Hi. I have 12900K stock

32 GB 2x16 GB DDR4 3600mhz

Palit Gamerock Pro OC rtx 4090

1300W Seasonic Platinum Prime

Aorus Elite DDR4 Z690

Windows 11 2H22. Updated new nvidia drivers.

I swapped from 3090 Ti Gigabyte Gaming to Rtx 4090 Palit Gamerock. Never had single crash in games,apps on 3090 ti. All was perfectly stable.
Today i plugged Rtx 4090 Palit Gamerock. It passed 3dmark tests. But after i downloaded Watch Dogs Legion it freezed on loading screen and crashed.
 

 
eventlog:

 
2 errors.

1.display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered


2.The description for Event ID 0 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.

The following information was included with the event:

\Device\Video3

Happened once i testing now Watch Dogs Legion no crashing again since. But why it crashed? On 3090 Ti i dont had a single crash,nothing.
Rma card now or just keep it ?


I checked 3dmark speed way,port royal,quake 2 rtx no crashing.Drivers are newest. Also my memory is 100% stable because with 3090 ti was fine all the time.
 
 

Don't worry about things that only occur once.

Both of your errors occurred at the same time. The driver just simply crashed for whatever reason. Don't worry about it unless it keeps happening.

It could be borderline stable, but if it truly was you'll get more crashes then just one once. That is why I said not to worry about it unless it keeps happening.

Someone said:"Palit cards are cheap for a reason - change my opinion "
 

So what he mean? Palit is bad and my card is faulty?

Dude, relax you had one random crash you can’t recreate. It’s not the end of the world and your card is more than likely fine if it doesn’t keep happening. As for Palit as a brand they are fine just people have biases for whatever reason towards particular brands. Palit cards mostly adhere to reference board spec designs from NVIDIA and they pass QC. They are by and large fine pay no mind to people trolling you or they are just jealous that you have a 4090 and they do not.

ok thx

Someone said:"I have to say a few words about this as I also had this issue (black screen and TDR error at idle) with an Asus Strix OC:

I am 100% sure, that this issue is at least partially related to the card hardware or the GPU itself for the following reasons:

I have returned the Asus Strix that I had this issue with and since then also had a Gigabyte Gaming OC as well as the NVidia FE in the very same PC and have not had this issue with the latter two cards at all, the setup being exactly the same otherwise. I had even tried the 12VHPWR adapter, that came with the Gigabyte card, with the Asus card to rule anything but the card out, but of course that didn't help for the Asus card.

I had tried dozens of things like you guys tried here in the thread, I tried with three different PSUs, I tried the card in two completely different PCs (AMD and Intel), with ReBAR on or off, with DOCP on or off. This is in my opinion all a waste of time. If you have this issue in idle, then you have a card that has an hardware issue and you probably better return or RMA it.

The only thing that "worked" for the Asus card was setting the power management mode to maximum performance, like many of you here have also experienced, which leads to the card consuming 60-70W in idle and constantly running at the boost clock rate instead of 210 MHz when idle.
I didn't need to set the Gigabyte card to maximum performance in order for it not to crash, nor do I have to do that for the 4090 FE.

Maybe this issue can be cured by a BIOS update or a driver update, but for sure the root cause is related to the card itself."
 
 
So it can be my card is faulty , if root cause is related to the card itself?

Did it happen again?
If not forget about it and enjoy the new computer. You seem to worry too much
Don’t worry be happy

happened once

You really need to relax man or maybe PC gaming just isn't for you. You are way too paranoid about seemingly nothing and returning 3 or 4 cards is ridiculous. Relax, these things can happen with PC gaming and sometimes games just crash for no reason. It doesn't mean you need to start RMAing every damn piece of hardware you own. Relax or just go get a Xbox or PS5 man, you just might not be suited for this. 

Oki you re right. All fine now. Thx for explanation. And sorry for many questions. We can close topic now.

It may not be your hardware at all. There are problems with win11 and playing games.
 
I would /format C: then /install win10 C: at see how well it goes.
 
Have another SSD laying around? Install win10 on it and see if it works better. 
Make sure it is the only drive in the system when you install W10

Check if the memory sticks are sitting properly or the CPU AIO block is not loose. By any chance are you using a stand for the GPU or special bracket to properly secure the GPU? Please double check
My other suggestion It might be temps. Are GPU fans profile Set up correctly?
Have you tried the new drivers?

I am gettin occassional crashing during loading games. Watch Dogs Legion ( happened 2 times ) and Metro Exodus EE. Never in game, but in loading . Happen from time to time. Is my card fine? I have PalitGamerock 4090 stock.
Here are always that 2 errors during crash:

It happened on 3 versions of drivers i tried.

so rma?

w11. It can happen when i am not loading game few hours and sitting on desktop. And on first launch after few hours i launch Watch Dogs LEGION or Metro  and it can crash driver, on loading . Then again its fine ,in game no issues etc. Is my card fine? 


Also no issues in benchmarks etc.

So its my card faulty? It can happen when my windows is sitting on desktop few hours and i start launch game <WD LEGION> and on loading screen it can crash driver. Next time is fine. No crash during game.

Since it is a palit GPU, your best bet is to call Palit
