How to Fix the Display Driver Error on Windows 10?
Depending on your specific computer, there are different ways that you can fix the display driver error on your Windows 10. There are a few things that you can do to fix this error, but first, you will need to determine what the problem is. If you are having trouble installing the drivers, you can try uninstalling the driver, increasing the TDR (Timeout Detection and Recovery) timeout, or even overheating your graphics card.
Overheating GPU may cause the error:
Having an overheating GPU can be a serious issue that can damage your computer. You should be able to avoid this problem by taking steps to keep your PC cool.
The first thing you should do is to ensure that your GPU is connected properly to your motherboard. Make sure that you are using a PCI-E 6-pin cable to connect your graphics card.
You may also need to check your cooling solution. If the GPU is not properly cooled, you may experience blue screens or other errors. In some cases, your GPU may shut down on its own. If this happens, you may need to look into a new cooling system.
You should also clean the dust that may be accumulating on your computer and video card. Dust can clog the GPU and computer fans and lead to a heat buildup. You should also remove any viruses and malware that may be on your computer.
Lastly, you should install the latest drivers. Updated drivers can help your GPU run more efficiently and decrease the amount of heat it creates. You can do this by visiting Window Updates. During this process, you can check for any outdated drivers.
You can also perform a stress test on your GPU to find out if it is running too hot. To do this, you can right-click on your video card and select properties. You can then click on the power settings tab to see the PCI Express and the link state power management settings.
Increase the TDR (Timeout Detection & Recovery) timeout for your GPU:
Increasing the TDR (Timeout Detection & Recovery) timeout for your GPU in Windows 10 is the easiest way to fix the problem of your computer’s graphics card failing to respond. The TDR is a feature of Windows that prevents your computer from hanging, freezing, or getting a blue screen of death. If your graphics card doesn’t respond to commands quickly, your CPU will send commands to the GPU and the CPU will restart the driver.
The most common reason for a failed video TDR is a display driver issue. Often, the problem can be fixed by updating the drivers. However, this can sometimes cause your system to overheat. If the problem is not resolved by updating the drivers, you may need to replace the hardware.
Using the Windows Registry to increase the TDR (Timeout Detection and Recovery) timeout for your GPU in Windows can be useful. The TdrDdiDelay registry key is located in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetControlGraphicsDrivers. You can find it by opening the Registry Editor.
The TdrDdiDelay value is set to a number of seconds, and the value should be in a case-sensitive format. This can be done by renaming the value with Enter or by typing the number into the Value data field.
Uninstall the display driver:
Using the Windows 10 Control Panel, you can uninstall the display driver. This can help solve most display problems. However, it’s important to back up the files that are installed in order to restore them should something go wrong.
The Control Panel can also be used to remove other software from your graphics card. You can find it in the Apps & Features menu. There are three-dot menus that contain “Uninstall”, “Clean & Shutdown” and “Rollback”.
When you use the Control Panel to uninstall a graphics card driver, it’s important to check that you don’t leave any leftovers. These leftover files can cause issues when you try to install new drivers.
If you notice that the system is running slow or experiencing other issues, it may be time to update the display driver. When a new version of the driver is available from the manufacturer’s website, you can download it and then install it.
If the display driver is not updated, your PC could become unstable or you might experience black screens. In these cases, you need to remove the driver and reinstall it. The first step in this process is to go to the Device Manager.
The Device Manager is a program that allows you to easily remove and update your drivers. It’s located in the Start menu. The tab, called Driver, shows devices by category, as well as a button that says “Uninstall.”
Once you find the graphics driver you want to remove, click the Uninstall button. When it’s finished, Windows will ask you to confirm that you want to remove the driver. Then, you’ll be asked to reboot.
