  1. GPU crashing while playing games.


    Hi! This problem has been happening to me for 1.5 years now.During the first years it would be like this:I will be playing a game, and after 30-40 minutes, gpu will crash and either VIDEO_DXGKRNL_FATAL_ERROR or VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE blue screen appears. I didnt mind at first, thought I was overloading my gpu, so I restarted my laptop. After 2 or 3 months, this started happening more regularly, BSOD appeard after 5-10 minutes, and sometimes after crash, it didnt restarted my pc automatically. Currently, when I try to open games that runs on DX11 or DX12, they just dont open and immediately crash my

  2. Black Screen, GPU Fan 100% When Playing Games

    Hey all,

    I have had an issue for the last few months, specifically when trying to play Rocket League, where between 5-20 minutes into playing, both of my monitors will go black and my GPU fan will kick to 100%. I can't remember if this coincided with any NVIDIA driver updates, but any subsequent updates have not helped. I am currently running the latest NVIDIA driver version (441.66).

    Here are some of the troubleshooting steps that I have taken for this:

    • RAM
    • Ran Memtest64 overnight, ensuring that 100% RAM utilization. No errors were returned.
    • Reseated the RAM, blowing out the slots to ensure no blockages.
    • Tested different memory slots on the board.
    • Swapped out RAM with new RAM from Microcenter, no improvements.
    • RAM was originally OC'd to 3200 MHz via XMP. I turned this off and the RAM is running at stock speeds listed above.
    • BIOS
    • Updated BIOS to the latest version
    • Performed a Clean Boot and attempted to play. Game still crashed out within the first match or so.
    • GPU
    • Updated all drivers
    • Updated drivers, including a complete DDU uninstall/reinstall.
    • Swapped power cables from the PSU
    • Moved GPU to lower PCI-E slot
    • Reseated the GPU, blowing out the slot after reseating
    • Deleted the video driver from Control Panel
    • Storage
    • Ran chkdsk with no errors
    • Ran defragmentation on the HDD and Trim on the SSDs
    • Ran sfc /scannow with no issues
    • Game Files
    • Ran validator on game files (as a note here, after one crash, I ran the validator and it corrected one file. However, I played a game immediately after and crashed. Running the validator after that crash had no files fixed)
    • Installed the game on all three storage devices

    I have attached the BSOD logs. Please assist!

    I would suggest going back to at least the October version:

    Laptop gpu crashing while playing games

    The problem started a week ago. Laptop crashed and gave BSOD with video_dxgkrnl_fatal_error and restarted itself and after restart the gpu wasn't listed in anywhere.

    Today I found out that everything functions normally when the laptop isn't plugged in,

    I can play games or browse without a problem but 5 minutes after I plug in the power it gives the same error again. My GPU is an Nvidia RTX 2060, I have tried updating BIOS, uninstalling the driver using the DDU tool, using an older driver version even a clean reset of the PC, but nothing worked so far.
