Hi All
I've been having an issue for a while with my PC crashing during gameplay where it crashes on mostly graphically demanding titles.
It's not a consistent crashing issue and happens only under instances (mostly when trying to write stuff to memory it seems).
Error: nvlddmkm
I'd like to know if anyone in the Durban area has a GPU I can possibly borrow to test on my current build and see if my GPU may be the culprit.
(See below for steps taken and background info)
Background info:
What I can recall is the issue started after I changed out the following:
Steps tried already:
Error being received:
I've managed to identify the issue using Event Viewer in windows to be nvlddmkm
This seems to point to an issue with the GPU trying to access memory while in game and it takes too long to respond leading to the driver being restarted.
This subsequently crashes the game I'm currently playing.
So far it's become a bit more consistent than it was a couple weeks back and happens more frequently in Forza Horizon 5.
Other games where it Occurred is:
Current System Specs:
Ryzen 7 5700x
2 x 8GB 3200MHz G.Skill F4-3200C16D
MSI B550 Gaming Carbon Wifi
MSI GTX 1070 8GB Quicksilver
Super Flower 850w Leadex III 8 Plus Gold
Sabrent Rocket 512GB PCI-E 3.0
WD Black 6TB
Montech King 95 Pro Case
Previous components:
Gigabyte B550m Aorus Pro
4 x 8GB 3200MHz G.Skill (2 separate kits of 2 x 8GB)
Phanteks P400A

- added 2 Memory modules (2 x 8GB kit)
- This kits were not from the same batch
- Changed motherboard (from previous to current system above)
Steps tried already:
- Tried format and clean install of Windows 11
- Tried DDU to remove GPU driver and clean install of GPU driver
- Removed a kit of RAM and running on 1 kit of 2 x 8GB sticks
- Tried both my original kit that had no issues
- Tried the newer kit purchased
- Bios updated to latest version
