Hi all.
My pc has started just resetting on its own
Analysis of.the dump file gives the cause as nvlddmkm.sys.
I have restarted the pc in safe mode and uninstalled the gpu drivers and cleaned up using the ddd utility.
Then after a reboot installed the drivers again. I've done this a few times now. But the pc is still restarting when playing 3d games. I've also reseated the gpu.
Any ideas?

Windows 11 Installation

If you are upgrading from Windows 10, you may need to enable TPM and Secure Boot in order to proceed with the Windows 11 installation - please follow the TPM & Secure Boot guide below first.

:warning: When reinstalling Windows, you will lose any files which are not backed up to the cloud or an external drive - please ensure any files you would like to keep are backed up before continuing.

:one: Click the button below and download the 'Create Windows 11 Installation Media' tool.
:two: Follow through the installation tool, and choose 'USB flash drive' when prompted. Your USB flash drive must be 8GB or greater.
:three: Once the tool has finished, shut down the PC you're installing Windows on and insert the USB drive.
:four: Next, repeatedly press the following key while your PC is turning on, depending on your motherboard:
rog ASUS/ROG: F8
aorus Aorus/Gigabyte: F12
msi asrock cp MSI/ASRock/Cyberpower: F11
Then choose your USB drive from the list to boot from it.
:five: Follow through the installation tool. When it asks for your product key, click Skip - your PC will automatically reactivate. Make sure to select the same Windows version as you ordered with your PC, then choose a Custom installation.
:six: Select the drive in which you would like to install Windows on (you will want to install Windows on your SSD, this is typically a smaller drive), delete any partitions which already exist and then select Drive # Unallocated Space, and click Next.
:seven: Once your PC restarts, you will be taken to the first-time setup screen, where you can setup your user account and preferences.

Had one of these yesterday, they are NOT consistent so it probably isn't my GPU going to shambles.

#

I think a fresh install might solve that

#

Your case might vary though

Did try an older version, but still didnt have it. Will be re-installing windows later.

I'm probably not having the same issue, only happened once for me, yesterday.
