high ranking council member who was in line to become President of the High Council when he first left. Angry at the Time Lords unwillingness to help less advanced peoples, however, he stormed out of a council meeting and stole an old type 40 Tardis which was about to be decommissioned. Taking his Grand Daughter, Susan, with him, he then started travelling in Time and Space avoiding detection by the Time Lords. Later, after a period on earth where Susan was attending School, two of her teachers also started travelling with the Doctor (the point where we first join the series) and it is then that the Doctor starts to take an interest in righting wrongs and helping less advanced beings.

The real psychological reason behind him leaving Gallifrey was not actually revealed till near the end of the last series with David Tennant, however. In "The Sound of Drums" The Doctor explains that Time Lords on Gallifrey stare into the time vortex at the age of eight. Some are inspired, some run away, and some are driven mad. The Doctor ran and never stopped.

He kept wanting to meddle with other cultures, sort of like The Watcher, in the Marvel Universe. He got censured by his peers, too, y'know.

He is considered a renegade for "fixing" things the way he does.

The Time Lords are only supposed to observe and record the history of the universe. They aren't supposed to be sticking their noses in and "fixing" things. That's why the Doctor is a renegade.

He wonted to right wrongs up and down history, but the Time Lords have a code of conduct to uphold.
But The Doctor went against the Time Lords and stole a type 40 TERDIS and became a renegade in the Time Lords eyes.
The code of conduct is to never interfere in history, on matter what is happening in that time zone up or down history, on matter if it's on earth or in outer space on another planet the Time Lords never ever interfere in other races affairs, on matter what is going on.
But the Doctor is compelled to do something to right those wrongs on matter what the consequence's are .
