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!

    That is not possible. I bought this card a year ago. I have had zero issues with this card until I installed 24H2.

    I can also confirm that the error is by no means reproducible and appears out of the blue. So you have to wait for it. Likewise (I already mentioned this), no dump file is written. The image freezes, NO blue screen and a RESET has to be carried out because no response to inputs is possible.

    I am having the same issue. It started about a month ago. My screen goes all black, then sometimes the PC recovers, or it hard crashes (skipping BSOD).

    I have updated the latest driver, but no avail.

    I also am having the same issue. I sent my GeForce RTX 4090 back to ASUS and they gave me a different one. Issue persists and it may be even worse now!

    Hello,

    I am having a similar problem with my "nvlddmkm" driver. This driver crash only happens in specified games (not every game), it doesn't appear when I do other tasks or watch youtube. There are no visible graphical issues, like artifacts. I own a ASUS FX706HC TUF Laptop with a RTX3050 Mobile GPU and i5-11400H, I had 16 gb RAM before, now I have 32 gb.

    This problem started to become an issue for me last year somewhere in March. I tried every possible solution known to the internet, nothing worked or atleast weakend the issue. I tried to reset my laptop to factory settings using WINRE, also replaced my RAM modules with newer ones, still nothing. NVIDIA and ASUS support were also unable at solving my issue.

    What I find weird, is that the problem sometimes doesn't recreate itself at all, or sometimes it happens once and then never again. I was able to play affected games for around 1-4 hours with no crash.
