650 ti errors - I'm losing my mind over this one -
10-05-2014, 11:06
| posts: 34
I've been asking around all possible forums, and nobody could help me with this... I might as well ask here! I was considering putting this under nvidia drivers section, but I just have no idea if this is a drivers related problem.
I bough a new computer, everything new except my GPU (650 ti, 2gb). I use the old one. I installed the same version of windows (8.1) as before, when everything worked fine. I'm especially talking about Max Payne 3. It worked OK on my old computer and it works very well on my new one, except, I get random freezes. Since day 1.
Well I can't really say "day 1" because freezes are random - sometimes it happens after one hour, sometimes it doesn't freeze at all, but rule of thumb, I get 1 freeze per 3 days, for sure. On my old computer, this didn't happen (granted, I didn't use the latest drivers).
Also, when game freezes, it doesn't actually freeze - I hear background noise and I can press escape and hear the sound etc., but the image is still, frozen, then turning to black. I can "gracefully" leave the game (click by memory).
So, the error is always the same. Firstly:
Quote:

Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered.

and then:

Here's the part where it gets interesting: when I ran max payne 3 with '-safemode' parameter, the game froze, went to black, but then returned and I was able to continue. Of course, the game still produced the all familiar "nvlddmkm stopped responding" error in event log, but I was able to continue. "safemode" means that all settings are set to low, and directx 9 is used (usually I use directx 11).
Currently, I'm running MSI Afterburner and here are the stats:

Is this normal? Almost 100% gpu usage...
Of course, I've ran:
- memtest, for several iterations, 0 errors
- checked disk for bad sectors, none (new disk)
- 3dmark, no freezing
- reverted drivers all the way to 314 (I can't even start the game with these drivers)
- formatted windows (several times)
- installed game anew
- ran all sorts of tests with OCCTPT
I'm really, really losing my mind here. I don't think it's a hardware error, computer being new and these tests didn't show anything.
Another additional thing, don't know if related, but still worth mentioning: EACH and EVERY TIME I close VLC 64 bit, I get an error. I didn't notice anything, since VLC player doesn't shut down or freeze or anything. It works OK, but when I check event log, here's the thing:

This happens everytime, without exceptions, when I CLOSE the 64 bit VLC player. Interestingly enough, the 32 bit version does not cause any errors or troubles AT ALL.
Same exception code as max payne 3 when crashing. Interesting...

Yes I believe it so, will check the version again though.
Also, how could bios updates (or lack of) cause the nvlddmkm to stop responding?

Seems the only thing left that you haven't tried
You say its not likely to be a hardware problem because it's new, makes no difference how new things are, they can still be faulty, and as you have reinstalled windows and drivers multiple times....
Have you tried giving the GPU some extra vCore ?

Oh boy the infamous "nvlddmkm" error.
My friend is experiencing the same thing with 570. Random freezes and stuff.
He lost hope, hes getting a 970 next week.

Yes I agree, that's why I've ran many tests and excluding hardware was done also because these tests came back "clean" - no errors.
I haven't been chaning core voltage yet, what would be an appropriate value for 650 ti?

I feel exactly the same, but the funny thing is, I changed some hardware but kept the same GPU and now these errors.. before it wasn't like that at all. Odd.

to adjust the time out error
edit: yes it works for win8 also.

Yeah I found this in my countless hours of finding a solution, however, I disregarded it as a "not a windows 8(.1) solution".
This "fix" program changes the values in register, correct?
Will give it a try for sure.
Thanks!
Any suggestions, still? I'd like to have as many options as possible.

Why dont you listen Extraordinary and download a MSI AB bump a little vCore and see what happens? Maybe GPU needs little more voltage.

i actually found that in a win8 forum
i'd suggest you consider the manual method so if it continues you can change the values back.

another piece of detail: my 650 ti is "OC edition", meaning that it's factory overclocked. Could this be causing issues?

I actually have a very similar problem, where my game will similarly have its image freeze, but sounds that were playing at the time continue normally (i.e. Ambient noise continues to loop properly, last playing sound effects play through, etc.) One time I had this happen, minimized my game, opened up a new copy of it, and ended up with separate instances of the same game where one was running perfectly and the other was just a frozen screenshot of that same game from a couple minutes ago.
Much like you, I did a crapton of tests and found absolutely no evidence to show that my GPU, CPU, Hard Drive, Memory, or anything were failing. Max temperatures well in safe ranges for everything, but still freezing.
That all said, despite the problem recurring regularly, I only ever got a single "nvlddmkm" error recorded in my event log, and this was when I was using a superclocked card. After I bought a replacement standard-clock 770, the frequency of the freezes dropped drastically - they still happen now and again, but extremely rarely. Enough to make me a neurotic wreck, but that's maybe more my fault than the computer's. Still not sure why the exact same thing is happening, and still the event center only recorded that one specific error.
What version of drivers are you using? From what I've read on it all it's really seeming to me like it might be related to NVidia drivers in some way. Running on 340.52 drivers for a while, there were frequent situations where, upon doing things like accessing new areas of map or just opening/closing menu screens a lot, the game's FPS would spike for a second before returning to normal. Likewise, freezes were a lot more frequent on this driver. I rolled back to 337.88, and the number of lag spikes or full-freezes I got dropped dramatically. In case I don't get any more help for my issues I'll probably try out 331.93 drivers; apparently those should be even better for timeout, from what I've been told.
Good luck, though. This definitely sounds like what I'm suffering from as well, and I hope you can find the solution!

Thank bluhman for your side of the story.
There are several things that are related, however, my issue seems to be more straightforward, I keep getting the "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered." warnings.
I'm wondering, is this a software issue and if I'd still experience it with different GPU, or is this somewhat related to the hardware as well?

I reinstalled it several times (clean uninstall in safe mode etc.), I always install JUST THE DRIVERS, nothing else. Thanks anyway!

Add +10 to start, test, if it still does it or not as much, add another +5, keep trying to say +25 - that should be enough to know if it's a vCore issue
Make sure to hit "Apply"

Thanks for your help, I'm setting it now and testing it in the coming days.
I'm just wondering, could the vCore issues cause that sometimes I can play with no problems for hours, and other times it freezes just after 15 minutes? It seems pretty random.

Yep, when it takes short times to really long times, it means you just need a tad more voltage, but i would start off with +25 on the slider, see if it helps.
