ISSUE:


Fresh new build, first time building a gaming PC (all the parts are fairly new)

Finished loading up and installing windows 10

Started to get Drivers for the computer and loaded in fine

GPU Driver install was strange, flickering on the screen (which I was told was normal) then black screen and nothing

Restarted

Got this message: VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE what failed: nvddmkm.sys

Later I also got: DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

and then automatically would restart

Repeated for awhile until I got access to the auto recovery system (ARS) from which I did a system restore.

loaded up got to the locked screen and the screen was all weird and looked corrupted

so restarted again until I got to the ARS and went into safe mode and rolled back my drivers for my GPU since when I went to update the drivers the computer told me it was the best ones available.


After rolling back my GPU drivers I was able to enter my desktop and everything seemed fine so I attempted another download of the GPU drivers which resulted in the constant repeating restarting with the message of VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE


Tried to reset my PC and had the same issue with VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE

after a bunch more restarts it is now stuck on a blue screen and with my cursor on it

and I seem unable to access the ARS (from what I understand is able to be accessed after restarting the computer a few times by holding down the power button)



Please, any help is appreciated.

What is causing Prime 95 to keep failing all the time in the first 10 minutes?

...and what will be your next step if THAT fails to make Prime stable? More volts?

I would think you would want to be using the LEAST amount of volts possible (for heat and longevity issues). That's why I suggested you use a more scientific approach to troubleshooting your instabilty. Meaning, IF your RAM passes 10 loops of MemTest with no errors at the speed you are trying to run, AND Prime continues to fail, THEN consider giving a bump to NB, FSB and Vcore (in that order).

 

Blue screen error VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE (atikmpag.sys)

Everytime l turn on my sony laptop which has windows 10 installed l get an error message saying "your pc ran into a problem and needs to restart" and gives me the error which is VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE. Once it finishs collecting error information it restarts
and ends up giving me the same blue error message screen and continues to restart itselfs over and over again. Therefore l am unable to access any settings on the device and the only solutions l can find online require me to be able to boot up the laptop
and access the settings through the desktop. Is there anyway to fix this error thanks

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
