video card error message, "nvlddmkm.sys has stopped responding and has recovered."

My computer has an nvidia 9800 gt. Since then, a week ago that I am unable to play a video game, or use windows media center. If I ever start a video game or windows media center the program crashes and I get the error message, "nvlddmkm.sys has stopped responding and has recovered." A few times, I get a message from the blue screen and the computer needs to restart. I reinstalled the drivers and even restored software from my computer to the original factory condition. A year ago I noticed my computer screen would get dark, as if I was wearing sunglasses. I want to restart my computer and the screen would be normal again. I was wondering if my video card burned to some, and if I need a new video card. The average temperature of my videocard 76 degrees Celsius, is 167 degrees Fahrenheit.

Hello

The best sources of information would be Nvidia Support, their documentation online and their
forums. Try to remove ANY power and reseating the cables (both ends, memory and cards
When possible) - in fact, remove and replace - do not just tight. Clean the dust bunnies
and vents. Make sure that the internal fans are working and trying to use a small fan to blow
directly into the inlet to see if that helps.

NVIDIA - drivers - use OPTION 1 to manually enter your info driver to get the most recent drivers.

  • AMD driver has stopped responding and successfully recovered

    Hi, I bought a new computer hp laptop (dv6-6024TX) and I always get the message "amd driver has stopped responding and successfully recovered" I don't get it when I alt tab of a graphic demanding game (Heroes Of Newerth).
    Record: core i7 2630qm
    4 GB of ram
    graphics ATI mobility radeon hd 6770
    700 GB HDD

    How can I solve this?

    OMG GUYS I THINK I FIXED IT!
    If you never play a high graphics demanding the game for example: Heroes of newerth/crysis 2, etc.
    change your windows theme to classic windows! It may seem ugly but who cares your cheek a game anyway.
    I read this off somewhere and I tested and so far no error! so happy, like my cell phone now:

  • SE error message: "nvlddmkm.sys not answer but recovered" and cannot access Starcraft II or LOTRO

    Original title: nvlddmkm.sys does not

    Just started having this couple weeks message. Killed or damaged at least one of my 9800 GT cards (SLI), which have been replaced under warranty. Who sets the part of the question of the display, but still cannot access to Starcraft II or LOTRO - connect and just get a black screen (have sound, no picture). Then the message "nvlddmkm.sys not answer but recovered" then nothing and having to use task Mgr to close the program. Here's the suspect: update the video driver (uninstalled old, clean install) which again helped a little but the screen remains black when entering the games. While they inspected the files, the file Nvidia\Displaydriver shows the new driver as the device Mgr when I check that. BUT then when I check the directory ofC:\windows\system32\drivers there is still an OLD version of nvlddmkm.sys. I'm sure that it is the culprit, but it won't let me delete it or rename it who were other corrections that I read about. I know that this is an endemic problem with Windows and has been for awhile now. ANY suggestions?

    Hi malomar,.

    1. This only happens when you play Starcraft II and LOTRO?

    You can try to uninstall and reinstall all the programs and features Nvidia drivers and Device Manager.

    Step 1:

    Uninstall the audio drivers from programs and features

    a. click on start

    b. type appwiz.cpl in the start search

    c. search for all driver packages, Nvidia, right click and uninstall.

    Step 2:

    Uninstall the drivers from Device Manager.

    a. click on start

    b. type devmgmt.msc in search, and then press enter

    c. in find Manager device for the device, right-click on it and select the option uninstall.

    After you remove the drivers of these two places, you can try to remove the NVIDIA folder and restart to see if that solves the problem after I installed the generic drivers.

    Step 3:

    To delete the folder:

    one. Click on start and Type C:\windows\system32\drivers folder in start search

    b. click on drivers and select nvlddmkm.sys

    c. right click and rename nvlddmkm.sys in nvlddmkm.sys.old. or delete.

    d. restart the computer and check.

    You can also check the manufacturer's website and download the latest drivers from Nvidia:

    I looked online and the reason is that my graphics driver is not up-to-date, however, because use custom drivers Toshiba I can't go to the website of intel and get the newest, I know that my only current is obsolete, but there are no new drivers on the Toshiba site. Help, please!

