TdrDelay does not solve the issue, this has been already tried by others. 
 
On the other hand, nvidia customer service just sent me this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3t2LeQN6SA
Now, here the issue does not look like our. But who knows, maybe it helps for someone.

 
i don’t think Nvidia understand that the forced black screen crashes are different from the chrome black screen, I wish it was just chrome because I only use my PC as a gaming computer so black screen chrome wouldn’t make any difference to me. Think there is another thread with that issue

Basically anything that uses hardware acceleration in idle causes black screens for a lot of people. Chrome, or browsers are just the most apparent ones from these, and the most widespread used.
The wallpaper engine crashes, lightroom crashes, adobe and other graphics programs crash also. And even games, that are low gpu usage, for example in the menus, we saw examples for crashing with this nvlddmkm error.
I know that nvidias suggestion seems irrelevant, i just pasted it here, so maybe it helps for someone.

Not having a go i looked at the Timmy Joe vid doesn't seem to be related to the windows complete crashing. Any thing that helps as it seems to be just us forum people that are trying to resolve this issue.

Did anyone try disabling windows defender smartscreen (app and local files setting) ? Since I disabled that I have not had a single black screen. Currently on the latest hot fix driver.

Instructions can be found here if anyone is unsure - https://www.tenforums.com...-web-windows-10-a.html

Will try it when i get my card, back but these are random and it took 15hours of game play before mine started, so i wouldn't mark it as solved just yet. Please update us on this though and if anyone else does this please feed back as i would rather not RMA another card and wait for ages to get a new one where the exact same issue is going to happen.

It is one of those bugs that makes you feel like pulling your hair out due to the amount of money spent. I actually had the browser freeze with my 2080ti but it would occure a couple of times a month, it become more common since installing the 3080 which I will say has been superb for games, not a single crash in cyberpunk and I been playing in 5-6h stints (nearly 50h in total) - this is after C9 firmware updates and latest drivers.

I do feel it's related to a bug in windows and it's impacting Nvidia drivers negatively.

Just a side note, when I had the browser freezes with the 2080ti the screen would be garbled before the reboot. After plenty of testing it turned out to be memory. Since I moved to 2 sticks of Patriot 3200 the freeze wouldn't be garbled. O originally had 4 sticks of Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB which proved unstable.

I've tried, unfortunately didn't solve the issue. Kind of a bummer since I'm running out of options. Spending almost all my free time attempting to get this fixed.

Tried disabling HAGS and Windows VRR ? Differnt display port on the card / monitor ? On my LG C9 HDMI port 1 always caused problems with signal dropouts.

HAGS already disabled as well as VRR. I'm going to try changing the PSU since it's a 750w and it has its years, from what I see there are some recommendations to use 850w instead of the 750w nvidia recommends. May as well try a 1000w but those are kinda expensive for a test. I would hate to change the PSU and wind up having the same issue, although it may be the best for the long term.

I ordered a new 1000w PSU and will let you guys know if this fixes it.

still experiencing this issue. i thought it might've been Nvidia frameview sdk but it wasn't. just to reiterate i'm having problems with hardware acceleration DISABLED both in chrome and firefox. happens randomly but usually during low usage. it's not the same problem as the one in that youtube video above. you can tell the GPU is disconnected by the fact that the OS gets all laggy and one of the monitors goes black. afterburner even says GPU is lost. i have a 144hz main and a 60hz secondary. maybe that seems to be a common theme among us. i'm going to try switching around the GPU ports but i doubt that would help. EVGA and Nvidia is trash for not even saying one thing about this.

Guys like you I’ve been pulling out my hair and I now look like fryer tuc! I came across a video and now I’m wondering if too much PCIE draw from the board is the issue? Here is the vid https://youtu.be/NFn-YiFQHsk ideally we need a good response from Evga directly as I trust Evga but my confidence in there Graphics card product is being eroded. And I’m in two minds to tell scan switch to a new product as I’ve lost faith in this one! And I would rather wait a month for a more expensive card ie ASU’s Rog Strix, I’m fed up paid so much waited so long and no official feed back from EVGA at all it’s like they have buried there head in the sand!!! i might be wrong with this conclusion but until some top bod comes on here and says otherwise and they know what the problem is I’ll chalk it down to hardware problem, so I’ll be looking at a new company, I’ve been Evga ever since my brother told me they where good but these problems requires an official response @Jacob Freeman where are you?!

Two things.
1. If the idle crashing in browser would have to do anything withe PCIE power draw, why isnt it crashing in games, when the power draw is multiple times bigger?
2. Not just EVGA cards are affected. I saw posts with nearly every other brand.

My Card was crashing in game CP2077, the only game that was played on the card and it only started doing it after 15 hours of play and that’s over 3 or 4 days. Now I was able to play CP2077 after repeatedly mounting and I mounting it then just pulled it out and left it for a hour as it completely dropped from the motherboard. Then it started working well able to play the game but soon exiting to desktop it crashed. Ive not got the time and inclination to be messing with a £1700 card.
 
I’ve only seen this with EVGA, I’ve searched ASUS and the crashing issues were the first ones with the high over boosting drivers. Unless you can provide a like? I would love it not to be a hardware thing and would love to have my EVGA card but man all I want to do is game and right about now I have no faith in the card and well Evga are not reassuring anymore about this issue.
