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.

    I have had a gutful of Windows10 - and have decided to reinstall Win7 !

    It is full of bugs and should not have been rolled out (any wonder they gave it away for free !)

    I have spoken to others with BRAND NEW PC's and they are also having trouble - so if you are considering upgrading to Win10 - DON'T !!!

    Big deal. Microsoft's pocket are deeper than mine!

    I gave up on getting a fix. I tried every suggestion I came across and sometimes I got a few days without a TDR failure, but it was only a temporary hiatus.

    I found a resolution, though. I yanked my nVidia GeForce card and put in a newly purchased AMD Radeon. It cost me a hundred and a half, but it's rock solid. It's definitely worth the reliability and peace of mind.

    I guess that's not a possible fix for you laptop guys, but if you've got a desktop and some extra money you can end the aggravation.

    Go back to 8.1, it's better for gaming than 7 was, surprisingly. I switched back to 8.1 from 10 and am much happier.

    sounds like that Acer panel may have some problems

    I have the Asus PA238QR and I am using HDMI successfully with it

    I hate low end monitors so I spend $$$ in the IPS panel to have better color etc
