Hello everyone,
I have a PC with EVGA rtx 3070 ti graphics card. The PC has two identical SSDs. I do my backups by cloning my entire drive to the second SSD. So if the working SSD fails, the system boots from the second SSD.
Long story short, I'm on a Dev channel of the windows insider program. New Dev channel builds don't support Windows Mixed Reality, and I do have a WMR headset. So I have to do clean windows install to get out of the insider program and continue using my WMR headset. So I did a clean Win 11 install on one of the SSDs. The problem is my 3070 ti doesn't function properly with the new windows 11 install. Every few seconds I get a nvlddmkm error ("...nvlddmkm can not be found...") along with the display warning, "display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered." I have attached a picture of the event viewer showing the errors. This starts as soon as the Win 11 boots and the login window appears. Every few seconds the PC freezes. Then it works for a few seconds, then it freezes again ... This repeats constantly, which renders the PC unusable. I can somehow go into the device manager, rollback the driver to microsoft basic display adapter. With the basic display adapter the errors do not occur and I can use the computer.
So, I have two windows 11 bootable drives in my PC. In the old windows 11 (dev channel) the 3070 ti works without any issues. In the new windows 11 installation the system keeps freezing every few seconds due to this nvlddmkm display issue. So in terms of solutions, I tried many things without success. The ones that I remember are listed below:
Sorry for the long post. Thank you for any suggestions.

The ones that I remember are listed below:
- It can't be the BIOS, because the BIOS is identical for both win 11 installation
- Likewise, it can't be the RAM or PSU
- I thought maybe the drivers are the issue. But I tried the same driver version on the new win 11 and it did not make any difference (DDU, clean install, etc. makes not difference).
- I also tried plugging in the 3070 ti in a different PC (I have a second PC with RTX 3070), and the nvlddmkm error started happening in this PC as well
- Enable user permissions to full control nvlddmkm.sys did not help
- Changing TdrDelay did not help
- Disabling fast startup, it was not enabled in the first place so no help here
- Disabled Hardware Acceleration makes no difference
- Reducing core & memory clock did not help
