(Sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum)
So a while ago, I had to reinstall Windows 10 due to some issues, and while at the moment everything seemed to be working fine, there is one major issue I'm currently having. Whenever I run a game in fullscreen mode, the game usually works fine before a minute or 2 before the screen suddenly goes black (or white in some cases) and eventually crashes. I don't get a usual BSOD error, I instead have to manually restart the PC each time.
Looking through reliability history, it seems to be an issue with the nvlddmkm.sys and having a DPC Watchdog error. What's weird about this is that I tried using another GPU to see if the problems still occur, and after uninstalling the drivers (through DDU) and reinstalling, everything worked fine. So to confirm, I retested the main GPU once more, and after going through with uninstalling and reinstalling...everything worked fine. That is, it only worked fine for that single boot, as soon as I turned off the PC for the day and reboot it, the problem reoccurred. Unfortunately, I don't have a close by friend I can test the potentially faulty GPU on another system. PSU voltages seemed ok from what I've checked in BIOS (although that wasn't under load I assume so maybe it could be that?)
Let me know if there are any tests that can help with debugging this
And if this information also helps, I've tested this with a variety of different games, both old and new. Some games such as PAYDAY 2 and the new Modern Warfare (only in the sub menu's though like 'Multiplayer' 'Coop' etc), the screen will go black after about a minute or 2 in the main menu's. Other games like Project CARS 2 and Minecraft however, menu navigation is fine but it's only in actual gameplay, where the screen cuts to black after a minute or 2. One other weird thing is that testing City Car Driving simulator worked one I first tested it, but then stopped working the 2nd time I tested it (without making any changes and whatnot)
I've attached the info collection that they usually ask for over at Tenforums, if you need specific dumps then feel free to ask
