VIDEO_TDR_FAILURES after S3 sleep - Windows 7 x64

A few weeks on now. I'm completely clear of trouble so far. :-)

VIDEO_TDR_FAILURES after S3 sleep - Windows 7 x64

OK, here's the latest. I'm still mostly problem free but yesterday I had a recovered TDR - a single 117 live kernel report - while playing Civ 5 (which crashed the game) followed by series of 6 117 live kernel reports in quick succession 3 hours later, this time freezing the PC without a 116...

VIDEO_TDR_FAILURES after S3 sleep - Windows 7 x64

I'm a few days into my new PSU and case and no hint of trouble so far. I'm running with only basic peripherals so far, so it'll be interesting to see if the problem stays away when I start plugging everything back in. This said, the problem went away for a full month before, so I don't really...

VIDEO_TDR_FAILURES after S3 sleep - Windows 7 x64

Hmm, that just looks like the parameter being passed to the bugcheck routine so it can report where the driver was at when it failed to respond to CheckHwProgress. I was wondering if I could look at how the driver itself got to that point. I need to find some time to learn about the kernel...

VIDEO_TDR_FAILURES after S3 sleep - Windows 7 x64

It's the last crash I had from a week ago. Since then I had the freeze with the 117 with my old 260 card and the flickers without crashes or TDRs on my 670. No problems yet since I switched to my new case and PSU, but I also haven't had it in S3 sleep since then yet either. Like you say, I...

VIDEO_TDR_FAILURES after S3 sleep - Windows 7 x64

Ha, thanks. Well I didn't really give you the option since the minidumps I uploaded didn't have the memory in to read where the jmp was pointing to. Let me know if you want to get at the full kernel dump and I'll upload it somewhere and send you a link.

VIDEO_TDR_FAILURES after S3 sleep - Windows 7 x64

Aha, so that was the link I was missing. I presumed they all went in the same place. I guess the clue is in the directory name, "minidump". Looking at that file, it looks like I can now read things properly and I even have some export symbols for nvlddmkm. Looks like the pointer into the...

That's the odd thing: I thought I had complete kernel dumps. My options for bugcheck dumps seem to be "(none)", "Small memory dump (256 KB)" and "Kernel memory dump" which is the option I have selected. Off topics are welcome! Always keen to learn more. Thanks for the advice.

VIDEO_TDR_FAILURES after S3 sleep - Windows 7 x64

Sorry, I wasn't very clear, but I was talking about my earlier comment for the 116 bugcheck dumps, not the 117 live report dump. As you pointed out in your initial post, the pointer into the GPU driver is sitting at a jump instruction. That jump instruction is trying to get the memory address...

VIDEO_TDR_FAILURES after S3 sleep - Windows 7 x64

OK, here's the latest. I put my GTX 670 back in and had another go at at clean driver install. This time I rebooted the computer over and over and manually uninstalled every last driver that my OS had cached and then topped that off with a clean install from the latest NVidia driver; I found...

Yep, it just froze completely like usual with no response to input (including ctrl+alt+del) but this time it didn't write a minidump (and so presumably didn't bugcheck).

VIDEO_TDR_FAILURES after S3 sleep - Windows 7 x64

Hmm, I think everything is back on the table again. I had a crash just now with my old GTX 260 in the machine (which rules out the HD audio thing). Circumstances were a little different this time - no BSOD or minidump, just a total freeze up of the machine after I'd been gaming for a few...

VIDEO_TDR_FAILURES after S3 sleep - Windows 7 x64

Discovered something interesting: EVGA FAQ Help Center I say it's interesting because I have a TV connected to my GPU via HDMI that is usually off when I run my computer. My usage patterns could well fit in with my crashes (in particular, having the TV on when my computer went into S3 sleep...

VIDEO_TDR_FAILURES after S3 sleep - Windows 7 x64

I still wasn't convinced about this EVGA test result because of the way that all the artifacts appeared at the start of the test (and only one the one test type), so I put my old GTX 260 back in my machine and ran the test again. Same result, so now I'm very suspicious that the result is not...
