Nvlddmkm \Device\Video3 Error occurred on GPUID: 900

1. Limit FPS to 120FPS via Nvidia control panel

2. set power management to "adaptive" in Nvidia control panel

3. Usw MSI Afterburner and add a flat -50MHz to VRAM, and lower power limit to 80%

~~One note though, I don't have the "adaptive" power management option on the Nvidia control panel, but that might have something to do with me using Studio drivers instead of Game drivers.~~ 

~~Many thanks to the @mkxy~~

Even though I appreciated the input striken above, which improved a bit the reliability, in the end it didn't work. 

After two entire days (didn't happen for a few months now), I can say that I have no freezing issues anymore, without using Afterburner. 

The only setting which made a difference on my MSI Ventus 4070 Ti 3X 12G OC (read in the nVidia forums) is to change "**Power Management**" to "**maximum performance**".

Again, this is for very low GPU loads, just for using the computer I had lockups. Hope it helps someone. 

I don't have any other specific settings applied other than using PCIe gen3 instead of gen4 which was impossible to use with my Asus B550-i.   
  
**Edit**: even considering the improvements above, I still had issues with the board. I ended up removing it and reseating it with as best care possible, and that resolved the issue (no issues for months now).

same here, ive been having this issue for over a year now. every time i take it to the shop i got it build at they fixed it somewhat but then 6 months later (this is the case every time) it happens again. ive done DDU ive done nvidia control settings. almost everything. not surehow im gonna be able to get it fixed. might aswell move to a AMD GPU cuz it would work better with my ryzen 5 5600x

I think this post sums it up perfectly. Thank you very much for your contributions, very much appreciated.

btw. didn't know until now that those three things basically do the same. Every day you learn something new^^

@mkxy Honestly man, even though you are right, you got your point across in a way that is not constructive. I think I'm not the only one who didn't quite get what you were trying to get across. Nevertheless, also thank you.
