I've been experiencing the "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered." issue for about a year now, attempting to fix it with no luck at all. All of the threads I read on the issue from 2013 and none of the solutions have worked for me.
I get this issue ONLY when playing some dx9 games (Path of Exile, Smite), my GPU temps at max are 76C during load and other games run fine (bf4,cs:go, others). I never BSOD, only black screen and the event in event logs.
When the issue occurs, my GPU temps stay the same under load but the GPU load shoots up to 99% for about a second or two and then come back down (GPU temp goes back to idle shortly afterwards). I obtained these # from GPU-Z logs on both cards.
Here is my system:
Windows 7 x64
ASUS sabertooth x79 bios 4701
Seasonic 1200W
Intel i7 4930k
2x GTX 780
2x Samsung 840 256gb SSDs containing OS and applications and a few other HDDs housing data only
32gb DDR-2133 Corsair Dominator Platinum (4x8gb)
And my attempted solutions:
1) Switching GPU (I first had the issue on a titan, returned it to get 2x780s and then replaced them both to no avail)
2) Switching RAM (The system had g.skill 32gb ram instead of corsair originally, no fix)
3) Reformatting machine (This seemed to fix the issue for a day)
4) Running furmark and other GPU load tests (GPU temps go to like 95C and load goes to 100% but the system never fails)
5) Trying different drivers (I've had this issue since 320.xx and I'm not on 340.52, I've updated every chance I got)
6) Adjusting TDR timeout to 8
7) Setting nvidia settings to "prefer maximum performance"
8) Formatting w/ clean install of display drivers
There may be a few other things I've tried but I'm at my wit's end. I've ordered a new PSU (although my voltages look fine...) and a new GPU (although I've gone down this road before...).
The only thing left to replace are my MB, CPU, and HDs but I really wanted all of these components to last longer.
Anyone have any ideas? Thank you so much in advance.
