1. Press Windows key + R to open the Run dialog. Type 'eventvwr' and press Enter. In Event Viewer, go to Windows Logs → System. Look for errors with source 'Display' or 'nvlddmkm' (NVIDIA) or 'amdkmdag' (AMD). This tells you which driver is crashing, so you know which one to update.
2. Press Windows key + X and select Device Manager. Expand Display adapters, right-click your GPU, and select Properties. Go to the Driver tab and note the driver version. Then visit your GPU manufacturer's website (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel) to download the latest driver. Uninstall the current driver using Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) in Safe Mode for a clean install, then install the new one. This ensures no leftover files cause conflicts.
3. Press Windows key + I to open Settings. Go to System → Recovery → Advanced startup and click Restart now. After reboot, choose Troubleshoot → Advanced options → Startup Settings → Restart. Press 4 to boot into Safe Mode. In Safe Mode, run Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to completely remove the GPU driver. This eliminates any corrupted driver remnants.
4. Press Windows key + R, type 'temp' and press Enter. Delete all files in the Temp folder. Then type '%temp%' and delete those too. This clears temporary files that might interfere with driver installation.
5. If you have overclocked your GPU (using MSI Afterburner or similar), reset it to default clock speeds. Overclocking can cause instability. Also, check your GPU temperature using a tool like HWMonitor. If it's above 90°C, clean the dust from your PC case and ensure fans are working. Overheating is a common cause of TDR failures.
6. Press Windows key + R, type 'sfc /scannow' and press Enter. This scans and repairs corrupted system files. After it finishes, run 'DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth' in an elevated Command Prompt (right-click Start → Windows Terminal (Admin)). This fixes Windows system image issues that might affect driver stability.
