I am getting a blue screen of death every time I am trying to play a game. It happens in less than 1 minute. Blue screen, video_tdr_failure and freeze.
I have tried everything, and this is apparently a wide spread issue.
How can this be fixed? My Computer is basically useless for gaming now that I upgraded to windows 10. (I have a gaming laptop from 2014, with fine specs, it is not overheating or anything) .....
my Windows 10 has been freezing randomly with no blue screen and no event log. I haven't found any discernible pattern in the crashes, whether I am gaming, drawing, or browsing the web, and I have tried updating drivers.
For some reason it isn't allowing me to activate Windows, could this be part of the issue?
I am using a HP envy i7 laptop i usually don't switch it off regularly instead i keep it into sleep mode, last night it failed to come back to life from sleeping,it brings blue screen error message that DRIVER POWER STATE FAILURE even after several restarts. How can i fix this without damaging my files coz my laptop is useless for now.
View 1 RepliesMy computer is working fine, and I click on a video, and my screen just goes blank. Then my computer shuts down and restarts. Then a blue screen comes up and says Video TDR Failure. How do I stop this from happening.
View 1 RepliesI recently upgraded to Windows 10, since upgrading I'm having pretty regular BSOD Crashes where the following error message appears;
VIDEO TDR FAILURE (nvlddmkm.sys)
It appears to happen at completely random times, could be watching a youtube video, opening a reddit page or just playing a song on itunes. I've updated to the most recent Nvidia drivers but to no avail. I also tried to follow the following instructions from this youtube video [URL] ...., however its still happening.
My computer is currently pretty much unusable! Specs are below :
Intel Core 2 Quad-Core Processor Q9550 (2.83Ghz, 1333MHz FSB, 12MB cache)
4096MB 800MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [4x1024]
Hard Drive 1TB NCQ SATA (2x500GB) 7200Rpm Dual HDD Config Raid 0 Stripe
Single 1GB DDR3 nVidia GeForce GTX285 graphics card
PCI Card Ageia PhysX 128MB
Integrated HDA 7.1 Dolby Digital Audio
I got a problem with my GPUs on my laptop.
Basically, after closing a game (WoT), but not all times, I get a BSOD which refers to the folder igdkmd64. I tried any solution, but none of them worked. How can I solve this?
I recently built a computer on an $850 budget. I got it all put together, and I installed Windows 10 from a flash drive. It worked for a small while, then it blue screened with the error 0xc000000f (This was due to a HDD failure of some sort, so I replaced it and stopped receiving the error).
Now when I am booting up to install Windows 10 (because I swapped HDDs) it will act normally and proceed with the installation. The problem comes after it restarts to set everything up, and it wants me to install Windows like I hadn't tried to install it and as if it hadn't restarted.
Here are the specs for my computer (if it has anything to do with it):
Motherboard- Gigabyte GA-Z97X-GAMING 7 ATX LGA1150
Processor- Intel Core i7-4790K
RAM- Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB
So 4 days ago i decided to build a new PC. For my GPU i decided to get a PowerColor Devil 13 Dual Core r9 290x (the cause of the problem), which as i understand, is the same as 2 290x's crossfired. I set up my PC with Windows 10 pro and the OS had installed the r9 200 series driver. Windows messages started popping up, saying that the vidoe driver has stopped responding.
After a few of them, the blue screen of death popped up with and error message:
SYSTEM_THREAD_EXEPTON_NOT_HANDLED, with sometimes some of them being with a different error message- like VIEDO_TDR_FAILURE or CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED.
Still, all of them occurred after a video driver had been installed. I obviously tried installing them myself from the AMD website, but the same happened. Even with the driver auto detect utility, as some said, doing so would fix it, but no. I tried my PC setup with my old r9 280x and everything worked perfectly.
My laptop, an Acer, has been freezing multiple times a day recently. Sometimes I get a blue screen eventually that tells me there's been a WHEA error, sometimes none of that. Yesterday, I kept staring at the screen for a while instead of restarting, and eventually it recovered. I could see the processor activity climb to 100%, and that interrupts claimed up to 14% of the activity. Afterwards, the network adapter (Qualcomm Atheros AR956x) was turned off, apparently because of a 'code 12' - 'insufficient available resources'.
That problem was only resolved after a restart. When I shut the computer down, I got a screen telling the computer was being 'prepared' for a long time - sometimes I also see a blue screen showing the installation of updates at start-up, even if none were waiting to be installed. The drivers for the network adapter are up to date, version 10.0.0.318 (apparently dating from May 2015). I'm quite sure this is a software issue - 'chkdsk' doesn't find any problems, nor does 'sfc /scannow'. And a friend of mine with an Apple laptop running Windows 10 (we've never exchanged USB sticks or anything) has exactly the same problem since installing Windows 10 (different network adapter however, and seems to have improved recently).
I just installed Windows 10. The install went fine, but now I am at the login screen, and that is as far as I've gotten. I have the option to click on all of the buttons on the login screen, but as soon as I click one, be it hitting enter after entering my password, or hitting the next button, or clicking "I'm not Eric", it freezes.
I can't click anything, the button I clicked stays the color it looks when you press it. I then continue to click until the loading wheel appears, then the screen gets the white haze like a program isn't responding, and then goes black and reboots. I can click on the clock looking image that gives you some options, and I can click and unclick those, but as soon as I try something else, freezes.
System meets the requirements, have a genuine copy of windows 7 ultimate, downloaded windows 10 from the media launched or whatever it's called that you can bypass the wait time for receiving the update. It was from the window site, so I feel comfortable in believing it isn't a fake or anything.
EDIT: When I turn on the narrator, everytime I make a key stroke it says "Hidden", not sure what the entails
I get a new computer, but it keep getting BSOD when using it. Playing, surfing, installing stuff...
At any moment, with nothing in common between one or another.
The screen freezes a bit before getting the BSOD.
I tried a new installation but it keep happening.
Tried with different Drivers, taking off some usb devices...
Ever since I upgraded, my screen is freezing when in Google Chrome. The mouse still works but I am unable to close out or launch another application. A window eventually comes up that says "do you want to kill" this page or "wait". This is happening more and more often.
View 2 RepliesI upgraded from Windows 8 to 10 without a hitch an hour ago and kept all of my personal files and apps. I set up my start menu and everything was working fine, but I wanted to change the image on the logon screen (or whatever you call the screen in between the lock screen and the screen where you enter your PIN/info). So I took a risk and downloaded the 3rd party app here:
[URL] and uploaded an image and hit apply. Of course right after doing that I went to lock my PC to see if it worked, and as you can tell... it didn't.
I've tried rebooting and it hasn't worked. It's just very rapidly flashing between a blue screen w/ a loading circle and my lock screen image.
Freezing, black screen, no cursor, monitor goes to sleep, computer still running after upgrading to Windows 10 from Windows 7. Must manually force computer shutdown. HP desktop.
View 1 Repliesjust recently i installed windows 10 (clean install) on my built desktop. At first it was fine installing programs etc. Then not sure what i installed last or what happened during an installation but now when i try to install a program like Nivida Graphics Card Driver the blue screen error comes up. It never fails, even if i try and install skype it also causes the problem. I originally had the Nvidia G experience installed but i read online that this might be causing the problem so i uninstalled successfully but it is still happening.

