Hello!

A few games are crashed after a few minutes of gaming. The mouse got stuck for a few seconds after I'm able to alt+tab but the game process is not responding.

I found the following errors and warnings in the Windows event logs:

**-the first one:**Warning 7/18/2022 8:46:11 PM WHEA-Logger 17 None

    Hello David

    I'm Having the same Issue I've gone through the process of uninstalling and reinstalling the Nvidia Drivers, I've rolled them back to a version that previously worked.

    Run DISM scan & Restore, and even went as far as doing a full wipe of my C: Drive and reinstall of Windows to try and make sure there wasn't any errors occurring due to a corrupted update of either system.

    However even after all of this I'm still having this Error occur and it's causing full system Crash and lockup that can only be resolved by cutting power at the supply, which is far from health for a system.

    Any further advice would of great help as I've run out of idea's at this point, and the system in question is only 2 years old.

    Regards

    James R

    Thanks for the clarification.

    In this case, I suggest you use the system file checker to repair possible corrupted or missing system files.

    1. Open Start and type cmd, right-click on "Command Prompt", and select "Run as administrator".
    2. Run the following commands at the Command Prompt one at a time:

    dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth

    dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

    dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup

    sfc /scannow

    1. Restart the PC and see if the problem is resolved.

    Hello David-M,

    Thanks for the response. I did the clean installation and also installed the latest Nvidia drivers but the error still occurs. What else could be a problem?

    Best regards,
    Pavel

    Hi, I have the same issue. The screen freezes, turns black and after a few seconds restores to normal with the nvlddmkm error in the event log.

    This has been happening while browsing the web & watching youtube videos in the past few days as well.
