GTX 1080 ti constant video_tdr_failure on newest drivers.

[doodlederper]

I installed the newest drivers for my 1080 ti a few weeks ago, and ever since, I’ve been having constant video_tdr_failures.
Usually they happen about 10-15 minutes after starting a game, and it always leads to a BSOD, and my video drivers cannot recover.

The BSOD mentions that is was because of “nvlddmkm.sys”, and when going directly into my “drivers folder in system32, it isn’t there. I did find it in another folder, however.

I’ve also noticed that while reinstalling drivers, the “nvidia container” almost always fails to install, although it says that the drivers had installed successfully.

Is there any fix to this, or am I going to have to wait for the next video driver update?
Or is it something with my hardware?

Edit:
I’ve tried to reinstall my drivers by deleting my drivers and GeForce experience with ddu, and then reinstalled them with GeForce experience.
I’ve actually done this about 10 Times now, which is why I came here.

That's a driver issue. Go into device manager>Display adapters>1080ti right click and uninstall device. For extra measure I'd uninstall geforce experience and redownload the installation/setup exe.

Whenver you update your graphics drivers, always select 'perform a clean installation'. It'll help you in the long run in preventing this.

That should fix it, but let us know how you get on.

Run command prompt (cmd) as administrator and type this chkdsk /f c: (or whatever drive your OS/graphics is installed on). If it asks to run on restart hit 'y' key then enter and restart your PC.

Seems there is a persistent setting or registry entry. DDU is supposed to solve that. I haven't ever used it. I don't see the need. I have CCleaner for registry, I can use Everything if I don't know where the file folder is and delete that manually.

As a last ditch I would completely reinstall Windows. It should allow you to keep your personal files and apps. Click Start and type Reset and tap enter.

I would then call your card's manufacturer if that didn't resolve it. If my EVGA 1080 Ti FTW3 Hybrid was causing a BSOD I would be on the phone with EVGA if I. along with this forum and other research, couldn't figure it out.

It could also be a possible hard drive or memory leak issue, which is why I'm walking him through this.