I recently upgraded to windows 10 from 7 and at first my windows had gotten corrupted so I reinstalled my PC and everything was fine until it blue screened then after that it has randomly crashed my PC without a blue screen ....
View 1 RepliesI had a computer man in to install Windows 10 and remove Windows 7 and I wish I had never done it. I can be writing away and then all of a sudden it freezes and comes up with a couple of pop ups before waking up again. Occasionally the computer freezes solid and I have to manually switch it off. I have the computer man coming again tomorrow which will cost me more money but I'm getting close to just giving up and buying an Apple.
View 19 RepliesI upgraded my Toshiba laptop automatically from 8.1 to 10 when the software came out (months ago) - have had no issues with it. Then I was using my laptop then flashed blue and turned off. It now comes up with with recovery - your pc/device needs to be repaired .. Due to critical system driver missing or corrupted (see image) - I'm able to access the recovery settings - have tried refresh, system restore, automatic repair, nothing works and seems to get worse.
I've searched for the last day forums and most people seem to have boot/bcd errors and so don't work for this problem. I have a lot of personal files/photos that haven't been backed up for about a month and want to save them! I've downloaded the Windows 10 iso to a usb - but have only get semi regular access to a Mac so unsure if it's bootable.
I ahve a desktop running windows 10. This last week I've been running into shutdowns that never stop. The blue screen that says "windows is shutting down" never goes away. In the end I'm forced to hold the power button to kill my pc (which I hate).

My computer has always been fine, until one day i was getting pop ups and redirected randomly, i notice a strange file called "techsmart computer" and was trying to delete it but couldn't so i wanted to go into safe mode and forcibly remove it, i open the start up menu simply check safe mode only and restarted, ever since all i see is the black screen with it loading with nothing else no repair, error message just it loading then it goes to the login screen the blue one and for some strange reason it is flickering as it its turning on/off and its a never ending load! if i press the power button its shutting down and it stops flickering, i searched online for solutions and nothing relevant and of the possible solutions i cant do because i can never get into the login screen, this is not a instillation issue or driver or graphics card, etc... started ever since i checked the safe mode, i want to mention i'm writing this using a different computer, also don't know if its a 32 or 64 bit.

View 4 RepliesAlthough normally random, the freeze (to which this dump file is related) happened whilst listening to music in firefox, using teamspeak 3 and playing guild wars 2, after 2 hours with no issues.I have run memtest86 in multiple memory configs, only to receive under 10 errors in test 13 which I understand is OK.The errors are systematic for my type of memory (all sticks show similar errors in test 13 regardless of memory slot).

So I'm on Windows 10 Pro, and a while back before I reset Windows and am where I am now, anything Minecraft related would crash as soon as it finished loading. So I'd open up a modpack or just plain Minecraft and as soon as it got to the title screen, boom, blue screen (Page fault in non paged area) so I looked everywhere for answers but none of them worked. Ultimately I just reset my PC (while keeping files if it makes a difference). So after installing my programs again Minecraft was no longer an issue, it worked as expected. Fast forward to today.
I open up Nvidia Geforce Experience to use Shadowplay, I click on Shadowplay, flip the on switch, and when I click the "Allow Desktop Capture" button, Bam same exact blue screen as before. I have tested both my RAM and SSD (windows memtest and Samsung magician's test for my 850 Evo) I don't know what is causing it anymore, I could test and see if the bluescreen occurs while on my integrated graphics or something. (Not sure if Geforce Experience would even open without my card though.
