Hi Guys,
I've been having a problem with my PC these past few weeks in regards to the "nvlddmkm driver has stopped responding and recovered error" where I'll be playing a game, and sometimes I can play it fine for hours on end with no issues, but sometimes at any point randomly they game will usually freeze, sometimes I have to force close it from task manager, sometimes it closes completely and very rarely (and most frustratingly) it will freeze my PC completely to the point where I have to hold the power to turn the PC off and back on.
I have done some searching and trawled through a few forums in order to try and find some fixes and tried a few to no avail, and I was wondering if anybody else has had this issue and managed to overcome it!
Fixes tried:
Switching PC to 'High Performance' power mode and setting PCI Express Link State Power Management to OFF
Changed Power Settings in the NVIDIA Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings > Management and set to Prefer Maximum Performance
In internet explorer go to Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Check Use Software rendering instead of GPU (Very big longshot, didn't think it would work and I was right but I'm desperate)
Completely removed all installed NVIDIA drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller, rebooted, and downloaded most recent driver from NVIDIA Website.
Downloaded a program called "TDR Manipulator" which gave me the option to completely turn of the TDR registry key, didn't work and kept happening
Other possible solutions I have not tried (or have failed at):
Changing the monitor refresh rate from 60 Hertz to 50 Hertz, this is impossible apparently according to the windows settings for my type of monitor (BenQ GL2460)
Download MSI Afterburner and underclock GPU (My card is Gigabyte and not MSI, bit dubious about trying to use this software plus broken link on forum)
Changing the time before it resets in the registry all together. (I don't like messing with regedit if I'm not 100% certain it will work or won't break everything.)
My Specs:
Intel i7 4790k @ 4.00GHz
Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti
ASUS Sabertooth Z97 Mark 2
Samsung SSD 840 EVO 120GB
WDC WD30EZRX-00DC0B0 (Western Digital Green WD30EZRX 3TB)
Kingston HyperX 16GB (2x8GB)
BenQ GL2460 Monitor
Please help! This issue is pretty damn annoying!
