Driver experienced unexpected malfunction. Vehicle stopped suddenly. Possible technical issue detected.
This post is going to be pretty long, because I've been fighting this issue for quite long time. Since last Christmas my parents PC experiences random GPU driver crashes while playing games but not only then, sometimes it happens just while browsing the internet or watching YT. The whole screen or part of it goes black for a sec or more. When it happens while playing games they usually just shut down with the "driver issue" prompt. When it happens while not playing games the only way to detect it is windows event log. The source of the error is always nvlddmkm. Ususally, but not everytime, followed by this information, : The description for Event ID 0 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer. If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event. The following information was included with the event: \Device\Video3 Error occurred on GPUID: 1f00 It is always followed by the event "the driver nvlddmkm stopped responding but recovered successfully". What's more troublesome: -there have not been a single BSOD caused by this issue, usually the screen goes black but its back after some time -sometimes it won't occure for 40-60min of playing any game, it seems completely random My first guess was failing GPU, I took it to technicians to check it out but after a week of testing they said it is completely fine GPU. I changed GPU to another one but the problem still occurs. Let me now list all things I've already done, from more to less obvious: - fresh windows install - fresh windows install on differen ssd/hdd - driver upgrade/downgrade using DDU - turing off XMP, lowering ram speed - using 1x4gb ram instead of 2x4gb - memtest86 RAM - 0 errors after all 4 full tests for both DIMMs - adding TdrDelay/TdrDdiDelay/TdrLimitTime on various values (60,120,300) in regedit - GPU swap - checking thermals, nothing is overheating in idle or in use - MOBO bios update (now the MOBO is on the last non-beta bios) - cpu swap - lowering GPU clocks Additionally, sometimes when I want to shut down the PC it restarts instead of shutting down. Sometimes it starts without signal to display and has to be restarted (I hear the fans, but there is no BEEP). Specs(original and what I swapped to): -Windows 10 Pro 22h2 19045.2788 -MSI a320m pro-vh plus - bios 7B07v3E -Ryzen 3 1200 AE swapped to Ryzen 5 1600AF - no OC -2x4GB Kingston HyperX 2666mhz -MSI GTX 1050 low-profile swapped to Gainward GTX 1660 Super -ADATA SX900 128GB SSD -Seagate ST500DM002-1BD142 -SilentiumPC Deus G1 500W - 8 years old! My final thoughts: I think whats left to be at fault are PSU and/or MOBO since the issue still occurs on different GPU and CPU. I have used all of listed parts in my own PC and I have not experienced any issues with them. I've alredy ordered a new PSU unit, going to install it in 2 days and update the thread. Even if it's not failing PSU I would be calmer to know that my paretns don't use this old one Do you have any ideas what else can I do/check?
You'd probably want to check the power supply unit. I've had a similar problem before—there it was, the power supply. Sometimes you'd also notice the hardware disconnecting and reconnecting noises through Windows. After replacing the PSU, everything worked properly.
A new PSU has been added, but the problem persists. It seems it's time to switch to a different MOBO. If this doesn't resolve it, I'll have to give up.
Hey, do you have any updates? I'm facing the same problem with my new ASUS B650E PC. After swapping out my PSU and GPU, it worked fine for four years on an Intel system. Now I get a black screen during games, the GPU fan is at 100%, but the sound still plays.
just got an issue on AM5 also with my gigabyte b650m, im so confused at this point. im trying the TdrDelay method in registry hoping it works. did you figure it out?
Unfortunately the TDR fix didn't resolve the issue. I'm still experiencing crashes every 2 to 4 hours of playtime, and there are also unpredictable delays on my desktop caused by CPU throttling for a few seconds up to 545 MHz before it returns to normal speeds (possibly related to a PBO bug). I don't know if these are connected, but I haven't encountered these problems with Intel in the last decade. Attached: random frequency drop. Edit: likely ASUS is involved... https://community.amd.com/t5/processors/...rue#M54016
Only the CPU, motherboard, and RAM changed in my configuration. That makes me more likely to look into those areas. I didn’t face any issues with my old CPU, motherboard, and RAM (Intel).
