First the specs: System: Windows 10 Home 64bit CPU: 8700K GPU: Aorus 1080ti MOBO: Asus Strix Z370-f Cooler: Corsair H100i RGB pro xt PSU: Corsair HX750 RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 4x8 32GB 3000mhz The system is 5 years old. Recently been sitting disconnected entirely for the last 4-5 month because the previous GPU (also a 1080ti but a different one) was shorting and causing problems. I got a 'new' secondhand GPU, I saw it working myself on the system the guy I bought it from was running, nothing seemed wrong with it. The GPU is the *only* component that was changed. And I am not overclocking. The issue: Got the new GPU, plugged it in. First day, everything was working fine. The next day, I got nvlddmkm.sys BSODs. I updated the drivers, then tried uninstalling and re-installing the drivers. Still the BSOD remained. Took the GPU out entirely, connected my displays to the MOBO's I/O and everything worked. The next day everything went nuts. Remember, the card is not in the system now. I get a "CPU Over Voltage Error" on startup. I get to the BIOS. I can't believe what I'm seeing: CPU Voltage: 4.064v Memory Voltage: 4.064v +12v rail: 24.288v +5v rail: 10.120v +3.3v rail: 2.608v Motherboard Temp: -57c This doesn't seem like a GPU driver issue to me. I saw a thread on Tom's Hardware that indicated that the nvlddmkm.sys error could be related to a bad PSU. What do you think is happening? Help!

Hey everyone. My PC keeps crashing. There is no BSoD, no error code upon the crash, it just goes to a black screen and performs a complete reboot. This happens completely randomly. It is not just when gaming. It has happened while gaming, browsing email, shopping, and watching youtube. This is what "WhoCrashed" says the issue is: `On Tue 2/16/2021 9:49:07 PM your computer crashed or a problem was reported` `crash dump file: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP` `This was probably caused by the following module:` `nvlddmkm.sys` `(0xFFFFF8022C3EDB16)` `Bugcheck code: 0x50 (0xFFFFB2ED63A9C708, 0x0, 0xFFFFF8022C3EDB16, 0x2)` `Error:` `PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA` `file path: C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\nv_dispi.inf_amd64_3621da861144492b\nvlddmkm.sys` `product:` `NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 461.40` `company:` `NVIDIA Corporation` `description: NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 461.40` `Bug check description: This indicates that invalid system memory has been referenced.` `This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.` `A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: nvlddmkm.sys (NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 461.40 , NVIDIA Corporation).` `Google query:` `nvlddmkm.sys NVIDIA Corporation PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA` This is what I've tried so far: Uninstalling graphics drivers with DDU and reinstalling Running Windows memory diagostic tool (No issues found) Completely disabling XMP profile Checking all power cables including unplugging and re-plugging all cables I just reverted from 461.40 to 461.09, but part of the problem is that this happens completely randomly. It could be 10 hours between crashes or just a couple minutes. I recently moved all my components into a brand new case and reinstalled Windows 10. I was not having this issue before I performed this switch into a new case. Here are my system specs: Intel Core i7-9700k (removed overclock for troubleshooting) EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra 16GB Corsair Vengeance RGB 3200mhz Asus Prime Z370-A Corsair RM850 Power Supply 512GB XPG nvme drive (Boot drive) 2TB Seagate baracuda HDD (This is also new. Installed this with the case) Again, the system was working perfectly fine before I moved the PC to a new case and reinstalled Windows 10. My next steps were going to be seeing if rolliong back the driver resolves the issue. If it does not, I will test with 1 stick of RAM each. If the problem persists I assume it is either a dead video card or a bad power supply. Have any of you experienced this issue? Did you come up with a solution? I've read some people with similar issues after a google search, but I've done all the troubleshooting steps that they have and haven't had any luck. Any help at all would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hey guys can anyone help me? I'm getting these floods of error in event viewer any time I try and start a game, it freezes up my PC and even crashes it. 50/50 shot System specs Ryzen 7 2700x 16gb Gskill 3200mhz ram RTX 2070 Things I have tried: Underclocked GPU DDU'd GPU drivers downloaded older GPU drivers (Cant roll back windows update for some reason) checked GPU temps everything seemed fine. Any help would be welcome, I checked the Nvidia forums but one post from 12 years ago is pretty inactive. Any other mention is on the most recent driver where 2 people have the same issue. Allright, seems like it's a power draw issue, when idle everything is fine, when I push the PC boom, errors, will try and plug it into a different outlet tomorrow, maybe PSU dying? (rather PSU than GPU with these prices) Please don't tell me I need a new GPU, not in these awful times......

