Is nvddlmkm sys error or tdr video failure gpu card problem or gpu driver cause?

Usually is driver or software related. It could be cause by outdated or corrupted drivers or a version of Windows, etc.
It could also happen if a GPU is overclocked

Gpu is not oc manualy ..it has no problem before..version of windows meaning old or lates version could cause it?

 

[jojesa]

It could be an older version or newer version that somehow it is incompatible with the version of the nvddlmkm.sys file.
If Windows is causing the issue, it could repaired by running the SFC and DISM command.

In some instances a failing PSU could also trigger the error.

Have you make any recent changes to the system?
How old is the PSU?

Could you post your system specs or model.

It is possible that the nvddlmkm.sys error or a "tdr video failure" could be caused by a problem with the GPU (graphics processing unit) or the GPU driver. These types of errors can indicate that there is an issue with the GPU or the driver that is preventing the system from functioning properly.

Uninstalling drivers by regular methods might still leave old driver files behind.
Have you tried wiping all drives from the system using DDU?
