Screen flicker > Event Viewer > Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered.

Hi Expert,

I am having a flicker issue on and off(not often) and sometimes when the pc sleep it's unable awake it, tried changing HDMI port, cable and Monitor still same.

In the event viewer, I found error: Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered.

I did research it's due to my GPU overclocked which I didn't, need to be on Nvidia reference clocks.

I am using GeForce GTX 1080, below are the specifications  https://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-1080/specifications

CUDA Cores
2560
Graphics Clock (MHz)
1607
Processor Clock (MHz)
1733
Graphics Performance
high-17362

Strangely no issue on gaming but it happens often in video and tubing, using Windows 10 pro.

I would like to check how can I check on my current GPU clock? Is it have to download 3rd party software? Also how can I adjust to Nvidia reference clocks?

Thanks!

Here's a page with a list of GPU over/underclocking utilities.  They're all pretty much the same except that some work on Radeon / AMD / ATI, and some work on Nvidia.  You'll need one that works on Nvidia.

I use MSI Afterburner but you pays your money and you takes your choice.

I would note, though, that if the card is having problems at the factory default speed then it probably has a hardware problem which is going to become worse as time goes on.
>>  sometimes when the pc sleep it's unable awake it  <<  that points to other problems imo
in event viewer, can you find anything that relates to it?
if not, turn sleep off -  for testing

In the event viewer, there is many different kinds of of error, all which I fail to understand or even google out.

Today first time getting BSOD, I have tried to unlock abit on my GPU and guess it getting worst. This happens upon a video on youtube, strangely when gaming no much issue, only once a while flicker, I notice it's more in video or music in Spotify.

Stress test a few times didn't found anything very strange, unable to understand that such power GPU giving all kinds of strange issues.

Thanks
post the dmp file here for more info plse
find it in windows\minidumps
Hi Nobus,

Thanks for the support and kindly refer to the DMP file.

Sorry that I don't understand how to read this DMPDMP-File.zip file.
please don't zip it, just attach it as it is
i fear you did something wrong - when i open it, it only contains another zip file???
Oh.. thanks
DMP-File.7z
that is also zipped?  extension = 7Z
Hi Nobus,

Thank for your kind support.

The only dmp file location I can find is under C:\Windows only, is it only when BSOD that will create dmp file every time pc encounter it?

I tried to attach that time but it does not seem to be able to select for the attachment so I zip it, I tried to unzip it's gone very strange.

Yesterday I tried to take out RAM and GPU and reseat it seem like hang gone and the flicker back.
>>  is it only when BSOD that will create dmp file every time pc encounter it?  << that's correct
ok check if it makes minidumps, here a how-to :  https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/5560-configure-windows-10-create-minidump-bsod.html
i Always copy the dmp file over to my documents, so i know where to find it
Thanks, Nobus

I notice I am getting a lot of this Error "The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
{2593F8B9-4EAF-457C-B68A-50F6B8EA6B54}
 and APPID" on the event viewer under system

Much stable after I reseat GPU and RAM, but getting the above often not sure what does that do.

Thanks!

Sorry just nice 2 years later since I logged this question lol, my bad.  I recall if not wrong is the hard disk turn off issue,  from power setting Advanced settings under hard disk>Turn off hard disk after > Setting > Never

Thanks
