Pretty much every time I load up certain games and play them for around 30 minutes to an hour my computer will get this error. The screen will turn black but I can still hear some audio and I will see "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered." This error only appears in GTA V, The Forest, Rust, Dead Island Riptide, Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor and Dying Light. The games will run flawlessly on high settings at 60fps and then the error will just randomly happen.
I have had this issue for just under a year now which was when I built this rig myself but it only seems to arise when I am playing games.
Here are my specs:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z87-OC
CPU: Intel Core I7 4770K 3.5GHz
GPU: Gigabyte Geforce GTX 780
PSU: XFX ProSeries 850W XXX Semi-Modular
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 4x4GB DDR3
OS: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
Things I have tried to troubleshoot the issue:
- Uninstalled/Installed the latest nVidia drivers countless times using different programs such as DDU, Driver Sweeper, RevoUninstaller and CCleaner. I even spoke directly to a few people on the nVidia live chat but to no avail.
- I have ran Memtest86+ on all of my RAM sticks both together and individually on about 4-5 passes each time and no errors were detected on them.
- I have stress-tested my GPU using Furmark and 3DMark and have seen temperatures max out at about 72C So I assume the temperature is not an issue.
- I have tried my GPU in my brother's rig and have not been able to replicate the error.
- I have flashed my motherboard BIOS from F3 to F8
- I have formatted my SSD and reinstalled the OS but I am still having the error when playing games.
- I have checked my dump files after my last error occurred using WhoCrashed and it has definitely outlined a video TDR timeout.
Before this XFX PSU I had a Corsair GS800W which I RMA'd and it turned out faulty, however the error is still present. I have RMA'd my GPU as well but it was found to be fine. I am thinking about RMAing my motherboard as well to help root out any issues with it. Any further suggestions and help will be appreciated.