I purchased the Aorus RTX 4090 Gaming OC Edition from Gigabyte and installed it my system. I previously was running a 3090 with no issues. Msi z590 Pro Wifi CEC i7-11700k 80GB system memory Seasonic 1000W Gold Windows 10 Home Day 1, I installed the latest driver from Nvidia and proceeded to play around with Blender and see the performance gains. It was magical. Next, I loaded up cyberpunk and played for about 5-6 hours straight with every setting maxxed. No issues. I went to sleep after closing out and came back to the pc after waking up, only to have driver crashes while using the blender. I would use Cycles briefly before it would kill the driver. No freezes or BSOD. I tried Cyberpunk again it would crash to desktop. The CTD's would either happen at Legal screen or the rendered menu, or after 2 minutes of game play. Things I tried: JayzTwoCents DDU method. I restarted my pc into safemode, used DDU to clean the drivers completely off my pc. I disabled automatic windows driver install. I booted up and installed a manually downloaded clean install of the latest 522.25 driver from Nvidia. Rebooted again, started Cyberpunk, CTD'D. I checked event log and found that at every CTD, the same error was popping up. "nvlddmkm" I tried changing the permissions on this file to full access and running DDU again. Crash ingame. I tried running sfc scannow Cleaned all the files and replaced corrupted. Crash in game. I tried reinstalling windows with kept user files. Ran DDU again. Crash in game. Updated mobo bios. Tried different clock speeds and power limits. Tried the two separate bios options on the card. I swapped the 3090 back in and everything runs beautifully. I called Gigabyte Tech Support, and they said they don't even have technical documentation for the card yet for support. She tried helping me, but said she was stuck with googling for things at this point. I want to avoid RMA if it's solvable, but I also don't think I should be going through this much hell with a $1700 GPU straight out of its box. Feel free to chime in if you've had similar issues or know what might be going. Im at a loss.

SO. I have tested every single nook and cranny of this WRETCHED computer. Firstly, some background! Computer was bought in Hong Kong, warranty has already been done on it once in Hong Kong from improper display connectors, around the end of May I left Hong Kong as a result of the aftermath of the Hong Kong protests, it wasn't safe for people like me so I left to Ecuador. Months pass and I have thermal issues and it never got fixed because I never knew how to open this computer without killing it, the only computer I ever opened was a old Acer V Nitro that had a GTX 950M. Which was when I noticed issues, crashes always relating to ntoskrnl.exe and with errors like "Kmode Exception Not Handled" or "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" or "SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION" or "Attempted execute of noexecute memory" or "IRQL GT ZERO AT SYSTEM SERVICE" or "INTERRUPT EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED". So after I added new thermal paste, cleaned the dust on every corner you can think of including it's nether regions. I thought it was fixed. BUT NOPE IT STILL CONTINUED THIS HELL FOR ME. So I formatted the main drive 4 TIMES and reinstalled Windows 10 4 TIMES, it didn't help. I tested each RAM stick in each socket 10 TIMES (I used Memtest86) then I tested the motherboard with Lenovo Diagnostics tool 1000 times (I am not joking). I even tested the video card driver and processor around 10-20 TIMES. I have scanned the computer with 10 different anti-viruses, Windows Defender, Malwarebytes, Hitman Pro, Norton, McAfee, IOBit Malware Fighter, AVG, Avira, Bitdefender and finally Panda Security and with Anti-Virus I did a full scan 10 TIMES WITH EACH ANTI-VIRUS. I even downloaded various tools to help check what was wrong, after doing DISM and SFC of course. I tried using IOBit Smart Defrag, BleachBit, CCleaner, IOBit System Care and none of them worked. Even after clearing various junk, left over system junk and broken registry files, nothing helped. I even installed older versions for the video card like 496.13 and 511.09 and that didn't help, even after clean installing, uninstalling, clean installing again etc. So far the only thing that the people at Lenovo and Microsoft are telling me the exact same thing: sacrifice an arm and leg to send your laptop to the Lenovo Centre in USA and to trust a random stranger with the return address to send it back to you from there. So I am asking you people, the LTT community, what can I do at this rate to fix this hunk of Made In China garbage so I don't have to risk getting the computer stolen in USA because I have 0 relatives there. Edit 5/29/2022: Added Specs from the replies, additional note: this all started after Lenovo Support asked me to update my BIOS. So I flashed back 3 different bios versions but it didn't help, using latest BIOS version again. Edit 5/30/2022: Reinstalled windows a 5th time and reformatted drive, everything seems to be fine for now, my suspicion is that nvidia geforce is not compatible with my computer model and they just passed it off as is. Stay tuned. Edit 5/30/2022 (2): Computer randomly turns off and restarts, no crash dumps are being shown on BlueScreenView or manually finding crash dumps. Added Installed Programs Edit 5/30/2022 (3): Computer finally had a BlueScreen, crash dump available here: https://www.swisstransfer.com/d/2ef966a5-ca64-4a76-95f3-4418b2305d40 Edit 5/30/2022 (4): Second BlueScreen, crash dump available here: https://www.upload.ee/files/14186117/Crashes.7z.html Edit 5/30/2022 (5): Third BlueScreen, crash dump available here: https://files.im/3b8rj3n3m7ic Edit 5/30/2022 (6): Fourth BlueScreen, crash dump available here: https://www.sendspace.com/file/wbqbth Edit 5/31/2022 (7): 4 BlueScreens since last reinstall of Windows, crash dump available here: https://www61.zippyshare.com/v/QAczsuoe/file.html Specs:

