I recently upgraded to Windows 10, I had Windows 8.1 before and did not like it so, I was more than willing to upgrade. Since I upgraded I have been getting the "VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE" Error while playing a game on Steam called Borderlands 2. This Error does not appear while playing any other game and did not happen before the upgrade. Any help with this? I have read quite a few posts that talk about updating the Graphics Card's Driver, but it is up to date. Not really sure what to do, other then downgrade back to Windows 8.1 until I can find an appropriate fix for this issue.

    Errr the issues isn't with NVIDIA video drivers, it's the Intel Graphics Driver that cause these two different BSOD errors, Don't think keeping your NVIDIA driver is up to date is going to solve ur problem, you need to update ur Intel Graphics Driver instead.

    This tread isn't an issue for NVIDIA video driver, I hope you knew that man?

    Pretty sure it's Windows 10 causing the issues with the Intel driver, seeing as I've never had a BSOD when I was running windows 8.1, some sort of conflict is going on there with the driver and windows 10

    I don't see how buying a heaping pile of Sh*t is considered solving the problem, it would have been cheaper, and more efficient to build a new PC. As many problems that windows has, I still prefer it over apple products. The only good thing about apple products is how easy they are to jailbreak.

    Thanks for your reply. My desktop is a Packard Bell iExtreme M5740 - fairly old now. It does not appear to have any Intel Graphics Driver - only NVIDIA drivers - and I had the problem with my previous OS which was 7. There was a lot of posts on the problem at the time, but no one ever seemed to find one thing that solved the issue

    Hey! You're entitled to your opinion, but your reply isn't helpful. I admit your suggestion would have been cheaper, but I'm happy with what I have at the moment. I just get a bit irritated that the Packard Bell has turned out to be the useless pile of junk!

    I'm having a similar problem. I downloaded the Intel driver updater, which told me I have no Intel products! Manually tried to install Intel graphics drivers, but the installer said my machine did not meet requirements! Running Windows 10 on 2007 HP a6300f Pavilion with new EVGA (NVidia) GeForce 8400gs GPU.
