Just wanted to warn people that there are a bunch of adds with download buttons. Make sure the file you downloaded is called DDU and not driver support or something. Very helpful video, thank you
I really appreciate your video. I worked with my son to show him how to resolve the issue based on your suggestions. We tried all the fixes and ultimately we had to underclock as you suggested by 30 for Core and memory. Thanks!!
Imagine if nVidia fanboys would actually agree they have these issues, and not just yell at people using AMD cards that they should get nVidia because they are flawless.. *sigh*.. i've had nothing but issues with nVidia.
Thank you so much when I lost hope after searching for hours I then came across your video, it helped me get through this struggle my graphics are better than ever. I really enjoyed this tutorial, your voice was so lovely I couldn't stop listening.
Legit and well explained video, I solved my problem with installing Game Ready Driver though. End of the day, my 8 years old 1050 TI still keeping up pretty well.
Studio Drivers did not work for me, so I used Game drivers. I am currently using the Ver537.13 Game Drivers. I usually download the latest ones, but I'm too lazy to download Ver537.42. I should mention that I still get this error sometimes, but not as much as in old times. I think my old friend is reaching its end.
I did all of this and it has worked (thank you). What I am glad you said as part of the commentary was that your graphics card may be on the way out. I have looked at a lot of websites to try and find a solution to this and for the majority of them they don't even mention the possibility that you may have a duff GPU - most give the impression that if you 'update the drivers' and tinker with the power settings that this will solve the problem (it never did). It would be more honest of them to say there is a chance that the GPU has reached the end of its life and you need to get a new one and no amount of tinkering will solve it. I do also need to add that for me the problem was specfic to one graphics card - a GTX970 - which I had bought off Ebay so no warranty return option there. If I swapped my old GTX580 back into the same PC (before your fix) and played the same game which had stopped with the GTX970 there was no issue. I never got a BSOD but I did get the same three error messages as you did in Event Viewer. Last point (honest) - I searched my C drive pre-fix for files called 'nvlddmkm' and found three of them - one from 2018, one from 2022 and one from 2023 - the one from 2023 is the same as the one which is there now post-fix. Following the DDU process I searched my C drive again and I now have only the one from 2023 - just a thought for those this did not work for to check their C drives to see if there is still more than one driver file there - you may need to run DDU again.
I saw weird stuff like this happening with a Dell Alienware R16 one year after the purchase date. It was not worth the hassle debugging/swapping out drivers, etc. Nvidia GPU's are very temperamental and require much tighter ventilation and power supply design than most consumer PC's can offer. Eventually, I got a Hewlett Packard Z series computer, which are used by engineering corporations concerned with reliability and up time.
Hey man, I don't know whether or not these solutions are gonna work (I hope they do) but I just gotta say, your voice is so soothing and sexy it relaxes me lmao
Thank you so much for this video, I've done everything and im going to try it out. I miss the days when your pc just ran for years without problems. I hope this works.
@@almostblackbelt I put mine at -33 like he told, but recently I keep decreasing the number till -20 and it's still fine. I use a gtx 1050 on laptop and not updating my driver since this year. I don't know somehow I'm believing that nvidia driver updates are just ruining the old graphic card more and more these days
My problem was just using After Effects, whenever I clicked on the TaskBar or another window, I experienced the nvlddmkm crash. I tried all the suggestions in the video, but was unsuccessful, until I found the solution on an Adobe forum. Turning off the Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling on Windows settings solved the problem here. I hope this can help others.

Thank you very much. You really helped me. I bought a laptop that had two graphics cards, Nvidia and Intel, and there was a problem with the Nvidia card not being read at all on Windows 10. I tried all the drivers, and the strange thing is that yesterday was the first time it worked, but after a minute of use, the blue screen happened ,it really scared out of me so much so that it did it three times, so i disabled the Nvidia card, and formatted the device.i though that problem of windows around the world happened for me too lol. However, I tried your method and concluded that DDU helped read the driver for the special card and make it work, and msiburner helped overcome the blue screen problem. Now the two cards together work efficiently. Thank you very much. +10
Just so you know your Laptop doesn't have ''two graphics cards'' Most CPU's have on board graphics so your PC/Laptop works without a GPU. Your just a lucky Boi and have a GPU too, happy gaming/working/browsing lol
@@DestroyerofBubbles lol it dit it again haha so i just deactivate that nvidia-_- working only on hd 4000 :( glad o bought it at a cheap price. With Nvidia card, I just wanted to try Windows, but unfortunately i think when ill need it ill return to Wn7 and let it only for gaming.
