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

    Hi PaulGiampiccolo,

    Did you enabled the Windows Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduler ("HAGS")?

    Just sharing my experience, from everything i did try, nothing solved it until I tuned off the Windows Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduler ("HAGS"). I was actually least suspecting this was causing the issue. Turns out, it was the culprit. Just a toggle off and everything works well.

    This is as far as my experience went, hopefully it could be at your help.

    Glad this helped someone. I happened to be testing if PUBG performed better with HAGS on or off, and my game started to crash with this error as soon as HAGS was enabled.

    Hi,

    I am facing almost the same issue since October last year. I am using a laptop Alienware m15 r1 bought in Feb 2020. My laptop specifications are as below:

    • i7-9750H
    • RTX 2060 Mobile
    • 2x 16 GB RAM
    • Connected with S2721DGF via mini DP to DP

    Previously I was using AOC 24G2 and never had this issue. But after some times with this monitor I observed that the screen on the monitor will turn blank for a while then the screen on my laptop will turn blank and quickly both restored, and this only happens when I plugged off the charger (means after transitioning from charging to on battery). While constantly plugged in, I never had this issue. It usually occurred once after plugged off the charger, but not like instantly. There is some buffer after turning off the charger before observing this issue. Usually the screen will turn off and recover in less than a minute, but more than a few seconds.

    Just to clarify, my issue doesn't relate to whether I am gaming or not, but just when plugging off the charger. There is no issue when plugging in the charger as well. I have a feeling there might be some windows settings that are the culprits. I also just tried turning off variable refresh rate in windows setting.

    What I tried:

    • Reinstall nvidia driver
    • Clean install nvidia driver using DDU
    • reset the nvidia control panel
    • Change power option in control panel so that both on battery and plugged in are set to be identical
    • Lower the monitor refresh rate from 165Hz to 144Hz

    None resolves the issue. Now I just tried to lower the resolution to 1080p to check if the issue persists (still trying).

    Example of errors in event viewer before.

    Please help me. Thanks!

    Hi

    I have faced same error last night with cyberpunk 2077. Looked event monitor and some research. On Tomshardware and HP support websites came across sometihing.

    Please remove only nvidia drivers with DDU.

    Restart.

    And install fresh drivers from only VENDOR site not NVIDIA. NVIDIA drivers are too generic.

    If you have laptop download from laptop support website specific to model. Or a PC part MSI, EVGA, whatever u have install from their specific site.

    Good luck.

    I have same problem but my case is very weird. I got GTX 970 Strix and recently I swap my other parts for new one. Now I have these: Z590 Gaming Plus, i5-11400, 16 GB Corsair Vengeance 3200MHz, NZXT C650, clean windows 10 install and my old GPU 970 Strix. In my old rig all worked well but now I cannot run any games on pc. I can watch movies, I can work but can't play. Furthermore I took my GPU and test in my friend PC and it worked. Also I took my friend GPU (rtx 2060S), connect to my PC and it worked as well.

    I tested my GPU with newest win 10 version and with 1903 version

    I tested my GPU with newest drivers and with old ones

    No luck.

    Furmark works like charm, no issues there,

    OCCT VRAM test works as well without issues,

    RAM checked,

    CPU checked,

    Time Spy Bench - can't even turn it on,

    Can someone tell me what to do? I cannot afford new GPU and for me seems like my old one works.

    Please help.
