Yo. I can't play demanding games for very long before Nadia display driver crashes. I know this is some windows function for when gpu takes too long to do something. But I disabled it. It still crashes but without any msg. I know it's not a heat issue. So look away from that as a cause. Any ideas? Edit: Lol I didnt see that I wrote Nadia instead of Nvidia until now. Stupid phone. Arrrrrr
Have you tried reinstalling/updating the [b]Nvidia[/b] drivers? [editline]12th January 2013[/editline] What card is it?
GTX 460. Have formatted, so I'm certain its not a driver issue. Got the latest drivers installed. I thought it was a heat issue because i used FurMark to stress test the GPU, it would crash at 98c. Now tho, I've seen it crash at 85, so I know it's not a heat issue.
85C is still pretty hot. I think the most my card has gotten to is around 70C. You should check the BIOS for any temperature threshold settings, it's possible that the card automatically shuts down when a certain temperature is reached
Yes thats what I though, but seeing it shuts down both around 98 and 85 (so just randomly really) I doubt its the heat threshold thingy... Also, between 80 and 90 is not very uncommon at all when it comes to the newer GPUs. They are made to take that kind of heat. If it really was a heat issue, I would for sure have seen any other sign of heat issue, but I havent. No artifacts, no lag, stuttering, nothing at all. Only crash.
For a 460, 90 is nothing.
These cards can run pretty hot. My old GTX275 was working happily at a comfortable 95c. 85 sounds about right. The reason that your drivers crash may be caused by lack of power. Which PSU do you have?
My 6770 can and has done 100. I believe it shuts off around 120. I wouldn't be surprised if the 460 is even more than that.
Got a 850 W PSU. I doubt it's power related though, because I had the card probably a year before anything happened, and that was on a 650 W PSU.
850W says nothing if it's a shit brand.
Silver Power SP-S850 850W PSU
Ok from the dumb rating i can assume that its a bad PSU. I still dont think thats the problem tho seeing I didn't have that problem in the beginning at all, then it just happened more and more often over time. I changed to a more powerful PSU but problem persist, no change.
[QUOTE=loophole;39222915]For a 460, 90 is nothing.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure whether it can physically destroy it or not is irrelevant, it seems to fuck up and lead to driver crashes often. It also lags at such high temps, and side note: he did say 98C, which is almost enough to boil water.

Try getting more fans or something, or just not playing/doing intensive stuff. [editline]20th January 2013[/editline] side note: my 9800 gtx used to get up to 90C and would lag/artifact/crash It is also possible you overclocked too hard, if you did.
It's not a heat issue.
[url]http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Fix-the-Nvlddmkm-Error/[/url] Try step 3 first. Use driversweeper to clear out anything and everything related to nvidia.
To absolutely clarify: Not a heat issue, and not a driver issue (unless it's the actual driver from nvidia causing the problem) I just formatted my whole PC two weeks ago, so all drivers have been cleared and installed fresh. So no need to run any driversweeper. And the reason I know it's not a heat issue is: It crashes at no specific temperature. It crashed at 81 few days ago. There is no way that 81 is too hot. I am seeing no lag, no artifacts, nothing indicating a heat issue. It just crashes, no warning at all... Well I can tell 2 seconds before it crash because it will do a minor lag and then screen go black. In most games all I need to do is to alt tab and go back in and it will continue to run. In some games i'll have to restart the game because the crash causes the game to crash as well. I have cleaned the card as well as it possibly can be cleaned. I've used air to blow away dust, as well as a vacuum cleaner to gently suck away dust. I've taken off the whole cooler/heatsink and cleaned away the old TIM (which btw was kinda dry) and reapplied a fresh batch. If it really is a heat issue, why did it take almost a year before I ever had this issue at all? The temperature is more or less the same as when I bought it. (I've checked all other temperatures in the PC as well, nothing is really hot)
