The crash dumps are protected files in Windows. I haven't tried 528.34. I'll be sticking with 516.59 for a while as my crashing has disappeared for now. Still need more testing though. Another thought is that the new drivers are crashing differently which doesn't invoke the TdrDelay...

Thanks for that link. I guess that proves for sure it's a TDR issue. I had to upgrade my nVidia drivers from 496.13 to 516.59 because some of my software wouldn't run on the older driver. I played on that version without any crashes which is good. I know the TDR delay is taking effect when I...

The crash errors I get in the Windows Event logs are the same as everyone else.

So here's something interesting I tried yesterday. My motherboard is Gigabyte so I downloaded the Gigabyte Control Centre. In there is said the latest VGA driver was version 496.13 which is pretty old. I've been running the latest nVidia drivers 528.02. I figured I'd give 496.13 a try since...

My crashing is back so have been doing more testing. I used the Microsoft Process Monitor tool this morning to capture all the process, registry, network and file activity that are happening while a crash happens. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon I can see...

I checked and mine was already set to Maximum Performance. Here's a screenshot of the nVidia control panel.

Here's something interesting. I had a few crashes this morning playing RDR2 which is the first time since I posted my fix. I did something differently today than I did the previous 2 days. I used ALT-TAB to switch into Windows Edge to check some web links while paused in the game and then...

Correct. My crashes and errors were only showing up during games. The rest of Windows has been stable. It's possible that the Optimization for Windowed Games is enabled in Windows by default. If I inadvertently turned it off, it would have been many months ago. I did try changing some of...

My fix was outlined in my first post. It's a Windows 11 setting. What fixed my crashing was turning on the setting for Optimization for Windowed Games. It can be found under System/Display/Graphics/Default Graphics Settings and on my system, it was turned off by default.

I used DWORD as all the rest of the values in that registry key are DWORD's. Microsoft uses the WOW6432Node key to control settings for software that runs in 32-bit mode. This can be found in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node. This node doesn't exist in...

I found a solution to my crashing in Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2) where I would get the message "The description for Event ID 0 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found". I'm running Windows 11 Ryzen 5900X and a nVidia 3070 TI. I did try the registry setting earlier in the thread but it didn't...
