Windows 10: nvlddmkm error and artifacting/crashing

About a two weeks ago my monitor started artifacting randomly and and sometimes restarted after some time from the moment the artifacting happened never got BSOD, sometimes during GPU stress, sometimes being idle. I checked event viewer and found out errors id 14 and id 153 both named nvlddmkm. I sent my PC to diagnostics and they couldn't even get the pc to artifact or crash. After some digging I found out possible causes for these errors. I checked RAM and VRAM using various programs many times, did some things in registry editor, checked HDD and SSD using CMD and programs, did clean driv

:)

 

Screen Artifacts and Crashing

The problem: Screen artifacts occur randomly. Artifacts usually get worse before my screen freezes, blacks out, and comes back on. This repeats until it crashes. Once, I got a blue screen with the error code "Memory Management".

Details: I have two monitors and they are behaving the same. This is a desktop computer. The screen behaves correctly in safe mode.

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285

I've tried:

• Updating graphics driver (twice). Used DDU the second time.
  
• Scanning for malware (twice). I've since wiped all files.
  
• Checked wires.
  
• Dusted computer. Checked fans.
  
• Disabled startup programs (This worked temporarily but would come back the next day. Now, it doesn't work for long at all). I thought the problem was conflicting programs on startup, but I've wiped everything.
  

I'm hoping this isn't a hardware problem. I don't have another computer to test my GPU on. If there is a way to fix this, please help me!

 

Getting nvlddmkm error in event viewer, game crashing

Hi,

I've been getting nvlddmkm errors in event viewer every time I play the game Outlast 2 which was just released. I'm using Lenovo IdeaPad laptop, while not high specs, it can run the game at 60fps at mid-high settings with no problem so I highly doubt that it's not meeting minimum requirements. Gonna keep it point form for easy read.

Symptoms:

• Within 1-10min of gameplay, game would freeze for a few seconds then throw a "Outlast 2 has stopped working" Windows error
• Few seconds after clicking "close program" in the error, it would throw a "Rendering thread exception - fatal error"
• After closing that, it would finally throw a Microsoft Visual C++ runtime error "RUNTIME ERROR! R6025 -pure virtual function call"
• In event viewer, I get about 16 or so error events, "The description for Event ID 13 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" (screenshot)
• Also get a warning event in event viewer usually on top of error events, "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered"
• Only game crashes, windows not affected

Specs:

• Windows 10 64-bit with anniversary update, no creators edition
• i7-4700MQ
• 8GB RAM
• Nvidia GT750M Optimus, latest driver as of this post which is 383.22

Things already tried:

• Absolute minimum graphic settings in-game + windowed mode
• Disable hibernate/quick start in power options and restart computer
• Use DDU-safe mode to uninstall everything Nvidia related, then manually download 383.22 and reinstall it, didn't install GeForce Experience or PhysX
• Use DDU-safe mode to uninstall everything Nvidia related, then manually download 368.81 to roll back, didn't install GeForce Experience or PhysX
• Power options -> PCI Express -> maximum power settings
• Power options -> processor power management -> max processor state -> change to 99% instead of 100%
• sfc scannow in CMD (no errors)
• DISM checkhealth in CMD (no errors)
• Adding TDRDelay registry key and set it to 10
• Whitelist entire game directory in Windows Defender
• Create new windows user account and launch game from that account
• Force game to use integrated Intel HD graphics -> this would prevent any crash, but obviously be unplayable at like 5fps. So this means it's something wrong with Nvidia drivers, and not my computer?

I even chatted with service rep from Nvidia, they're out of ideas too and told me "check with Lenovo", lol.

Does anyone have any other ideas?
