Windows 10: Rebooting after waking from sleep. Possibly GPU related

Hi there

The experts on this forum have been very helpful in the past in solving obscure Windows problems so I thought I'd ask another one:

I used to sleep my Win10 machine every night, but a while ago it stopped being able to wake from sleep and would instead wake up to a blank screen, sit for a minute or two and then reboot. I've tried various methods to investigate and fix it, but a solution has evaded me so far. Logs seem to suggest it is related to the GPU so I have uninstalled, deleted drivers, tried different versions of drivers, etc but nothing works.

In case anyone suggests it, changing GPU is currently not an option at the moment. So if this is the source of the problem and no other work around exists, I will have to live with it.

I have attached the logs from the log collector tool as well as the minidump file that seems most relevant to it (not sure if this is a duplicate or not)

Any advice would be appreciated.JIMBOB-(2020-01-09_15-25-03).zipnvidia resume sleep bugcheck.txt

Many thanks in advance!

Definitely GPU related. When did this start happening? I see you have 441.87 Nvidia driver which is the latest available. Do you always update when a new version is released? I suggest going back a few levels to early November or late October version and see if that makes a difference.





Remove and install latest Nvidia drivers:

Get the latest driver for your Nvidia card here: NVIDIA Driver Downloads
Completely uninstall the current Nvidia display drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) from WagnardMobile here: Official Download Here. Do this in Safe Mode.

Then do a custom install of only the Nvidia Graphics and PhysX driver.

See if that gets rid of the problem.

Alternative is to power off the system at night or use a screen saver and power settings instead of sleep.

I've tried it before with short sleeps and yeah it still does it.

But I installed Nvidia's latest driver yesterday and hadn't tried sleeping it again since then until you suggested checking short sleeps.

And now it resumes from sleep fine....

I guess Nvidia fixed it....

Sorry to waste your time, folks!
