Repeated crashes and BSOD on ASUS TUF A15

Hi everyone! I got last month an Asus Tuf Dash 15 with I7 11th CPU with a RTX 3060.

I have the same issue with blue screen "tdr failure nvlddmkm".

I tried a few methods with technician´s help, but it still happend.

Now i am going to try changing the Link State Power Managment to off.

The problem appears during watching a video on youtube or anything else that not consume a lot of energy. When im playing the laptop goes Ok.

I cant try the "AMD controller method" cause the laptop has an Intel CPU.

Hope you all could solve this problem.

Greetings from Argentina!

These are really interesting ideas...thanks! I'm short on play-around-with-the-computer time right now, but you've given me some ideas. Much appreciated! And post you linked to is well written and concise, to boot!

I posted this on the other page. Generally anything I have done with drivers, etc has done nothing. But some of the changes that effect sleep/hibernate and power settings have increased stability.

I don't know anything about hardware, but yes something to do with the power and interrupts and having a dual GPU system. The 99% max processor state may work as well, but not sure if this applies to the BSOD often occurring after sleep, during youtube etc. problem.

Not sure if you tried the TDR TDRddidelay settings.

SOLUTION TWO: (Tdr & TdrDdiDelay).

SOLUTION THREE: (Link State Power Management).

SOLUTION FOUR: (NVIDIA Power Management Settings).

I had a lot of problems with BSOD that occurred during low power times like using YouTube after coming out of sleep.

I think my problem isn't related to my ASUS TUF Dash specifically so I looked up How to Fix a Video TDR Failure BSOD Error in Windows 10.

The three things I did that seemed to have fixed or at least improved the problem were

Use System Files Utility Checker to Fix System Files

type sfc /scannow and press Enter. (it found corrupted files)

Turn Link State Power Management Off

You can see Link State Power Managementin the Power Options of your system’s Control Panel. 

Turn off Sleep, let the PC go directly to hibernate (this was suggested by a random guy somewhere. He state the hibernate was more more stable and less buggy than sleep in Windows10)

These three things made my system a lot more stable although I will have to wait a few weeks to really be confident the problem is gone.

I haven't tried the 99% max processor method because my issues all occur during low processor states.

I would guess there is some issue with how the GPU is getting power from the motherboard during low power states.

Wakawakawa, thanks for replying! I've run sfc and DISM CheckHealth, ScanHealth and RestoreHealth. Also, I always set LSPM to off on a new system install. In terms of Sleep vs Hibernate, my experience is opposite from what your random guy has suggested: Sleep has always seemed the more stable/reliable choice over Hibernate. Though I'm pretty old school and Hibernate may have improved over the last several years. Guess I could re-enable it and try.... That said, this appears to me as a poorly executed video subsystem issue; some combo of the dual video subsystems (integrated AMD Radeon and NVIDIA dedicated GPU), drivers and/or hardware interrupts messed up. I wish I could completely turn off the AMD Radeon integrated graphics in the BIOS, that would be a great diagnostic tool. Sigh...