Hi, first post here. Have had this problem since January when I put together this computer. This is my second self built computer over the past 10 years, so I am a novice however would like to think I have done some reasonable due diligence trying to diagnose the problem. The computer was built with new components (minus the GPU) in January. I have consistently had Black Screens and program crashes when running semi demanding/demanding games. System Specs: Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX X670E-E CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X (AM5) RAM: G.Skill Trident Z5 2x16 GB DDR5-6000, installed in A2/B2 DIMM slots Storage: Samsung 980 Pro 2 TB M.2 GPU: NVIDIA Geforce RTX 2070 PSU: Corsair RM850x 850 W See attachment with the common error that occurs, also attached event files if useful. I have spent the past 3 months reviewing various nvlddmkm error solutions over the internet, and not one has worked. A list of solutions I have tried, but not limited to: - Factory Default overclock/bios - Turning XMP off - Underclocking RAM - Power Plan (GPU max performance) - Turning off Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling - Underclocking GPU (somewhat works, but still occurs less frequently) - DDU reinstall of graphics drivers - Updated graphics drivers (NVIDIA) - Updated chipset - Ran Graphics Benchmark tests, all run fine no problem. No stutters, no crashing, all on max settings. - Ran Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool, no problems detected. Running non-intensive graphic games poses no problem. Games that have crashed: Valheim Hell Let Loose Last Epoch I have logged 2 example crashes using GPU-Z's text logger, and uploaded/formatted in Google Sheets if there is any useful information there. GPU-Z reports in Google Sheets, at the time of crashes. <- CRASH LOCATION IS BOLDED IN SHEET I am at a bit of a deadend when it comes to self-diagnosis and troubleshooting, any suggestions welcome. Thoughts that haven't been attempted yet: - Anything related to buying new components - Taking apart GPU to check thermal paste etc Kind regards, Memory Diagnostic Event Report.evtx nvlddmkm Event Report.evtx

Hello. I`ve been having this freaking problem lately and I already tried everything that I could. My Pc is as follows AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Hexa-Core 3.6GHz Water Cooler Pichau Gaming Aqua 120 Led Branco ASRock B450M Steel Legend DDR4 Socket AM4 Chipset AMD B450 Team Group T-Force Vulcan Pichau 8GB (2x8) DDR4 2666MHz Cooler Master MWE 550 80 Plus Bronze ADATA 128GB M.2 2280 Sata 6GB/s ADATA 1TB M.2 2280 Sata 6GB/s The computer does not have 4 months of use and it is still under warranty, but I don`t wish to have to send it back. I have tried several methods fo fix this situation: Reinstalled Windows, uninstalled all drivers and rebooted, installed through windows software update, and yet, this freaking problem persists and happens out of the blue with no apparent reason. On the several topics I find about this, no solution is given and the ones that were given just don`t work. I`m, stuck and I don`t know what to do anymore. Power supply is enough for the build, as per https://outervision.com/b/hZupwH

