System specs include i7 9700k, RTX 2070 Super, H100i Pro AIO cooler, Rog Strix Z390-F Gaming Motherboard, 16GB RAM, M2 1TB drive, 850W PSU, and Windows 10 Home x64. Game crashes to desktop without error coinciding with Easy-Anti-Cheat and Battleye unloading. Event Viewer logs show File System Filter 'BEDaisy' unloading successfully (Event ID 1) and Display driver nvlddmkm recovered (Event ID 4101). The issue persists despite exclusions for anti-cheat folders and games. A related thread can be found at the provided link.
The presented text outlines a troubleshooting scenario involving an “nvlddmkm” error resulting in random system shutdowns and a black screen. The issue stems from a newly built PC, specifically focusing on potential causes like incorrect Nvidia drivers or faulty RAM, referencing external resources for further diagnostic steps and solutions.
This user is experiencing persistent issues with their graphics driver, specifically the "nvlddmkm stopped responding" error. They have attempted several troubleshooting steps including reinstalling the driver, restarting the computer, running Windows Update, and checking for malware (including uninstalling Malwarebytes). The problem persists despite these efforts, leading to frustration as they feel they’ve exhausted potential solutions. The user has documented a series of log messages, including one related to successful driver loading and another specific error message, and is seeking further assistance due to the ongoing nature of the issue.
Try
Card in the second slot
Disable user account control
Disable fullscreen optimisations in the game's exe compatibility tab
When reinstalling Windows, did you try your games with the bare essential drivers, ie Chipset, audio, Geforce etc, no peripheral drivers, utilities or monitoring software?
Hi. When reinstalling Windows for the 3rd time, I did only install the essentials, including the above listed drivers from my mobo website (as well as LAN). I also didn't install any peripheral drivers, as I thought that razer synapse was meddling with my computer. Are you suggesting to install my GPU into the second pcie because of the "nvlddmkm stopped responding" error? I can give this a try, but this error seems to be an outlier, and I'm not sure if this is the issue. I will also try disabling UAC and fullscreen optimisations tomorrow. By the way, would I have to disable fullscreen optimisations in every single game that uses an anticheat? I'm not complaining because I'm grateful for the response, but that seems like a frustrating workaround rather than a fix. I will still try it though.
More than likely fullscreen optimisation wont help but it's something i do for all my games anyway. Just something to try i guess.
Yeah try the gpu in the second slot. The motherboard could be the reason you're having so much trouble and maybe, (i stress maybe), anti cheat software is picking up on it that something has changed and throws it's own error.
UAC shouldn't be an issue either but it asks for permissions every time a program runs. Could be interfering somehow, unlikely but might.
Regarding Win10 build kerberos asked about, you are on the latest build aren't you?
This response provides a lengthy, somewhat rambling explanation of how to manage device driver updates in Windows, emphasizing caution against automatic updates and suggesting manual control through system settings. It includes redundant information, repetitive phrasing (“another thing to try”), and ultimately, unnecessarily complex instructions that could easily confuse a user. The tone is overly cautious and prescriptive, bordering on alarmist regarding automatic updates.
Here’s the rewritten text, focusing solely on the core instruction:
To manage device driver updates in Windows, navigate to System > Advanced system settings > Hardware tab > Device Installation Settings. Within this section, disable the option for "Automatically install drivers." This provides manual control over driver installations and prevents unwanted automatic updates.
