Windows 10 BSOD VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE

[petals]

Is there by any chance this has something to do with my recent fps drop?
Note: The only time I get these failures is when I play GMOD, after I got this I noticed every Source game dropped its fps by at least 90+ FPS

Clean install the latest version of your GPU drivers.

Should the issue persist, if you have an Intel GPU accompanying your AMD / Nvidia, try disabling the Intel GPU and see if that does anything.

I already did clean install my GPU Drivers because I thought it was the problem in the first place but it wasn't, I'll try to do that in device manager, thanks in advanced

By "clean install" do you mean actually using a tool like Display Driver Uninstaller to FULLY uninstall all GPU drivers from safe mode and then rebooting and then only installing the latest update for your dedicated GPU ?

Are you sure you have all your device settings correct in your BIOS ?

Have you checked for any critical BIOS updates since you have Windows 10 now (if you upgraded to that OS for example) ?

Is your system fully supported to run Windows 10 ? Check the manufacturer's website for all the hardware and see if it is. Not just any computer can run Windows 10, as drivers need to exist for all the hardware.

Yes, that's what I did with my GPU,

Idk about that since I'm running a laptop.

Not yet

Yes, I've been running Windows 10 for a good amount of time without running into any errors until now.

By the way, ever since I played GMOD that was the first time I encountered this problem, but I haven't encountered it before.

I would suggest that you go into safe mode again, fully uninstall ALL display adapter drivers (not just your dedicated GPU drivers but all of them on that computer), reboot, and then make sure you have the latest driver for that GPU from the proper website.

Make sure you have your dediacted GPU as the one your computer is going to use set in your BIOS. If you did in fact change operating systems, I would highly suggest that you check all BIOS settings ASAP, as changing an operating system on a computer should be done with care, you see, and you need to check the manufacturer''s website for any updates that are necessary because of you now running Windows 10.

Just because you never had any problem until lately, may not mean anything. Don't assume anything and troubleshoot the problem carefully. Update everything, if needed and of course you only need to update your BIOS if it is absolutely necessary or critical because you have changed OS on that computer.

Maybe we should have asked by now, but what is that exact dedicated GPU please ?

I have an Nvidia GT740m 2GB GPU

Do I have to download all BIOS updates or should I just download the latest one?

Well, personally from that link you gave, I don't see any that are really critical or highly recommended, so maybe you just need to go into your current BIOS and check all your setting just to be sure you have the setting properly set to "dedicated graphics" or "discrete graphics" or whatever the terminology is for that motherboard BIOS. You want to make sure it is set to use the GT740m, you see.

Then, I would just do the safe mode uninstallation of all display drivers as suggested above, as well as what I further suggested. That is the first thing I would do in your case and I hope it can help you.

Thanks dude, I appreciate it, I'll try it as soon as possible

A question, how do I set it to dedicated graphics on bios? any links or pics or tutos?

[The Giving One]

Well, we don't yet know your exact specs (motherboard) so we cannot really answer that specifically. If you want to post more specs here, maybe we can help with that more.

Or, you can just maybe search youtube for your exact motherboard concerning BIOS settings and a tutorial maybe, you see.

EDIT..sorry, as long as your laptop has a pretty standard mobo, then you can just search using that info...

I reinstalled every dsplay driver with the use of DDU, although I didn't see any dedicated graphics options in BIOS, I did see a graphics configuration where the cache something was set to 64m, I set it to 512m, let's see how it goes

EDIT: Still 30 fps....crap....

[petals]

UPDATE: I forgot to tell, I think Source might be the culprit here. Any other game that doesn't use the Source Engine runs well, but every Source game suffered a massive FPS Drop.

I can run Metro Last Light Redux Maxed Out on 70 Fps, while my Counter-Strike:Source used to run in 200+ fps but now 50-100 fps, and CS:GO used to be 140+ fps now 30 fps.

Any Idea what's going on?

Don't you mean that you UNINSTALLED every display adapter using DDU ? You are supposed to be removing other drivers here as possibly conflicting with your dedicated GPU and then rebooting, and then installing the latest Nvidia display driver and Physix driver for your operating system and specific GPU model.

So again, UNINSTALL all dispaly adapter drivers.

Go to your control panel programs and features view and fully uninstall all Nvidia software, AMD display software, Intel dispaly software (any and all display software).

Reboot your computer into safe mode and then using DDU, fully UNINSTALL all display drivers or files than may be leftover. Just cleanly remove anything and everything display related.

Reboot into normal Windows, and INSTALL the latest driver for display and Physix from Nvidia. That is my personal suggestion for you to try.

About your BIOS settings, I would still think there would be a dedicated setting for your display device. I suggest you do more research into that setting in your BIOS and make sure it is set to use your dedicated GPU.

EDIT...Maybe it goes without saying here, but please make sure you are installing the proper driver from Nvidia and for Windows 10.
