Hi all!
There is a possible workaround that we are investigating. The GPU crash may be related to microsoft’s Timeout Detection & Recovery(TDR) feature. You can find out more about it here: Timeout detection and recovery (TDR) - Windows drivers | Microsoft Learn
Basically, it detects if your GPU is hung up and if it passes a certain amount of time Windows will automatically reset the GPU resulting in the crash. This is done to prevent a freeze forcing a hard reboot of the system.
Sometimes you need to add a little more time for your GPU to process before Windows causes the reset. To do this you need to change the TDR delay.
I have two suggestion on how to do this you can do it manually yourself OR you can download a tool that will do it for you. However, I haven’t used the tool that much myself but it does appear to work. (Use at your own risk)
Method 1 (manually):
-
Go to the this link:
Testing and debugging TDR during driver development - Windows drivers | Microsoft Learn -
There you will find a section called TdrDelay it gives you all the information you need to create a registry key that will change the delay time
-
To open your registry open your start menu and type “run” once the window is open type “regedit” and hit OK
-
Now you should have Registry Editor open this is where you will use the info at the website I just linked.
-
First navigate the key path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers
-
Right click on GraphicsDrivers and go to new> DWORD (32 bit) value
-
You will see a new key appear make sure to name it “TdrDelay”
-
Right click it and select “modify”
-
Under Value data enter 10 (this is the number of seconds to delay) make sure you have Decimal selected as the base
-
Hit okay and restart your system
Method 2

Download TDR Manipulator
-
Run the application and change the TdrDelay value to 10
-
Restart system
Please Update this post if this solves your issue or if it has any effect at all. We need this information to get an idea of what is going on.
