Hey like in topic. I want just to know.
Always " Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered " means bad or faulty GPU?
I ask because only in 1 application i get that issue.



My previous card 770 Lightning was faulty, was crashing "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered" often in Unigine Heaven. Now on my actually next card after RMA ( Lightning 770 too ) all its ok in Heaven. But now only Metro LL is crashing "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered" when i am benchmarking. So what now?
RMA card because now its unstable on Metro LL benchmark? -.-


On my next current card after RMA(this is Lightning 770 too ) i get the same symptoms of crashing " "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered" but only in Metro LL benchmark D6 or mission last D6. Unigine is now no crashing, its ok now.
But like you see this is the same symptom of display crash in Metro LL bench now. Any suggestions? Its another not stable card?


Just always
" Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered EVENT I D 4104 " means bad or faulty GPU or not ?

It may or may not mean a faulty gpu.It happens sometimes but if it is stable in other games no need to worry.

That's a TDR. That means, typically, that your overclock on your GPU is too high or your cooling is insufficient.

Just a guess, but perhaps during heavy stress you're triggering something else that is the real issue? Perhaps you don't have enough power for that card during close to full load?

Can be Be Quiet Dark Power Pro 1000W not enough for Lightning 770?

Only in benchmark Metro Last Light . When i am gaming no issue whatever. Only in last mission i get display crashing for some time.

What is strange, when i turn off PHYSX in Metro LL benchmark i dont get any single display crash ( TDR ).
Anyhbody can explain me this? Why PHYSX ON making my driver to crash and recovery.

TDR can be many issues. It can also be a BIOS on the mobo that needs update. It can be drivers, random sensoring utilities and so forth.

TDR error just means the driver didnt respond in a predfined time set by windows.

LOL i install 9.13.0725 for fun i try benchmark with PHYSX ON and no crashes .

I make 40 loops without crash on PHYSX ON
And next second time i made 50 loops without crash.

Why updating drivers for PHYSX resolved problem of driver nvlddmkm.sys crashing?

Its PHYSX something related to?
