    ahh classic also turn off any GPU overclock or undervolt profile, including factory "OC mode" in the vendor app. A new driver can expose an undervolt that was only barely stable before.

    lol same thing happened to me check power before blaming the driver. A PSU thats borderline or a daisy-chained PCIe cable can cause exactly this under load. if its a desktop, use two separate PCIe power cables if the card has two connectors. hope that helps :)

    Accepted solution

    Some ppl raise TdrDelay in teh registry to hide this 🤷 i wouldnt start there: it just gives the GPU longer to hang and doesnt fix anything. Use it as a diagnostic at most, and remove it afterwards.

    @arjun_pixel Turned off teh factory OC profile and stayed on GeForce Graphics Driver 331.82 🤦 Stable now. The new driver must have been a little less forgiving of that profile.
