So i bought Acer nitro 5 model an515-57 for 3 years, every thing was smooth until the past week i got this error, the game ran smooth for about 5-15 mins, and then the screen went black for a seconds and the game crashed. It only happens during heavy game, for some less heavy game it ran without a problem. Here's things i've tried to fix the error:

+DDU my GPU driver and install latest driver

+Disable hardware accelerated GPU scheduling

+Add TdrDelay to registry editor

+Add full-controll to nvlddmkm.sys in Windows/System32

+Update my bios

+Reapplied thermal paste

+Stress Testing GPU with FurMark, the temp was good, around 85 Celicus

+Completely reinstalling Windows 11

Really tried almost every methods that can be found on the internet, cant solved the problems

Hey @william1112222 — sounds like your system might still be dealing with driver residue or a mismatch between GPU firmware and driver expectations.

🧼 Quick checklist to rule that out:

1. Run DDU again—but this time in Safe Mode. That ensures everything is stripped clean.
2. Let Windows Update handle the driver reinstall first. It usually picks the most stable version for your hardware.
3. Once stable, you can manually update via NVIDIA only if needed, and avoid jumping straight to game-ready versions unless you’ve tested stability.

Also, your TdrDelay tweak is a solid move, but if the driver isn’t playing nice at the core level, it’s just masking symptoms.

Let me know if you want steps for checking driver logs or doing a rollback to the last stable package.
