Good evening.

During the past hour, i have encountered a weird problem several times.

My screen goes black while playing Counterstrike 2.0 and, after a few seconds, the PC automatically restarts (without a BSOD).

When i re-enter Windows, i track the problem through Windows Reliability Monitor and the error codes are always the same:

BlueScreen 116 and LiveKernelEvent 141.

I'm also getting the following error descriptions:

0x116_TdrBCR:4:C000009A_Tdr:9_IMAGE_nvlddmkm.sys_Unknown

LKD_0x141_Tdr:6_IMAGE_nvlddmkm.sys_Unknown

LKD_0x1B8_NV_Blackscreen_Blackbox_dxgkrnl!DxgCreateLiveDumpWithDriverBlob

For the past 6 months or so, I've been playing Counterstrike several times every day and no issue has ever occurred.

Could somebody please help me figure out what's wrong?

Here are my rig specifications:
CPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900K 3.00 GHz
GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 5090 32G GAMING TRIO OC
Motherboard: ASRock Z790 PG Lightning

What BIOS version are you on for your motherboard?

How are you cooling your processor?

PC automatically restarts
A PC restarting automatically can happen mainly for one of two reasons;
1| an overheating issue
or
2| your PSU is incapable of delivering power to your components when taxed.

Use HWInfo to monitor your temps for both the CPU and GPU.

What driver version are you on for your motherboard?

sounds like a corrupt driver uninstall your nvidia drivers and reinstall.

It's Bios version 17.03

I'm using a liquid cooler and my temps during gaming are usually around 65°C for CPU and 58-59°C for GPU.
 
I will try it.

However, i have updated to the latest Nvidia driver since the first day of its release.

If it was corrupt, shouldn't the issue have manifested from day one?

not really drivers can corrupt for any reason.

counterstrike updates for example can cause a gpu driver to corrupt. windows etc and since nvidia drivers have been quite poor and as leaky as a dodgy sink.

Looks like you were right.

I used Display Driver Uninstaller and i did a clean installation of the latest Nvidia drivers.

No problems so far with Countestrike, or any other game.

Thanks for the help!
