so lately i have been getting this error, 

The description for Event ID 14 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.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event:

which is followed by Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered.

I just had this issue and finally got it fixed. There seems to be alot of different scenarios and fixes for it, I'll just share my experience and what I remember reading.

 

My Issue:

 - system would freeze for about a minute > screen would go black for a few seconds then come back on

 - usually occurred when connecting to internet and browsing, not during gaming but could prevent some games from opening

 - I found it was an issue with the graphics card going in and out of idle states

 

My Fix:

 - Nvidia Control Panel > Global Settings > Set "Power Management Mode" to "Prefer Maximum Performance"

 

Notes:

 - others have said turning off "Hardware Acceleration" in Windows Settings works too though that option wasnt available to me.

 - some people found that some Asus programs were the cause as well, Aura, Armoury Crate etc

 

Hope this helps. Good luck
