NVLDDMKM.SYS (Nvlddmkm.sys) Video Crash To Blue Screen

Technical Support
1

I still have not found a workaround yet for the nvlddmkm.sys error startup with the new Nvdia drivers launched in the past months.

Diablo IV seems to run fine on any patches before May starting up with only resolution trouble.

I was what I believed stuck on 1920 x 1024 screen res. But with some help here in the forums I was able to take the game to 1280 x 720 by changing the display screen. (Hopefully this will be fixed in future patches).

I can maybe partially blame myself on video errors as I have my processor overclocked with a Hurricane fan pointed at the back of my computer. It works.

Every other launch or so I get the startup blue screen crash with the code at the bottom pointing out the nvlddmkm.sys file name.

I have tried deleting, moving the file around, several folder issues to separate it from my computer to see what happens but it must be part of the software either Nvidia’s design per GPU or it could, very possibly be the new Windows 11 patch that was put out to Windows 10 machines. (My computer downloads the new 11 patch but says it can not install it. It is not compatible.)

Any input concerning this file, nvlddmkm.sys, is appreciated.

I hate having to reboot my computer every other time to play.

Other than that I get some rubber banding, char slide, and stuttering while in the towns . So I am thinking latency on that. Maybe cross communications? (Hard To Say). Overtime that crap usually gets straightened out by the labs.

Thanks for your reading.

Fun game Blizzard, I love the in game play with the incredibly fast reactions. Neat to play. Only thing is my eyes can’t follow some of it. I am sure some forum people asked for much crowd fighting in the game. Well they got it.

Cons to the ingame platinum system. I thought that was what Diablo Immortal was for.

D3 adventure, bounty mode is brilliant. Random dungeons is what we used to dream about in the early days of D&D. I hope other games will adopt that.

Thank you.

G"day - I’ve been getting the same problem with the NVLDDMKM.sys error as displayed in my event viewer. Has been happening since the release of D4. I too have tried a multitude of changes from reading other forum posts on gfx card crashes. I have set my gfx to medium, capped my frames to 130 and underclocked my card - Gigabyte Aorus 3070 - in MSI afterburner. Still some tweaking i think but this is the only thing that i have found to give me the longest play time between crashes (11 hours).

Try rolling back your video card drivers to its previous version. Also try updating your motherboard drivers.

If that doesn’t work. Unfortunately your video card is breathing it’s last breaths.

Yes that has been since the release of beta of DIV with updated Nvidia drivers.

Underclocking. I should have thought of that. Good one.

Did this actually help because i still have this issue, it tried installing the newest version of the nvdia that is 3 days old, the driver before that gave me the same issue.
i removed the shader cache, updated other drivers and windows nothing seems to make the issue better.
also changing the settings for game doesnt seem to help for me, i really enjoy the game but these crashes are really anoying.

i have a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 bit i dont know what i can do to make it better