@@L3G3NDPERFECT0 My PC's CPU has UHD 770 integrated graphics and never had too touch anything to do with its settings, maybe it's a laptop thing? Good luck
The problem is not the GPU. The main problem is the 4-core processor and Nvidia does not support 4-core processors in its new updates and this is why the blue screen occurs.
Today I didn’t suffered freezed screen. This is the first day of my new life. I’ve had this problems for several years, since 7 or 8 years ago. i have tryed too many options but anything was useful. I have been desperate. Man, i really appreciate your video. I hope my pc works for years. You are god, i would like to invite you one beer. Greetings
nothing worked for me, except the underclocking my GPU instead of blue screening my PC, it just froze entirely and so i have to hard reboot it...think i need a new GPU
My problem is that i get these blue screen when im not "using" the gpu, a.k.a not gaming, if im playing a game, there is no problem, i even left fortnite open for more than 6 hours one day, but then, im just using the navigator (firefox) watching videos or listening music and it crashed out of nowhere, i tried everything, lets see if this works. EDIT: not even 30 minutes after and it crashed imgonnakillmyselfkalfjakcjka
@@irfaankhaan4669 apparently, my issue was the connection with the motherboard and the gpu, i don't know how to explain exactly what was happening, but a friend recommend me to put something under the gpu (not touching the fans of course) to help it be as straight at possible, i put a lot a rubber to make like a pilar and just by that it's working great, i did this crappy method because i couldn't afford a new mb at the time, but it worked, i don't know if that the same issue you have tho.
@@adammzte hey Adam, no but mainly yes. I had to roll back a year old driver or else it would give me the blue screen. I think there’s something wrong with my Gpu. So try going back to a year old driver. This could get rid of the problem but could cause other problems too, so idk if you wanna do this.
Nothing worked for me but I figured out what an issue is and I assume that many of us might have the same problem. Make sure your GPU is plugged in corectly, tighten all the cables in your pc and don't forget about the PSU. You can also clean the gpu a little bit with compressed gas but don't let your fans rotate when you do that.
TIP: Windows Microsoft store also will auto install an old version of Nvidia drivers after you have removed the drivers even if you tell Windows Update not to download any drivers and for me it was causing the issue. So to fix this problem I went into safe mode (hold shift while restarting) uninstall the drivers with DDU and then restart again in safe mode so Windows does not try to install these old Nvidia control panel drivers and Install your new drivers then restart into normal mode.
@@edwardbutler9648best way is to set your desktop as airplane mode. Enter safe mode to do the ddu. When you restart back to normal, it will still be in airplane mode for you to update your driver manually
I usually get the issue when using Photoshop and after following the first half of the tutorial everything that I do that normally crashes my computer seems to run fine now. Only thing I needed to reinstall was the Geoforce Experience stuff (obviously). Thank you so much for helping fix this 3 month issue
I built my system a year ago (RTX 4090 and 7800x3d) and have had this crash for 9 months and have tried everything except the gpu underclocking option. Finger crossed as it's my hope.
This is really help, but when following this, my pc still crash, then i found out, turn out i cannot use DCH driver, so i downlodead the older version, 2021 if im not mistaken, the standard non dch version, then following this step, boom, no more bsod. Thankyou
Thank you for this! I tried everything but in the end was just my 1050 TI dying :'( Anyway, she's gone. But the drivers tips made the problem go away for a little time.
I'm struggling to accept that this is the case for mine. But I need him (graphics cards aren't cheap at all and I'm in college...) Still, the laptop is 6 years old. Even if i used the intel gpu most of the time until recently, its still old. I've managed to install a studio version that doesn't have issues , but it does run slower... Only the most recent nvidia updates make it go bsod. But everywhere I go I just read "Keep ur graphics drivers updated!!!". I would. If nvidia and windows let me lmao.
