A TDR has been Detected? ♥♥♥♥♥

[PyroPanda]

okay I have never in my life seen this message pop up and it's kinda getting annoying.

When playing wolfenstein the old blood It will crash sometimes with this message from Nvidia openGL.driver. stating " A TDR has been detected error code 7"

All I know is it has something to do with the GPU going over its limits or something like that??


Specs.
CPU: intel i5-4670k 4.5GHZ
GPU: EVGA GTX 970 FTW+
RAM: 8GB DDR3 2133 G.Skill sniper

TDR = Timeout Detection and Recovery, something Windows uses on the graphics card, to try detect if it's hanged and failed to send input to the monitor for a while. Windows then attempts to fix it but restarting the graphic card drivers.

Error code 7 = Lost connection signal.

Either the graphic card is overheating / overworked. The game itself has hanged/glitched and stopped sending information to the monitor. Or you have an issue with it's graphic card drivers stability.

First suggestion, go to: http://www.geforce.com/drivers

Download the latest Nvidia drivers from there and perform a full express / clean installation. Ensure Microsoft Windows hasn't used it's own drivers, a corrupted driver file or anything like that.

Also consider: http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3007

What resolution / quality are you attempting to run at? Turn it down slightly (such as the anti aliasing and/or other high graphic processing - Nvidia Hairworks, etc) and retest, does the issue still occur or not?

First try this simple work-around; it works for most TDR related issues:
http://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield_4/comments/1xzzn4/tdrdelay_10_fixed_my_crashes_since_last_patch/

If that alone does not help, try the following:
Uninstall all NVIDIA GPU Drivers (Forceware, PhysX, etc...) til all removed, may require more than one restart. After they are all removed, download latest NVIDIA GPU driver WHQL version. Install and run DDU[www.guru3d.com] and rid the system of NVIDIA drivers, reboot when they are cleared out. Then install the NVIDIA Drivers again, during that install, click Custom and select the "Perform Clean Install" box.

Did you get this fixed? I'm getting the same error code on a GTX 570.

A new GPU update fixed it for me. I just made sure to do a clean install of the new driver.
