So I for over a year now have been having graphics crashes. Which at face value seems very simple. But I cant seem to fix it. What happens for the most part is that my screens will go black and sometimes recover but crash the game I am playing. or it will completely freeze up the computer and I will have to force shutdown and restart. Also sometimes instead of a crash like this. it will crash the game without screen crashes and say the application has been blocked from using my graphics hardware. But both of these issues seem to just team up and decide at random whose turn it is today as i cant find any consistency with them and anything.The issue also isn't consistant as to when it crashes. Sometimes it will be on lightweight games sometimes heavy games and vice versa. making it even harder to narrow down. When I look in the event viewer I get a few things that look like they could be the issue and I have googled them to my wits end and tried multiple fixes for each on to no avail. this issue even persists after starting windows fresh. So here are the following events I get in the viewer that might be of interest.
1: Event 219, Kernel-pnp. (The driver \Driver\WudfRd failed to load for the device HID\VID_B58E&PID_9E84&MI_03&Col02\7&1344f0d8&0&0001.)
2: Event 4101, Display (Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered) -this is a lie. it usually hangs and doesn't recover. this is also the more common event
3. Event 4109, Display (Application has been blocked from accessing graphics hardware)
Here is a list of some of the things I have tried to do to fix these issues.
1: Simple reinstall,update,repair of graphics driver
2: Using display driver uninstaller to completely remove any remnants of the driver and reinstall them completely clean
3: Tweaking registry values to try and trick the time out
3a: TdrDdiDelay-20
3b: TdrDelay-20
3c: TdrLevel-0
4:Going into windows update and restarting the system fresh.
5: Wiping all my drives and reinstalling a fresh copy of windows using a usb
6: Checking all connections on the gpu and power supply and making sure the gpu is seated correctly in its slot
7: Underclocking the card as much as I can with evga precision x. Turning the offset to -90
These are just the ones I can remember off the top of my head. when it comes to registry I have tried a ton of stuff and honestly cant remember all that I may have changed in there over the course of all this.
Im at my wits end on this and I cannot think of anything else at all or where to even begin to narrow it down with all the inconsistency. I will work with anyone and provide any information that leads to fixing this. All I can ever find anywhere when I search for these issues is the typical "update/reinstall drivers" none of that has worked for me in the slightest.Well I guess I should post my specs and hope for the best. Thank you for your time for anyone reading this and taking the time. Even if you don't have any solutions.
