nvlddmkm.sys stopped responding blackscreen (Dark Souls 3, Overwatch)
I assume people can already see my system specs since I filled them in properly.
This is my first time here but it's been a while that I'm having this issue.
Basically in certain games (mentioned in title) when getting into the game world, sometimes the MOMENT I spawn in the game, sometimes soon after, sometimes after 1-2 hours my monitor will go black and say I have lost signal input. The computer is still working in the background, I can hear the warning sound from the error, the game of course will crash thanks to that so any sound from that is cut, but there is no application error on the event viewer, just the Display error. I have managed to shut windows down while my screen was black (blindly hit Alt+Tab and then WinKey + Right Arrow + Enter), so it's not a system wide freeze.
When this happens, display is unrecoverable until a reboot. My graphics card is still powered when this happens, plus a PSU issue would probably cause a shut down or a reboot (I have a BeQuiet! Straight Power 10 80plus Gold 600W, so it's good quality.)
I have already tried the various power settings (max performance etc) and they didn't solve it, I have tried underclocking (-100 Core, -100 Memory) and it didn't fix it. I tried 6 different Nvidia drivers and it didn't fix it (all clean installed with DDU). I even re-formated my PC and installed fresh, didn't fix it.
Currently sent my Graphics card back for a possible RMA, I attached a dump file I found in the WATCHDOG folder in windows, which was made the same day I got the display issue. Didn't know display crashes created dumps in there before.
