    okay, this is driving me nuts... black screen, fans ramp up, and about five seconds later Windows comes back like nothing happened, then this pops up:

    USB Audio Device Properties

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

{Operation Failed}
The requested operation was unsuccessful.

    its always while running a 3D benchmark... my small form factor PC is not overclocked and temps look normal in teh vendor overlay, the only change i can point to is the GeForce/Ion Graphics Driver 257.15 Beta update from NVIDIA. ive already restarted a dozen times, obviously, is there a log somewhere that tells me what actually timed out, or am i stuck guessing?

    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. hope that helps :)

    day one patch is bigger than the actual game, classic

    been there man 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. worked for me anyway 🤷

    the real fix was the friends we made along the way

    wait what not every TDR is the driver. if the black screens continue on two different driver versions, I'd start testing the card and PSU instead of hopping versions. just my 2 cents

    @subnet_garage it was teh power cable. one daisy-chained cable on a hungry card. swapped to two separate cables and the small form factor PC hasnt blacked out since. lesson learned.
