My display driver keeps shutting down and recovering. I have looked in every forum I can find to get a solution...
Why isn't there some way the common man can fix problems by themselves? I can rebuild an automobile engine but I can't fix this damn computer.
If you can rebuild an engine you can fix your PC. Admittedly PC's can be more complex, in regard to programming in particular, and know one can claim to know everything about them, but it is still
just a machine.
PC's are not trouble free and can be cantankerous, but you can keep your PC happy by applying the same sort of dedication and lack of fear of the unknown knowns that you apply to mechanics
(including at times replacing somewhat expensive parts).
However, if you aren't interested in the in's and out's, or nuts and bolts of Windows, yes you will
need a tech/mechanic.
From what you say, I guess we can assume you have been to the Nvidia forums already.
It sounds like you are having a problem with the dread TDR error. TDR errors can be difficult to troubleshoot, but as Gordon suggested, start your own thread and give full details of when the
TDR occurs and what fixes you have tried.
Also list your full system specs ( a Speccy report would be better).
- A Speccy report will list your system specifications and other potentially useful information -
Speccy - Standard
Run Speccy in normal Windows mode (not Safe mode). When it has finished analysing the details
click on 'File' and 'Publish Snapshot' - Copy the 'unique URL' and paste it in your new post.
No premisses on finding a fix, but maybe we can and least eliminate some more potential causes of TDR.
- There is some small chance that a registry entry relating to the Nvidia drivers is causing the TDR,
but this can be addressed during Nvidia driver installation (which we can cover in your new thread) .
