Help understanding my GPU Z Log. Plz and thankyou.

[00zim00]

Is someone here able to help me make sense of my GPU Z log?

My GPU sometimes randomly seems to crash, but im not getting any errors so it was suggested to log it happening with GPU Z. When it happens my screens turn off for a second, i hear a "disconnected" sound that windows makes when you unplug something, then everything turns back on like nothings wrong. Except now if watching a video, the video screen is now green and i need to refresh the page. Although the audio does play continuously without change.

I cant tell if its my monitors, or if its my GPU or something else.

The last time it happen was around 620 pm, if that helps narrow it down in the log. I had it running all afternoon without an issue until that time, so I ended logging it.

This period seems should be when the problem occurred, the GPU load suddenly drops to 0 for 7 seconds, but I don't see any other problems with the log.

Thanks for the look and fast reply. I was just now checking the event viewer log and found this error come up at the time off the issue. Not sure if that shines light on anything.

Edit: wait, I have a 64bit system. Should that say 64 bit? O.O

I just googled that and it seems others have encountered the same issue, you should probably try some of the solutions in this thread:

RTX 3090 - Periodic black screen for a few seconds. Display driver nvlddmkm stopped respon - EVGA Forums

I've had my EVGA 3090 FTW3 Ultra installed for about 3 days now, and ive noticed about 8 or 9 times, while at desktop, in battle net launcher, or browsing, that the screen will go black for a few seconds, the fans will spin up on the card, and then it will return. It gives an error event id 4101...

Ohh thank you. I will check into it

 

[elghinnarisa]

Check Event viewer for potentially logged events around the time it occurred.

I dont see anything else than related to GPU

Have attached the event proceeding and the two during the time of the issue.
You might make more sense of it then me. lol

DistributedCOM errors can be neglected.
nvlddmmkm issue seems is rather Windows related than Nvidia related:

Ah yes, the elusive 4101: nvlddmkm stopped responding.
It can be anything from the moon being in the wrong place to you farting when you enter the room. No but really its very generic, I had it many times on and off over the years and I have never solved it in a way I feel comfortable with calling it "solved", since it has always been different.
Once it was a reinstallation of fresh drivers, another time it was a classic unplug and replug the GPU power cables and once all I did was move it to another computer for a week, to try it there, and it never occurred again.

ever used DDU and reinstalled the drivers?

Can you try another, known as working GPU in the same PC?
Also, a good idea to check on a 2nd PC, if you get same issues with same GPU.
If so, GPU is likely faulty.

IF GPU is the one listed in your specs, Gigabyte Radeon R9 290 Windforce 4GB, then this is a fairly old generation.
So, if it is starting to fail that would not be unexpected.

I did in fact just do that now in safe mode and reinstalled the newest driver. I also changed to power mode to maximum Performance because apparently that can be a issue. Guess time will tell if that helps at all.

Sadly im pretty much the only PC owner i know. All my friends are console or laptop so its kinda hard to test in another machine.

The specs are my old specs from like.. my last computer years ago. ill update that now.

Intel Core i7 8700K
MSI GeForce RTX 2060 Gaming Z 6GB
Intel 660p Series M.2 NVMe SSD 1TB
Team T-Force TUF Gaming Alliance 3000MHz 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4
MSI Z370-A PRO Motherboard
Corsair Graphite 760T Full Tower Case Black
Corsair Hydro Series H150i Pro 360mm Liquid CPU Cooler

Im not suggesting a PSU problem, but exactly the PSU you didnt mentioned )

its a "Corsair TX850M 850W 80 Plus Gold Power Supply"

that literally just disables the 2D Mode and the GPU runs all the time at it's boost clock.
that does not help except in having high idle power consumption.

Oh gosh, hmm. i dont know. I was just following this post related to the issue.
