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,
Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum!
Based on the issue description, it appears that you are getting an error video tdr failure on the computer.
To guide you in the right direction, I need a few more information from the computer that has the issue. Please help me answer the following questions:
1. When do you get this error message?
2. Were there any recent changes made on the computer prior to the issue?
I will certainly help you out with this 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.
Try installing the latest driver for your graphics card for Windows 10. Alternatively, try reinstalling the current driver you are using, as I had to do because AMD no longer updates the driver for my graphics card. While it hasn't stopped the error entirely, so far as I yet can tell, it has reduced the error. So far I haven't seen it yet today and I was seeing it daily; sometimes multiple times daily, always after waking the machine from sleep. Fingers crossed.
If you cannot get to the OS to reinstall the driver, try to Enable low-resolution video or (if that doesn't work) Safe Mode at the startup screen and reinstall the driver then. Make sure to remove the older one first by uninstalling and then using device manager to delete the files from the hard drive so they don't try to install again and mix older files with newer. Hope this helps.
UPDATED: I just had the problem crop up today so it isn't gone after all, although I expected that it would not be completely gone. Still happens on waking the machine from sleep. It has only been since build 14372 of Windows 10 that this has started happening.

Upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7 Ultimate and now my P.C. crashes and I get a ' VIDEO TDR FAILURE' report. Pl. help.
Have the same thing happening to me four times already. I never had this error until after upgrading to Windows 10 build 14372. It never occurs when doing anything except when waking my computer from sleep. No temperature errors at all could be involved in such a circumstance and the error never occurs when the card is running at higher temperatures. AMD no longer makes and updates drivers for 5000 series Radeon cards so cannot upgrade beyond current driver.
