I had this problem and think I have found the cure. Open up the Nvidia Control Panel (probably bottom right tasks bar) left hand side of control panel click on Phys configurations, click on automatic and change to GForce (if this is what your computer runs) click apply - hopefully this may cure your problems. If not increase the power to your cpu,
Hi Sya Erina,

2. Were there any recent changes made on the computer prior to the issue?

TDR is the Timeout, Detection, and Recoverycomponent in Windows. **** What happens is the Graphics Display driver for the installed graphics card stops responding. When this happens, windows will stop and restart the driver to fix the problem.
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.
Some things you can do to avoid these problems:
a. Make sure you are using the latest graphics device driver.
b. Manage your time working with programs that are graphic intensive, exit any other programs that might also use a large amount of resources.
I would suggest you to download and Install the latest graphic card drivers from the manufacturer’s website and check.
You can install Windows 7 drivers in compatibility mode if there are no Windows 8 compatible drivers.
Follow these steps:
a) Press the ‘Windows + W’ key on the keyboard.
b) Type compatibility in the search box and then press enter.
c) Click “Run programs made for previous versions of Windows” option from the list appeared in the left side.
d) Select the drivers and install.
If the issue persists or you have further questions on Windows, please do not hesitate to let us know. We will be glad to assist you.
Dell 5010 video dr problem. Start pc the error Will player
I've been getting that error message since yesterday every time I try to play Microsoft Solitaire Collection. It's fine until I click on the game I want to play, then I get the error message atikmpag.sys VIDEO TDR FAILURE and it reboots. Is this a Windows 10 problem? How do I fix it?
Is your system legacy BIOS or is it UEFI?
1a. If UEFI, press F12 repeatedly after turning on the machine until the Windows Boot menu comes up.
1b. If BIOS, iirc, F8 is the key you want to press repeatedly until the Windows Boot menu comes up.
2. Click or tap Troubleshoot.
3. Click or tap Advanced Options.
4. Click or tap See more recovery options.
5. Choose option 3) Enable low-resolution video.
6. When booted and logged into an administrative user, uninstall graphics drivers. Do not reboot if asked.
7. Make sure all files are removed by going to Device manager and uninstalling the driver. Make sure to check the option to remove the files from the hard disk before doing do.
8. Reboot. Now, download the latest drivers for your graphics hardware. Use only basic, default settings.
If you still can boot into your system after installing latest drivers, adjust one setting at a time, making sure with each change that you still can boot into the system normally. Make sure to keep notes of any settings you change in case you have to change them back. Also, check to ensure no thermal vents or heatsinks and heatsink fans are blocked or covered with dust.
