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!
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
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.
Hello everyone.
I have been troubled by this problem for a long time. It seems to come and go.
I have tried almost all the solutions you have listed in this thread but with no result.
The system crash would always come back at some point. The problem I had is system crash with no time for blue screen or sometimes many freezes before crashing. Always while playing a demanding game. Recently Elden Ring and heavily modded Skyrim.
Specs: 5800X3D on Asus Strix x570 e gaming, 32GB ram and a Gigabyte 2070super.
Long story short I am a computer technician and since the nvidia power adapter fiasco I had some intruding thought about my custom cables.
I switched them with the original provided from the psu, as a hail Marry and voila! I am gaming crash free for the last two days. With no sign of hiccups!
Please try my solution and let me know of the results. I hope that it will help you.
NOTE: DO NOT USE A SINGLE CABLE FOR MORE THAN ONE PCI-E SOCKET.
Same thing just happened to me...
Error states "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\Video3
Error occurred on GPUID: 100
The message resource is present but the message was not found in the message table"
Running on:
AMD RYZEN 7 7800X3D
ASUS TUF A620M-PLUS WIFI
32GB DDR5 5600Mhz - ADATA Lancer
RTX 4070 Super
I hardly believe it's an hardware issue. It has to be a software conflict triggered by either Microsoft, ASUS or NVIDIA. If it was an hardware problem, my GPU would've failed on every game, suffer on performance loss and show artifcats. (Which is not the case for me)
I've had a flickering screen when playing games on my laptop. I wasted months trying to find for a solution and contact Intel Support, but after playing around with the Intel Command settings I was able to completely fix the issue.
What I just said might not make sense for an IT specialist, but I am sure that this problem is triggered by a software. My graphics card works as it did almost 3 years ago. The only problem is the random "nvlddmkm" crash, which started for me since 2023. And who should be responsible for all this? The tech-companies who are shoving unstable driver updates, BIOS updates and all sorts of stuff into our computers and damage them.
