video tdr failure, nvlddmkm.sys bsod

Every time I try to play a game, I get a blue screen of death after about 10 minutes. on the bsod, it says:

stop code: VIDEO TDR FAILURE

what failed: nvlddmkm.sys

I have tried so many things to resolve this issue, including factory resetting my pc. can anyone help me with this?

"nvlddmkm.sys" is an NVIDIA driver.

Are you using an app like NVIDIA Broadcaster? If so, please uninstall and test to see if the problem occurs.

Also uninstall the current graphics card driver using DDU tool, go to the nvidia website and search for the driver before the last one released, download and install it.

If the problem persists, it could be an issue with the GPU itself, as you have already done a factory reset as well.

The ideal would be to take it to a technical support center for testing or contact the manufacturer's support.