Hello fellow techies, So the reason for this post is that, recently, GeForce decided it would update its drivers on its own. Last night, it decided to install the driver 372.70. As soon as it did, it crashed. It wouldn't let me log back in because it would automatically crash upon boot up. I tried restoring to previous points and it kept doing the same thing. I tried resetting it without deleting my files and it finally let me log on to install everything. However, this time I installed the 372.54 driver and it was fine. I went to install other applications and suddenly it crashed once. It didn't do it again until I installed GPUTweak. As soon as I wanted to, either, change the profile or over/underclock the video card it would freak out and give me the same error with the nvlddmkm.sys driver. I replaced the nvlddmkm.sys driver that it kept providing as the error. I copied it over from my computer, downloaded it from online, tried reinstalling the driver (both clean and regularly) and still to no avail! I have removed the video card and reseated. I have removed one of my hard-drives being that, for some reason, it crashed after this happened and the HDD no longer functions..... the power supply is functioning correctly as checked with a multimeter and my SSD is literally brand new. It is no older than a week old. So here are the specs, minidump files, and performance reports: CPU: Intel i7-3960x, 6 cores, 12 logical processors, OC to 3.9 GHz RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws IV Series, 8 GB @ 2400MHz Motherboard: Asus P9X79 Pro Power Supply: 1000W Generic Power Supply that comes with Alienware cases VIdeo Card: Don't laugh.... my dad uses this computer so he needed computing performance and not gaming performance It's using a Asus GTX 710 and ASUS GTX 720 Hard-Drive: Intel 5 Series SSD 240GB Minidump files: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7WTM2CdnXHlejVORXNjeVpjckk Performance Report: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7WTM2CdnXHlSlBLc1JnbVNfbmc In conclusion, I don't want to have to reinstall windows so I'm turning to you guys. I need to find the cause of this nvlddmkm.sys error BSOD because, although I finally have everything running smoothly including WoW, I can't overclock the video cards like I used to do before. If you have any more questions that pertain to this particular error, let me know! I'd be more than happy to provide more information!

Hi! I bought a laptop from Japan last mid 2013 and these few months, playing League of Legends started giving me VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE (nvlddmkm.sys) errors. How to replicate the BSOD: - Start the game. (Not the client but the game itself) - After around 10~15mins the bsod triggers and the laptop beeps really loud for like a minute and then shuts down. The laptop has Win8 originally, and when the blue screens started to happen I updated the drivers and the problem is still there and breaks the games that are currently working before the driver update. I tried to upgrade to Win8.1 then Win10 and then reset to get a fresh install of Win10. After restarting and reconnecting the game, the error triggers again after a minute. The weird thing is, playing other games like Dota 2 and Borderlands 2 doesn't crash my laptop even if I play for several hours. I play LoL in max graphics and get ~200 fps and the other two from 60 to ~40 depending on the situation. The laptop has plenty of ventilation and I recently cleaned the fans and still nothing. My laptop's specs are as follows: Intel® Core™ i7-3630QM Quad Core at 2.40GHz 8 GB (4x2) RAM 128 GB SSD 1TB HDD 1920 x 1080 screen resolution Windows® 10 64-bit MouseComputer Co.,Ltd. P151EM2 motherboard Here is the link for the dump file and other information needed. https://www.dropbox.com/s/0fec7xekfsto69h/info.zip?dl=0 Any kind of help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

so i started encoding a video in handbrake, and it got to 25ish percent done when it froze and my pc bsod the dump file mentioned nvlddmkm.sys as the potential issue realtemp said during the encoding that the cpu was in the low 70 celcius temps at idle are mid 30's, although it has been really warm lately my current overclock is @ 4.7GHz my current geforce driver is the latest 347.09 I have encoded one video without issue, but that was before i installed msi afterburner( i have gpu tweak installed too) This is the first time its BSOD on me, so im thinking its handbrake causing the issue/msi afterburner??, I've uninstalled msi afterburner too No crashing in gaming or otherwise I will try using the version previous to what i was using thoughts??