    Hi OzzyAmir,

    Can you post what model of laptop, you have, please?

    Usually not speaking, there s no problem to install other display drivers, but it happens on your own risk because the drivers are not pre-tested by Toshiba.

    Intel drivers, you can install through the Device Manager > update drivers if you click on the graphics card. Then, choose the Advanced installation and choose the directory of the driver.

  • display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and successfully recovered

    I have the latest nvidia drivers installed, dual-core amd athlon 64, nvidia 9800 gt grahpics, good power and cooling system, sufficient memory capacity.  stop crashing to this display while gaming, nvidia insist it is a problem with vista 64. everything else works fine. Please notify

    Try one of the older nVidia drivers.  Last year, 182 version was an everyone has liked the best.  Because I don't have any nVidia cards in any PC, I can't tell you what is the current favorite.  Also make sure your power supply is sufficient to keep the freshness of system and powered.

  • Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has recovered successfully after sleep, and then blue screen

    original title: display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has recovered successfully after sleep, then BSOD.

    Well, if not some time ago, we got a Nvidia GeForce 240GT video card. We used an ATI Radion 3460 I think and it worked normally. Then when we got the nVidia card, we started to see the problems. Occasionally, he would show the blue screen of death. I tried to reproduce the error and came to an interesting conclusion. Whenever I put the computer in sleep mode turn off mode 'sleep', I wait a bit and then the login screen appears. I connect and it shows me the "display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and was recovered successfully. Then after that, if I go on YouTube and try to watch a video, the computer hangs and a BSOD would leap upward. I am angry. I used "standby mode" so and with the new map video, everything got worse. I tested this problem on Windows Vista and 7. And btw, the drivers are up-to-date, I made sure the driver nvlddmkm himself file is up-to-date, and temperatures are perfect.

    update the drivers from NVIDIA. Also make sure that your power supply is powerful enough to handle the new nVIDIA card. "A programmer is just a tool that converts the caffeine in code" Deputy CLIP - http://www.winvistaside.de/

  • display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered

    So, about a week ago I checked the nVidia website to see if there was no news available drivers for my card (XFX GeForce 9600 GSO) and there was. Installiation was simple then a restart. After reboot, I thought that I would play Call of Duty 4 and after 5-10 minutes of play my screen goes black and it appears with a small warning sign in the region of noticfication "display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and was recovered successfully."

    The pc will be a blue screen with a nvlddmkm.sys error or it goes off and nothing will work
    forcing me to turn off by the power button. I had never met moyenessentiel before you install the latest drivers.
    After looking for some fix on google, I couldn't find
    something solid. So I opened the Device Manager and clicked on graphics cards
    and redeployed the pilot.
    Still no luck. Most of the games I played this error still appeared. I tried all the drivers on the nVidia site
    that are suitable for my card. The drivers on thecd also included witht that card and they do not seem to work either.
    I installed the drivers with Windows Live OneCare disabled, disabled UAC and nothing running
    in the background, such as recommended by nVidia. Still nothing works. I have the Sims 3, Call of Duty 4,
    Call of duty: World at War, Halo 2 for Vista and HAWX installed. The only one
    game I havn't had the error is H.A.W.X
    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium authentic with all latest updates from Windows Update.
    Any ideas? This leads me through the wall...

  • WOW/graphics error "display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and was retrieved successfully."

    Help, please. On the next computer I have terrible crash problems while playing WoW. Critical error WOW States: "not enough memory to process command - 11 538 bytes requested."

    When running 3D Mark Vantage I can reproduce the "display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and was recovered successfully.

    Processor Intel Core i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz
    Details of the component
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 graphics
    4 095 MB total graphics memory available graphic set
    Main hard drive 53GB free (140 GB Total)
    64 bit version with service PAC 2 Vista Ultamate

    Forums are full of posters indicating that it is a Vista / Nvidea incompatibility problem that has been around for years and that the problem is not treated. I tried everything I can think of, check the RAM to download new drivers, to the removal of unnecessary records of WOW. I reinstalled everything, run each diagnostic tool in the plane, patches downloaded, checked for the virus and still no help.

    I am currently able to play WOW on the smaller graphics settings and avoid cities. With this level of equipment, it's a shame, really, I should be able to do more.

