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!

Unfortunately no. I opened a case with Nvidia and ASUS and they're trying to help. They say:
Please note that nvlddmkm is an error code from Windows itself and not an actual diagnostic of any hardware, It may refer to different hardware and incase you need reference you may need to check forums from Microsoft https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/fixed-nvlddmkm-gamingvideo-crash-error-bad-ram/d81304c3-78ef-45a9-ba67-93cf12df0cd3
So are you still experiencing nvlddmkm now??
Still testing. As of right this second, no I'm not. I'm not using the latest driver build either. I'm using an older version 551.23. I also removed some RAM and changed the PCI slot my GPU was using. Not sure if it's going to crash later. If all is good tonight I'm going to put memory back and move GPU back and see if it still works.
Try 551.23 but use the NVIDIA cleaning tool first.
I wanted to add to this conversation that I was also experiencing this issue with error code 153. That was odd to me, as when my driver crashed in the past, it would be event ID 0.
I noticed this issue started after I updated to driver 555.85 on May 21. I reverted back to 552.44 (released on May 9) and I haven't experienced error code 153 at all.
I induced some crashes myself and now the error code is 0 again.
I haven't encountered random crashes yet, but I haven't had enough time to experiment with various situations, so I can't guarantee this will fully fix the cause of the errors. But as of a couple days, I haven't had this issue come up yet.
Thanks for your input. More and more I'm thinking this is a driver issue. But I did swap some hardware so further testing is needed. So ridiculous these issues after paying $2K for a GPU.
