Windows 10: Windows 10 - nvlddmkm driver problem causing application failures

I built a new Windows 10 PC a few months back and chose the Nvidia RTX2070 super graphics card. I also upgraded to a Benq 4K monitor which is connected via USBC and I have a 1920 HD monitor connected via a standard display connector. I am on the current studio driver having used DDU to remove all old drivers and load a new one in safe mode. The driver is 27.21.14.1518 Nvidia 451.48. I have 64G of RAM and have tested that. I've had a range of issues. Sometimes I was working in Photoshop or Premiere and the system slowed to a crawl - the mouse didn't move, or very slowly, the screens went black and eventually I have to force a restart using the power button. I changed the power setting for the PC to maximum performance after that. Then I have issues in Photoshop where I have spent some time drawing a detailed path and I see the screen flicker to black and then back to normal, some strange flashing colors in odd places in the image which are not there when you zoom into that area, and then Photoshop just exits. When I look at the event viewer, I usually see a NVLDDMKM driver error, then I see an Nvidia OpenGL driver with error code 3 subcode 2 and then the display recovers. Of course, Photoshop has fully exited. I can continue to use the PC after this. I can sort of force the crash - I drew a long path and then render flames along it. The odd color pixels flashed as this was happening, but the flames rendered, but shortly after that, Photoshop crashed. The card is still relatively new 3 months, so I'd like to find out if this is hardware related. I do have an older graphics card that I can reinstall, but that is quite a bit of hassle if there is a software fix! Any ideas? Steve

Nvidia driver problem with 940 MX on Windows 10 x64

I would only go back to the driver from the computers manufacturers if you experience any issues with the latest drivers from devie manufacturers.

If everything is still working well with the clean boot then you can start troubleshooting as follows to start:

How to determine what is causing the problem after you do a clean boot


1. Log on to the computer by using an account that has administrator rights.
2. From Start, search for msconfig. (In Windows 10, use the Search box from the Start menu. In Windows 8 or 8.1, swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search. Or, if you are using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, and then click Search.)
3. Select msconfig or System Configuration from the search results.
4. Tap or click the Services tab, and then tap or click to select the Hide all Microsoft services check box.
5. Tap or click to select the upper half of the check boxes in the Service list.
6. Tap or click OK, and then tap or click Restart.
7. After the computer finishes restarting, determine whether the problem still occurs.
• If the problem still occurs, repeat steps 1 through 6, but clear the lower half of the check boxes in the Service list that you originally selected.
• If the problem does not occur, repeat steps 1 through 6, and select only the upper half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the Service list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.
• If you still experience the problem when only one service is selected in the Service list, this means that the selected service causes the problem, and you should go to step 11. If no service causes the problem, go to step 8.
8. Repeat steps 1 and 3 in this section.
9. Tap or click the Startup tab, and then tap or click to select the upper half of the check boxes in the Startup Item list.
10. Click OK, and then click Restart.
• If the problem still occurs, repeat steps 8 and 9, but clear the lower half of the checked boxes in the Startup Item list that you originally selected.
• If the problem does not occur, repeat steps 8 and 9, and select only the upper half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the Startup Item list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.
• If you still experience the problem after only one Startup Item is selected in the Startup Item list, this means that the selected Startup Item causes the problem, and you should go to step 11. If no Startup Item causes this problem, a Microsoft service probably causes the problem. To determine which Microsoft service may be causing the problem, repeat steps 1 through 7 without selecting the Hide all Microsoft services check box in each step.
11. After you determine the startup item or the service that causes the problem, contact the program manufacturer to determine whether the problem can be resolved. Or, run the System Configuration utility, and then tap or click to clear the check box for the problem item.
