VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE

What it means

The graphics card stopped responding and Windows could not reset its driver.

Common causes

How to fix it

  1. Do a clean graphics driver install: remove the old one with DDU in Safe Mode, then install the latest.
  2. Undo any GPU overclock (MSI Afterburner: reset to default).
  3. Check GPU temperatures under load with HWiNFO; clean dust if it goes above 85 °C.
  4. Make sure the GPU power cables are firmly seated and not daisy-chained from one cable.
