Driver crashing while playing games

[vladavdj96]

Hello,

I have constant driver crashes while playing videogames (Red Dead Redamption 2, Apex Legends, Total War Warhammer 3...).

I have updated to latest Nvidia driver with GeForce Experience 528.24. When i check Event Viewer it says:

The description for Event ID 14 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\000000c7
0000(0000) 00000000 00000000

The message resource is present but the message was not found in the message table

Followed by:

Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered.

Can you, please, help me solve the issue

Ok, thank you. But that is only a fix for the Red Dead Redemption 2, can you help me solve the issue completely so it works in other games as well.

Hello @vladavdj96 

If you have valid <HP warranty> please contact HP Support. 

The NVidia driver from HP is too old which is the main problem ! With HP products it is not possible to install the latest driver from the graphics card manufacturer (NVIDIA or AMD). It is always necessary to use the driver provided by HP.

Kind regards

[vladavdj96]

Thank you, i will try.

Same issue, similar notebook, also omen 16.

Tried all:

- multiple windows edition

- multiple driver reinstalls (ddu and no ddu)

- bios and vbios reflashes

- registry tweaks

- msi afterburner downclocking

Etc...

What actually solved it for me:

Disable SAGV aka "System Agent Geyserville" in bios

Not sure if that's a recommended way, but it works for me.
