video_tdr_failure (nvlddmkm.sys)

I can be playing a game, or just watching youtube, etc. and my computer will BSOD, giving me the error code video_tdr_failure (nvlddmkm.sys) Anyone know whats wrong, and how to fix it?

 

Sounds like a GPU issues. Have you tried taking your GPU out and only using your on board graphics to test if your GPU is faulty? If not I would test that out first assuming you at least have on board graphics.

Make sure your GPU is up to date, if so it could be that and you might need to reroll back to the previous driver. I also looked it up for you through google and have seen numerous people saying logitech drivers were interfering with nvidia drivers.

Yea I saw that thread, I just made a new one on the GeForce forums, there was no clear answer that I could find. I cant take my GPU out, I've got a laptop. Everything is update as well.

 

This has been happening for some time, but I've updated all of my drivers, yes.

 

It honestly sounds like a driver issue though more then anything.

 

Thats why I made a post on GeForce forums about it. Gunna see if one of their mods knows how to fix it, because everything I've read about it has been people complaining about it but no viable solutions.

 

Try and find a beta driver and test with that.

 

And try and download a temprature program so you can see if the computer might be overheating, or what heat the GPU is on. or you can just completly uninstall Graphics driver and redownload.

 

Or actually, try this http://en.kioskea.net/faq/6210-nvidia-nvlddmkm-sys-error-message. If you need anyhelp let me know. I can use teamviewer if you want too.

 

Sounds dumb, but wheres the "root of C: C:\nvlddmkm.sy_"

 

should be in system32 folder windows system 32

 

I am doing what the link you gave is telling me to do, but when I input the command into the cmd prompt it is saying 'Cannot open input file: nvlddmkm.sy_."

 

I dont have a copy of windows. This laptop came with it installed already.

 

There isn't a sticker anywhere on the desktop itself with the cd key? Most desktops that come with it preinstalled have a sticker on the side or back where all the ports are that has the CD key on it.

 

No.

 

oh that sucks!

 

I'll try and contact MSi to see if they will hopefully give me one.

 

Yeah, there is actually only one other thing I can tell you to try if you haven't and that is too download Driver Cleaner Pro. Uninstall your graphic drivers completely, restart your computer in safe mode. Run Driver Cleaner Pro and select Nvidia drivers, it will wipe all nivida content from your pc. Restart computer again in safe mode, install your nvidia graphics drivers.

try that ^ if you haven't. I had to do that for a blue screen error I was getting and it worked out. Doesn't hurt to try I guess.
