Windows 10: VIDEO_TDR_ERROR and corrupted BSD but HDTune+Crystal come up 100% fine

great
when it installs it will need to reboot many times
you can sleep now and in the morning you will need to install drivers from the computer manufacturer's web site

When you have the operating system installed and the drivers updated perform the following steps

1) use Macrium to make a backup image and place the image on another drive: Macrium Software | Your image is everything
2) each month update the macrium image so any time there is a failure you can sleep well knowing you have a backup plan
3) test the drive with SMART and with Sea tools SMART, short , and long generic
4) run chkdsk /x /f /r on the drive (this can take many hours so plan to run it overnight)
5) create a restore point

If the drive is fine (no problems with SMART, and generic tests then start installing applications and files

quick qquestion, at work now so i cant do it but my pc was custom built, now it is a fully legal windowds operating system as i said, but were do i go to get said updated drivers?

nervous about restarting the reboot loop.

 

Open device manager and look for yellow icons.
Update all drivers directly from the component manufacturer's website.
Do not use any websites that automatically find and install drivers.

 

ok i never even got to install mac, and my comp rebooted. back in the loop.

this confirm its ny vid card? what else is there
.1. Memory was tested as A-ok
2. harddrives only crime was running a tad slow
3. Drivers cant be it, had a fresh untouched windows
4. that error on the dmlogs
5. Sadly as I'm now in safe mode, I cant run Seagate etc, unless theres a work aroud.

 

sorry to double post zbook

Just saying I reinstalled again....and same results..comp lasts until I load a few websites than reboot loop
so I'm getting confident its my Video card, but a friendly confirmation would do me wonders before I purchase the new card.

 

If you have a second video card to swap and check that would enable you to confirm a malfunctioning GPU.
If you were able to use a different operating system such as Ubuntu that would enable you to see if the GPU is faulty or not.
Got graphics card problems? Here are 6+ signs it might be dying - PCMech
The RAM/DIMM was ruled out by 7 passes (usually we require 8)
The HD was ruled out by your reported test results (usually we require a visual of the data, error scan, and benchmark)
The operating system was ruled out by a clean install.
The debugging displaying VIDEO_TDR_ERROR and with the above results I think it is malfunctioning GPU.
To confirm it would require trial and error swapping one GPU with another.
Before you spend your money though I would like to have @axe0 review your thread and see if he has any additional troubleshooting steps.

 

If possible, please run HDTune again and run the benchmark. Please provide an image (photo) of the end result.
Make sure that MemTest86+ is run with at least 8 completed passes, less is not worth the effort.
@zbook,

After deleting all partitions there is nothing to format, because there is no partition.
Formatting means that a partition is wiped and possibly the format changed from NTFS to FAT32 (or opposite), but the partition itself remains allocated which is not the case with deleting.
So, when deleting a partition formatting is not possible.

What are the specs of the system?

 

12 GB DDR3 with a Gigabyte H61M-DS2 motherboard and a GeForce GTX 430. It also has an Intel Core i5-3570K CPU

 

PSU, cooler, Case and other stuff?

 

I don't know the rest you'd have to ask him and he doesn't know. He wanted me to get his specs from the DXDIAG... it doesn't give you those as far as I know.

 

The PSU and cooler need to be checked from inside the case.

 

i believe it is fixed. my proccesor has integrated graphics so i removed my vid card entirely. I. than changed my moniter plug into my mobo and for now its working fine.

will update if it breaks down again
