The description for Event ID 153 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found

Hello,

I have been plagued by countless annoying random game crashes the past months with my pc with all pointing out to this error (from event viewer) when they occur: "The description for Event ID 153 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event: 

\Device\00000092

Reset TDR occurred on GPUID:100

The message resource is present but the message was not found in the message table"

Have tried numerous possible solutions already from forums, but with no luck.. Fortnite and many other games crash after random intervals. Can anyone suggest a solution for this?

My specs are the following:

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10400F CPU @ 2.90GHz

Installed RAM G-SKILL F4 3200-C16 32,0 GB DDR4

GPU EVGA GTX 980 Superclocked ACX 2.0

Drives Patriot M.2 P300 512GB and Seagate Hybrid HDD 4TB

Motherboard GIGABYTE H510M H V2

Microsoft Windows 11 Professional (x64) Build 22631.3593 (23H2)

Have to note that i recently replaced almost all parts from the pc due to a previous motherboard burnout which killed many components, expect the PSU (which was repaired by the technician) and GPU (which the technician said was saved from the burnout) and the Hybrid HDD (have this HDD since 2016). Apart from this, i restored my windows partition through Macrium Reflect image backup (from the Hybrid HHD saved backup).

Thanks in advance for any possible solutions to this, if any!

    i saw this solution on reddit and what i did to enable full control was like you and removed trusted installed and set users access to full control, made sure it applied, and i changed it back to trusted installer with NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller. i dont know if thatll help but it might.

    Hi everyone

    I have the same issue as well, nvlddmkm error code with 153. Especially in Elden Ring, game suddenly freezes and its like game still working since I can still hear the sound of game is going on with frozen screen, after 7-8 seconds game closes and send me back to desktop. After that error log says “nvlddkm stopped working but recovered succesfully”

    I have tried everything mentioned above the topic and yet it still keeps crashing idk what else I can do. My pc specs as below:

    Msi suprim rtx 4070ti

    Msi tomahawk motherboard

    Gskill ripjaws ddr4 ram (16x2)

    İntel i7 13700kf processor

    Samsung ssd evo

    I am thinking about neither phisical damage nor something went wrong with Gskill rams. Dont know what else might be. I measured pc specs at crush moments btw here is one example below:

    • Gpu usage 48% / Gpu temp 50 Celsius
    • Cpu usage 10% / Cpu temp 69 Celsius
    • Ram usage 11585 mb
    • Fps was 60 / game was Elden Ring

    Well I know the error 153 should have any power delivery problems but in my case (were I did have this error in my events Right before the crashes) it did. I would recommend you to resit or even change the power cables and see if it continues. 8 also wouldn't put a desktop computer to power saving mode. Windows power management isn't very good.

    Either way I hope you find a solution to your problem.

    It could be that the error has extremely different causes.

    Because when I compare my configuration, it has nothing to do with your issue.

    I don't use any extra cables. Neither PCIe riser cables nor extra power supply cables.

    I don't play games on this PC enough (not for months, and when I do, it's older games like Battlefield)

    I have the problem (freezing and later seeing error 153 several times in the event log) when my computer is idle for a while. Unfortunately (or maybe it's a good thing), this happens very rarely.

    I always put my PC into energy saving mode (except of course every now and then and after updates etc. when I restart it), because I often have to get to work quickly...just as a side note.

    ...so I just want to say that Err 153 / Freezing / nvlddmkm probably doesn't necessarily have anything to do with load (gaming), nothing directly with various non-original cables or the like.

    Unfortunately no I'm still dealing with it. No matter what drivers I use this happens. I'm sending a second card back to ASUS for replacement. If this doesn't fix it I'm going to sell and get another brand.
