Community Manager@0mrcdfcfrpnk Thank you. So, the good news is that your system goes above what is needed. If you have two drives - SSED and HDD, make sure it is installed on the SSD.
The below info is pulled directly from your Windows Error Report:
- Display Driver Crashes (NVIDIA):
- Multiple references to the nvlddmkm.sys driver crashing, which indicates potential GPU driver instability.
- Application Crashes:
- explorer.exe and other system-level processes show errors, likely related to corrupted system files or software conflicts.
- USB Device Errors:
- Some connected USB devices have been flagged with communication issues, possibly due to outdated or incompatible drivers.
Troubleshooting Steps:
- Update NVIDIA Graphics Drivers:
- Visit the NVIDIA Driver Download Page to download and install the latest driver for the GTX 1660 SUPER.
- Use clean installation mode in NVIDIA's installer to ensure old driver remnants are removed.
Repair Corrupted System Files:
- Run the following commands in an elevated Command Prompt:
- cmd
- Copy code
- sfc /scannow
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
- Update USB Drivers:
- Use Device Manager to check for updates for USB controllers or specific flagged devices.
- Disconnect unused USB peripherals to reduce driver conflicts.
- Windows Update:
- Ensure Windows 11 is fully updated, as some errors could be resolved with cumulative updates.
- Check GPU Temperature:
- Use monitoring software (e.g., MSI Afterburner) to ensure the GPU isn’t overheating during gameplay, which might be causing the driver crashes.
Common Causes of nvlddmkm.sys Errors:
Spoiler
- Outdated or Corrupted Drivers:
- An old or improperly installed driver may cause instability.
- Overheating or Hardware Issues:
- If your GPU runs too hot or has failing hardware, it may cause driver failures.
- Driver Conflicts:
- Conflicts with other software, particularly applications that utilize DirectX or intensive graphics rendering.
- Windows Updates:
- Incompatible or missing updates can lead to crashes during GPU communication.
- Overclocking:
- Overclocked GPUs may become unstable, resulting in nvlddmkm.sys crashes.