    Did anyone have any suggestions of what I can do at this point?

    OK, I did a lot of research on this issue.  The problem lies in the Blizzard, most of the time.

    World of Warcraft is a set of 32 bits.  Because it is strictly 32 bit, it only has access to 2 gigabytes of memory.  Windows manages the other 2 giga of addressable space.

    Most of the developers of games flag their games before the compile time to use larger amounts of memory.  Blizzard doesn't do this, because their anti-cheat system and third-party tools rely on the 32-bit addressing and address 64-bit would mean that they must all be rewritten.

    What happens in the game, is that your footprint large capacity memory card is mapped in the game.  In general, it is when your settings are high, because it uses the most memory, which explains why the game is playable when you use minimal settings.  Given that the configuration of your particular graphics card uses close to 2 gig of RAM itself, quickly force you the game short of memory addressable space.

    To resolve this problem, you may be able to play with reduced settings.  Reduce your resolution is usually the best way to limit the use of memory, since it increases exponential use RAM when you increase the resolution.  You might have to play with different parameters.  You can open the upward Task Manager and monitor the use of your memory WoW game to see where the sweet spot is maintaining your memory under control.

    Blizzard will have to make the difficult choice to eventually allow access extended memory.  More people are buying equipment like yours, this problem will be more widespread.

  • Pavilion 6154ea: Radeon display error - display driver stopped responding and has recovered

    Received a UN expected error in the web search, actully screen off for a few seconds before receiving an error on the display driver stopped responding and recovery.

    Took a glance in the peripheral section where the 2nd adapter displays without any sign of error.

    After recently installing a new SDS moving from the HARD drive, reinstall windows 7 etc via the updates and the order to make recovery disc the laptop because I used receive a blue screen error frequently, so that the display driver does not not error occasionally when using the design programs.  Therefore assumed, needed a new HDD/SSD and factory restore.

    -Laptop computer has been cleaned withdrawal because keyboard, frame etc. with solvents as a cleaner. Therefore cannot be over heating the fan works hard to due and SSD.

    -Power supply has been connected to the time

    N ' was not overclocked as it is when using disk HARD aswell

    It wasn't until today where it happened again, without the blue screen though. So decided I would look at him and realized it is a common problem with the ATI drivers, when I assumed it was a HARD drive failure all along.

    This time the screen turned off for a few seconds, more then previously which is a little disturbing. Was only using a search engine with no program in the background. Infact havn't got round to reinstall files and software so the laptop is very clean and basic and works so don't know why I feel this fast.

    Need to know your opinion on this please, may not know... (Radeon HD 6490M)

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question in the subject of your HP Pavilion dv7-6154ea Entertainment Notebook and problems with the display driver stopped responding. I recommend to restore the default BIOS settings. You could restore the BIOS with this document by selecting the reload the default BIOS settings. This resets the hardware parameters and contributed to others.

    Have you noticed that the 'settings' option is disabled, if you right click on the video?

    Well, first you do is to wait for one of the small video spots to start on the same screen, right click on that and uncheck the box that says something like "enable hardware acceleration".

    And voila! -who should fix it. If this isn't the case, I'm sorry and good luck with your search for a solution!

    Hello

    What you see is called the TDR (time display and recovery) process in action.

    This component is designed to prevent damage to the computer when the video device is nearby to crash the system. In earlier versions of windows when the display device ran out of resources throughout the system would stop responding, requiring a hard reboot to recover.

    In Windows 7, if the display device is not responding, the system will try to stop and restart the device to recover.

    More information on this feature can be found here (Advanced): http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg487368.aspx (written for Vista, but also applies to Windows 7)

    The most common reason for this problem is that the display device is overloaded or used beyond its capabilities.

    When this situation occurs, windows tries to recover by restarting the display device. If she can't get it back, you will see the blue screen.

    This happens more often when you play graphics intensive, but can occur with any process that uses a large amount of graphic resources, for example, when editing or creating videos.

    What you can do to avoid these problems:

    Make sure that you use the latest graphics device driver.

    Manage your work time with programs that are graphic-intensive, quit other programs that might also use a large amount of resources.
