Windows 10: VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE and game crashes

Hello, I got my PC fixed and was finally able to enjoy playing some games but then after a while I started getting crashes and bluescreens.I also got other bluescreen codes but to my knowledge they got fixed and it's the only one that's persistent.I tried reinstalling the GPU drivers, undervolting + underclocking and deleting nvidia virtual audio from device manager since it fixed the problem for someone. Reinstalling the GPU drivers and uninstalling the virtual audio only fixed the problem temporarily, while undervolting and underclocking didn't do anything.When crashing it always says the nv

all games crash!

I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
What happens?
If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
What X1800XT model do you own exactly?

 

all games crash!

ive watch my temps and both the cpu and gpu are within normal ranges. when it freezes it simply freezes the image and stops the sound. i must reboot to get back to windows.

 

VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE

Hi,



Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for posting. We appreciate your interest in Windows 10.



We apologize for the delay in response and inconvenience caused for you as unable to play the game due to an error VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE.



The VIDEO_TDR_ ERROR bug check has a value of 0x00000116. This indicates that an attempt to reset the display driver and recover from a timeout failed.

Check this:

The most common reason for this issue is that the graphics device is being overloaded or used beyond its capabilities.



This happens most often when playing graphic intensive games, but can happen with any process that uses a large amount of graphic resources, such as when editing or creating videos.



I would suggest you to download the latest graphics card drivers from the manufacturer website and install it in compatibility mode. Follow these steps to install the drivers in compatibility mode and check if that helps.

• 
  Download the driver from the manufacturer’s website.
  
• 
  Right-click on the driver setup file and click on ‘Properties’.
  
• 
  Click on the ‘Compatibility’ tab and check the box ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select Windows 8 operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation.
  
• 
  Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.
  

If the issue still persists, I would suggest you to get in touch with the game manufacturer since its specific to that particular game.



Hope this information helps. Reply to the post with updated status of the issue to assist you further.
