About this tag
TDR, or Timeout Detection and Recovery, is a Windows feature that detects when a display driver stops responding and attempts to recover. On WindowsForum.com, users frequently report TDR errors such as video_tdr_failure, video_scheduler_internal_error, and crashes involving nvlddmkm.sys or atikmdag.sys. Common triggers include gaming, running 3D benchmarks, turning monitors on/off, and driver updates. Troubleshooting steps discussed include updating or rolling back graphics drivers, removing conflicting software like Daemon Tools, testing in Safe Mode, and swapping video cards. Many threads involve NVIDIA and AMD GPUs, with users seeking help for persistent TDR crashes that may occur randomly or under specific conditions.

    Guys, this is ridiculous. I'm 100% positive this is NOT a hardware issue but at this point, it almost seems like getting a new computer entirely would fix this retarded issue.
