Accepted solution by Malik — some ppl raise TdrDelay in teh registry to hide this. i wouldnt start there: it just gives teh GPU longer to hang and doesnt fix anything.…

    im literally losing my mind here three black screens tonight, all while running a 3D benchmark, the third time it didnt recover and i had to hold the power button.

    USB Audio Device Properties

Device status:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)

{Operation Failed}
The requested operation was unsuccessful.

    The gaming laptop is about two years old. i updated to GeForce GTX 980/GTX 970 Graphics Driver 344.16 because a game asked me to, and honestly i regret it. Ive read about TDR, DDU, rollback, registry tweaks, and now Im overwhelmed. Can smoeone give me a sane order to try things in so Im not changing five things at once? im about to throw this thing out the window lol

    ok so since it started right after the udpate, roll back first. Device Manager > Display adapters > right-click ur GPU > Properties > Driver > Roll Back Driver. If teh button is greyed out, download the previous package from the NVIDIA support page and instlal that instead.

    @mwalsh dude turned off the fcatory OC profile and stayed on GeForce GTX 980/GTX 970 Graphics Driver 344.16... stable now... the new driver must have been a little less forgiving of that profile. thank u thank u thank u
