What started on the 14th of this month and has occurred less then a hand full of times my computer froze and rebooted itself.
Checking the event Viewer afterwards description read:
nvlddmkm
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.
The following information was included with the event:
\Device\Video3
UCodeReset TDR occurred on GPUID:100
Other events in viewer showed:
\Device\00000094
UCodeReset TDR occurred on GPUID:100
\Device\Video3
Error occurred on GPUID: 100
Dump File showed culprit as nvlddmkm.sys which from reading about is a common NVIDIA TDR failure error.
Only time it happened is when i was just doing a lot of clicking with my trackball or typing with keyboard and had a few external drive i was working with.
Tried so far was using DDU Uninstaller to uninstall NVIDIA drivers and reinstalled them even recently on 11/16/22 had new driver come out and did the same for it with DDU.
I played PC games with no issues for hours i ran Furmark GPU Stress for awhile with no issues, AIDA64 stress tests and Unigine Heaven 4.0 card never went over 57c and cooled pretty quickly afterwards.
Followed most of what is said online about nvlddmkm.sys TDR. Ran SFC no integrity violations found.
Definitely using correct drivers for Graphics card all other drivers are up to date and so is Windows 11.
Did a Memory Diagnostics test which came back good no errors found, DiaxDiag is fine too.
SSD drive not corrupt.
Don't have a lot of items running or starting up in Windows 11.
Graphics card is not overclocked.I removed card and reinstalled it in case too.
One thing i read was about nvlddkmk.sys was to re-create the nvlddmkm.sys file, restoring the nvlddmkm may aid in fixing the video_tdr_failure error.
This file shows in two folders and not where most read online says it will be.
One is here and file created 11/15/22
"C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\nv_dispig.inf_amd64_009debfbd2e1619b\nvlddmkm.sys"
other is on 9/21/21 here
"C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\nv_dispi.inf_amd64_d5ebba24696ee1d8\nvlddmkm.sys"
Both of these places have nvlddkmk.sys file with different dates 11/15/22 and 9/21/21 feel may be two different drivers on PC one new one old.
Telling you to rename nvlddkmk.sys to sys.old in C:/Windows/system32/drivers which it ain't there then go to NVIDIA folder in c:/NVIDIA which it ain't there and have it copied to C:/Windows/System32/drivers.
I know it probably meant other folder C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository.
Do not think re-create the file will help since one is dated 11/15/22.
Tried just about everything i can think of and read about online for this error. So far graphics card seems fine under stress and even the PSU to mention another probable cause it could be (PSU which can handle RX-3060Ti).
I recently added a new Sound Card around time of first TDR not sure if there is maybe driver conflict, sound card works fine.
Also new 4K monitor using Display Port.
To me i feel this is either some driver conflict, software conflict or Windows 11 issue from updates.
Any help is appreciated. So far has not been worse with errors, not consistent ....yet.
Will post a DumpFile analysis as soon as it occurs again. Have few programs WinDbg Preview, BluScreen View and WhoCrashed.