I just reverted back to my old driver through device manager. So far i don't see any errors like the one with the newest driver. NVIDIA certainly can't make drivers.
not so much a bsod for me but recently i have been getting a temporary second of a blackscreen, then the screen resumes to whatever full-screen application im using sometimes steam webpages and or discord fullscreen strange but havent found a fix yet.
The messed up part is that it was like that for me at first and just progressively became what i call a soft bsod where it freezes, audio stutters for a good minute and hen fully just crashes
omg i hope this works!! i have been looking all over the internet for a fix!! mainly for kernel-power 41 crash.. but today i cought my pc doing nvlddmkm erro before it crashed.. so.. yes.. plz lord jeususs
I did all of this, but it still kept giving the same error. I did basically everything possible, I even restored Windows from scratch and nothing helped. I was in doubt between the HD, RAM and video card. In the end it was the poorly connected video card. It came loose a little when I went to clean the hard drive so the motherboard could recognize it again. A small problem with the motherboard not recognizing the HD led me to the problem with the video card, which in the end was only resolved almost 12 hours later.

This didnt really work for me, i followed all the steps even :( To be fair im running a GTX1050 system on my Laptop and its almost a Decade old. 10 years of constant beating, running an endless cycle of Overclocking and Underclocking, it takes a huge toll on your system. Even right now im asking for too much by running PS2 Ported games AND running a second monitor (albeit the 2nd monitor is just a simple not too fancy display but still). Moral of the story is take care of your devices people, im using mine now as a back up since my old one had a battery problem (Both are Asus), and is being repaired for over 2 weeks now and projected to be fix within 3-4 weeks. Build quality and Quality Control has gone to the shitter. Replace your devices every 5 years or so. When given an option between a PC or a Laptop, always choose the laptop one and never pick Asus, but also never pick any manufacturer because they seem to always break down. What has the world come to.
@@yxtsama ive gotten my new device fixed so im not using the old one for gaming anymore or using it at all, but ill probably try that fix someday, but i think it might be a CPU issue not a GPU issue and idt theres anything i can do with that
I underclocked which didnt work so now Ive undervolted at that still dosent work, temps are fine, Im watching everything on HWMonitor and everything looks great but my PC freezes randomly while gaming, think my 2080ti is toast
@@pesandujayawardena Mine just started working at 100% for 2 days, couldnt believe it, started crashing again non stop yesterday, so annoying. Get Vulkan errors and memory errors even though there was 3GB's of headroom. Sad indeed
@@DestroyerofBubbles did you try heading over to “reliability history”? From there we can see all the hardware failures with dates and times and it shows the specific thing that crashed during that time. Some people get this error if they have installed overlays like “Riva Tuner”.
@@pesandujayawardena No I haven't tried that but Event viewer always throws up "for Event ID 14 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found" but I will try what you suggested when I have time later, thanks
In my case, I always get BSOD when I try to open a specific game. None of the guide in this video worked for me. BUT instead of update the gpu driver, I re-install the older version of the driver. And it's SOLVED my problem. At least for now. So maybe it's the newest driver to cause the error or because my gpu incompatible with newest driver?
@@saifhosein2103 in my case, it does not. Real case is where i tested older driver to play newer game like Diablo 4. It has same performance as the newer drivers
Got this happening myself right now, either the black screening and can continue on, or my PC just fully freezes. I have said this before, probably a year or more ago but your microphone post processing effects really hurt my head and I have to listen on really low volume
You all are gaming? 😂😅 I was running yolov10 on my project and tried running another video and it CRASHED😢 i knew the drivers were outdated tho- anyhow THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO
I'm on 32gb i5-4460, 8gb 1070Ti. Loaded Rust, BSOD at the beach after 30sec. Sometimes it would last a long time without crashing. Seems to have issues with RUST like games. Same issue with SCUM. Occasionally (but a lot less) with Deadside. I was on 8gb RX580 before. No BSOD on the AMD, but a total Black screen!
