Dodgy Graphics Card? [Nope, not solved]

[Magos Flibble]

Edit 11/04: Nope. Not solved. fml

Edit 14/04: Extra info

EDIT:26/04 - So I ♥♥♥♥ed up. The crashing started AFTER I installed Windows 10. I built the PC, cloned my old win7 PC onto the new SSD and ran it from there. A few days later I upgraded to Windows 10, then the crashing began.

Original Post:

Got new card (A Gigabyte GTX 1070) on Christmas. Installed it along with whole new fresh parts and new OS.

From the beginning I've been having crashes in certain games. Most commonly in:
Resident Evil 7
Resident Evil 2 2019
Resident Evil 3 2020
Resident Evil Resistance.

Other games include:
R6 Siege
Dead Space 1/2
Left 4 Dead 2
Hellblade: Senuas Sacrifice
Killing Floor 2
Mafia II
Payday 2
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided


The crashes occur regardless of whether I run them in DX11/DX12

I can get about an hour of pretty flawless gameplay before the game crashes. I get a window pop up like this[cdn.discordapp.com] Never had a BSOD.
When I check event viewer, I get:

The description for Event ID 13 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event:

\Device\Video3
Graphics Exception: ESR 0x404490=0x80000001

The message resource is present but the message was not found in the message table

The Graphics exception is always different.

I'd like to re-iterate that I have never ever encountered a blue screen of death. When any games crash, the game will freeze, the audio stops and I'll get a win10 sound notification. Not sure exactly what sound it is. I will hit home and usually see that a new window has appeared in the start bar but I cannot interact with anything until I Ctrl+Alt+Del. The error window then appears over the Ctrl+Alt+Del Screen. the GetDeviceRe-etc. Click ok, game exe ends and thats it

I have tried the following:
Verified caches (Multiple times)
Updating OS/Drivers (Multiple times)
Reinstalling Drivers (Multiple times)
Updating BIOS (x2)
Re-seating Graphics Cards and Ram (x4)
Stress tested RAM - no issues (x2)
Adjusting Power settings (x3)
Under/Overclocked GPU (x2)
Ran the games in compatibility modes (1x)
Ran games on lowest settings (Constant)
Increased page file (2x)
Adjusted RAM speeds from BIOS (Multiple times)
Monitored temps. CPU rarely goes above 50. GPU rarely goes above 80
Turned off Win 10 "Gaming Mode"
Removed Anti-Virus (Used Kaspersky, no issues on previous build)
Used DDU and reinstalled drivers (Multiple times)
Used DDU and installed older drivers (Multiple times)
Stress tested GPU/CPU at the same time (1x)
Removed Configs (1x)
Wiped PC Clean and reinstalled Windows
Wiped PC Clean and reinstalled Windows while D'CD from the net.
Swapped out card to a GTX 980 (Crash still occurs)
Changed PCI-E cables (1x)
Moved install locations of games from one drive to another (1x)
Replaced PSU + Cables
Changed storage device cables
Installed year old graphics drivers
Uninstalled Ansel / 3D vision
Used IObit
Used benchmark tools "Heaven, Furmark, UserBenchmark, Superposition, 3Dmark, Cinebench" (No errors, glitches or crashes)

Oki-doke. PSU arrived. Gonna give it a whirl and hope these problems end.

[[☥] - CJ -]

Hope it works because i really dont think the GPU was at fault.

Which PSU did you get?

[Magos Flibble]

Corsair RM 750x

So far, so good.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha

DDU in safe mode and reboot
When installing the driver -
Driver only
Custom install
Deselect everything but PhysX
Reboot to be safe

Go into the NVIDIA CP and turn off the Shader Cache hit Apply
Test your games

The only options i get in custom are “Graphics Drivers” and “HD audio Driver”. No option relating to PhysX.

Oh and also “Perform Clean Installation” check box.

PhysX is at the bottom of the list
are you sure you're installing the right driver package?

and Clean Installation only defaults the NVIDIA CP options, so technically it isnt a "clean install" as most people would think

OOOh waittt
If you didnt select enable DDU to remove PhysX in its settings that may be why, it wasnt uninstalled.

BooteD it up and PhysX was already ticked along with 3DTV and GFE

Not sure if this was said already (I have no time to read lmao) but tr to reinstall steam and the ames. It might take some time but this might be the solution

That was done when I wiped my PC and started from scratch.

I'm skeptical of posting this because, as per usual, as soon as I do I start crashing again.

Was doing more searching around the net and came across a thread telling people to install a program called "AIO 210". It downloads programs that I guess were missing from my PC. Sounds dodgy, I know. But since then, I haven't had a single crash.

Things installed were the likes of....

Microsoft Visual C++ 20XX Redistributables (A bunch of those)
MS Silverlight
MS .NET Framework
Java
Adobe Flash/Shockwabe players

Since then I've been running all the crashy games with no problems. I'll continue to fiddle around and see if the problem is solved or I'm just getting really lucky.

Soon as I enable DX12, I crash and then the regular crashing starts all over again. wtf?

Never enabling DX12 again.

Never enabling DX12 again.

I use DX12 whenever available with my GTX1070 and no problems.

If you do another win 10 clean install try just loading bare min programs ie drivers and drivers no weirdass ♥♥♥♥ and see if you can get your nvidia gpus working.

Driver Booster from iObit is more trustworthy when it comes to that kind of stuff, it doesnt just give you the option for "common sense" type stuff but actually important drivers. Since youve tried other stuff you may as well give that a try as well.. Just be sure to ignore the NVIDIA drivers and the NVIDIA Sound drivers as they arent needed.


So a recent thread came to mind
Are you using an HDMI or DP cable?
I was reminded that a faulty or loose cable can cause crashing and the like as well
Just something to think about
