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!

    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.

    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.

    So, I have tried again using DDU in safe mode, but also, I have manually removed every Nvidia folder from the system, including the ones in the User folder AppData>Local. After that, I performed a clean install to the latest version 560.70. Before I installed this version, Windows 11 installed automatically the driver version 537.34. Finally, I have removed GPU Tweak, as for some reasons, sometimes is not showing me any information about the stats using OSD, only 0%.

    Since then I have been playing all the games that crashed before, as OW2, and most recent games as Flintlock and The Fist Descendant without any crashes or missing drivers messages with sessions higher than 3 hours.

    I'll keep testing it to see if everything is going fine....

    UPDATE:

    I had barely sent a positive message when I had to revise it. Shortly after my message, Windows froze again.

    This time I had watched a YouTube video.

    OLD:

    I had already reported it.

    I rarely play games. The problem with freezing and error 131 always occurred when I was away from the PC for a while and it was probably idle (for varying lengths of time).

    Since I VERY SIMPLY installed the new NVidia driver 560.70 and selected NEW INSTALLATION, at least my PC no longer freezes.

    However, I still get a lot of error 131.

    ...I use Win10Pro64
