Windows 10 and Nvidia issues....

[Clumppy]

I tried deleting DirectX but I don't know how to actually remove it. The C+ thing doesn't help me out if I don't know what it's actually called. lol

The other day when I was pissing around with it I actually saw the DirectX pop up about 4 secs before my monitor shut off but not sure what the error is saying since I can't see it.

This is the error that sits in my Event Viewer in Windows.


The description for Event ID 13 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event:

\Device\Video3
Variable String to Large

Microsoft C++ Redistribute is the program I couldnt remember.All games just about install this.
Then you need current DIrectX.
As for:
"The description for Event ID 13 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found"

That is a driver issue.nvlddmkm is a driver file.
You need to do a correct uninstall of your current driver as directions on Nvidias website.
Disable your anti-virus and Windows Defender just in case. Then reinstall.
Now if you are using Win10 Home version then Windows will auto download and install the drivers for you.But there could be an issue were you dont want to install that driver and want another version or whatever. If that is the case then you need this:

This might be useful for windows 10 Home users. I have not tried it but it for Nvidia users that have driver issues.
I'm going to try it since I do not like installing Nvidia drivers on release day,I like to wait a week or 2,anyone remember the driver that was melting GPU's a few years back...well thats why I wait now.

NVM,that tool was mostly useless.
But it is used to block troubled drivers for auto install
===================================================


I would still reinstall DirectX and Microsoft C++ Redistribute after the driver issue.
I have had your exact same error in the past on other versions of windows.
Sorry I forgot completely about event viewer,been sick this week with stomach virus....NO FUN AT ALL.

When you installed Win 10, it installs DX12 and is backwards compatible for all previous versions (9,10, 11, 11.!). Given the event viewer error, recommend trying a clean install of drivers through Geforce Experience (it gives option for clean install, if you select custom) or use a utility like DDU (Display Driver Uninstall) to remove all display drivers and then reinstall through GeForce Experience. (that procedure worked for me when I installed Win 10 and had video issue) Good Luck!

On the other game this had an issue with they were getting a Nvidia error but it was DirectX,not so much as backwards compatible type stuff,just something hosed up during the install.

I used the DDU setup a few days ago and reinstalled but still having the same issues. I shut off the update stuff (I think) so hopefully when I reinstall the drivers it will maybe work this time? we'll see.

[nervustwitch]

Are you using Pro or Home?

If using Home I think you will need that Microsoft app I linked above.
Im using whatever driver windows installed so far with my setup its been working fine.I would think it would be for you to with similar setup.

[Clumppy]

I have the stupid home version. Might try a reinstall and see if I can choose the Pro version. The second link you linked me says the page cannot be found?

I think I may have it fixed as I was actually in game for a few minutes with no issues.

What I did was turned my pc to high performance in the Control Panel > Power options and tried the game and it still got the error so I did a cold reset, took the side of my case off and pulled the power cables out of the card and left it off for 10 secs. Turned it back on and went into Windows like I normally would and opened up Precision X (as I need it open to run my fan speed on card) and this time I actually heard the fan kick on when I could move the % bar up.

So, I hopped into game and heard the fan actually kick on for the first time while I was in game and voila no crash while I was in there so obviously I was having heat issues. Just weird how all the other times I would have Precision X on it wouldn't do anything but after pulling the power cables out and plugging back in it some how works again?

Oh well, at least it's working for now.....(knock on wood)

[nervustwitch]

I used to have issues with Precision X not starting up with my PC.I think it was something to do with my G15 and the logitech software.
I would have to open task manager and end logitech profiler r whatever its called and then restart the software and precision X.Then my fan would work.I had this issue on Win7 and 8.1 but so far it hasnt happened on 10.
