Error 436 on brand new valve index

[Soreth]

Until now I figured few things :
SteamVR tell me it out of date, if I log on my clean windows I no longer get this message
Error 436 only with nvidia drivers, until it's solved, I uninstall my nvidia driver to play ( not the best but it's better than nothing ) or I disable direct mode ( also not the best but faster than uninstalling each time )
So, since it looks like it's an nvidia issues I tried few versions but with no success :/

Windows update, SteamVR update, any firmware update?

[Soreth]

Windows, SteamVR, Steam, bios, nvidia, ... all components are up to date

they way you install the nvidia driver is important. make sure you uninstall all components and do a fresh clean install with all components. don't pick and choose. I had problems myself until I did the udpates and downgrades but complete not just a few checks here and there.

I uninstalled all nvidia components, then downloaded and installed the latest version. Is that what you mean ?

yes, also try in the developers section and remove all usb device drivers. unplug headset and replug see if this updates and fixes the issue.

Already done but don't work :/

Do you have a second computer or laptop that you own you can test this on?


Or do you see any errors in the Windows Reliability Monitor?


Or maybe this?:

Yeah, it's this error. But this fix don't work for me, now I no longer can use the headset even without directmode ...
Edit, after a full reboot I can use it again without directmode

Have you checked the Windows Reliability Monitor?

[Soreth]

I didn't, I found a livekernelevent error 144 listed as graphic card issue. But the fix is to update graphic card and mine is already up to date :/

As I already say, I made a fresh install, even a fresh windows installation, but problem still here :/

Try to start Windows in secure mode.