My gtx 660 has this problem since 1 year i tried everything even changing thermal paste 2 times, baking the card in the oven and so on..did someone find a fix :c?
If the video doesnt fix your problem then your graphics card is overheating every time it tries to update its self. You have to take it to a shop and let them fix it. Or order new parts to cool the GPU often times the radiator.
I did all of these things and sent it in for repairs, they replaced the gpu. I'm now getting these errors again after about 3 months of having no issues. What Should I do?
it's a long shot but i think you gotta consider that the issue isn't with your GPU anymore since you have already replaced it with a completely new one, right?
@@dimitrion1338I agree I’ve done the same thing and ruled out the GPU. Also switched pci slots from x16 to the slower x8 just to make sure. I’m about to purchase a new PSU card at this point 😭
Any of you guys get this fixed? I replaced, ram, mobo, psu, all cables, monitor. Full clean install. Still happening. Has to be either gpu or cpu at this point.
The solution with DDU and nVidia Drivers clean installation seemed to work for me. I explain my situation below: I hadn't updated my Windows for 1-2 years. Then, I decided to update it. I also updated my nVidia Experience and drivers. After that, I started to get freezes on my PC in games. I found out, that in Adobe Premiere and Desktop the problem is the same. Minidump even not always was created. I start thinking that the problem in Video Card, but on the 5th freeze, minidump was created and there was an unknown error but not "nvlddmkm.sys" or "VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE". I reinstalled Motherboard drivers and nVidia drivers. Freezes in desktop are gone. Also I was able to export video sequence from Adobe Premiere where my Video Card was loaded on 99%, and play in simple games like "League of Legends", "Northgard", "HOMM 3". When I play in serious games like Black Desert Online, World of Tanks, Dead by Daylight, then I face with freezes in certain moments: when the map is loaded and was about to be shown, or when I open inventory in Black Desert Online. The games like" Left 4 Dead 2, HOMM 5, Age Of Empires 2: DE, also cause this error but more rarely. After I face a freeze, I hear that the game still running and I can hear shots and monsters. So I started to think that the problem not in videocard or Motherboard. I tried "Clean installation" in nVidia Experience, but it didn't helped. I tried to remove Display Driver through Device Manager and let Windows automatically search them on the Internet. Didn't helped. Updated Windows 10 - didn't helped. Found this video. Completed 1 case with DDU and clean installation, and it seemed to help. At least, earlier I could play Black Desert Online maximum 40 minutes, and the average playtime was 15-20 minutes. 3rd day I play 3 hours and 40 minutes and without freezes. Suppose, this helped to solve the problem.
@@irfaankhaan4669 I use MSI 1660 6Gb. Crashes are still exist. On 4th or 6th day, I faced with crash and with each day I face them more often but only when I play the game. I don't understand it. I suppose, that the game use certain techs that make video card to lead certain parts, and there are certain part that make windows crash. For the whole time I played, I can play whenever I want in Northgard and Video Card loads on 33%, but when I launch "Vampire Mansion" that is made with Unreal Engine 5 and loads video card only on 5%, then I can play without any problems, but right after I quit the game, in the next 1-2 minutes, I face with crash. Not in the game, but after the game on desktop. It's very strange. And if I restart my PC right away, then the desktop is still black, until I allow my PC be shut downed for 3-5 minutes. Someboyd said, that Motherboard went to "Emergency mode" or there are problems with Power, or with Motherboard, but I didn't found anything.
@@irfaankhaan4669 I use "GeForce 1660 6Gb". The problem still exist but it seems that DDU method helps on certain period of time, but then, it start freezing again. I want to mention. that Windows reinstallation can help, but I don't want to do that because I'll need to reinstall many programs and it takes pretty much time. They only case when I reinstall the Windows - is when I upgrade my Motherboard (in general, this happens when I update my PC with new CPU, RAM and Video Card).
@@AxveaSss already fixed it, i run DDU and clean uninstall nvidia. then i install old nvidia driver provide by my laptop driver installer. before when i play gta v and i alt+tab to other program and then back to gta v game, its will TDR crash, now the problem is gone, but now i use 2016 nvidia driver, lol
