Question 6 Months, 3 Geforce cards with NVLDDMKM error, anyone help?

[solaaaaaa]

Hello, in the past 3 months, I have had 3 GPU's that all within the span of a couple weeks-months start crashing in all 3D applications, citing rendering device lost, checking event viewer says

"The description for Event ID 0 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 Error occurred on GPUID: b00 The message resource is present but the message was not found in the message table"

This started when I bought a used 3080 and a MSI a1000g PSU to power and it lasted 3 weeks before this error occurred.

Another weird thing is swapping in my 1070 presents no issues and runs perfectly fine.

Things I've tried:
Going into the registry and changing the TdrDelay to a higher number.
Reinstalling Windows
New Graphics Cards
DDU Clean Install of new and old drivers
Undervolting

Can anyone help? I don't want the newest GPU to be corrupted if that's whats happening.

Out of interest, what were the other two graphics cards and were they second hand as well?

1070 working without issue rules out power supply, so can assume you were unlucky those other three times. I can't see anything else wrong.

full system spec?

Maybe a sign it’s time to go amd?


Full system specs would be helpful. Wondering if maybe a power supply is doing the cards in.

Thanks for replying!

3080ti and 3090ti which were Refurbished RMA's from MSi.

being refurbished seems like it was the issue.. they got sent back. rebuilt prolly just repasted then sold in original packaging without sorting out their original problem to why they were sent back.. if the 1070 is working fine now, then it seems like the MB and CPU are fine.

Are you plugging directly into the motherboard or using a riser cable?

Either way you could try manually switching the primary PCIe slot to 3.0 to see if that makes any difference.
