This issue has a workaround that 'fixes' the problem for most users..
The issue is Micro$ofts default TDR setting. Basically (simplified) Microsoft ha
s determined that a program which hasn't responded in a given time should be res
tarted.
TDR stands for Timeout Detection and Recovery. This is a feature of the Windows
operating system which detects response problems from a graphics card, and recov
ers to a functional desktop by resetting the card. If the operating system does
not receive a response from a graphics card within a certain amount of time (def
ault is 2 seconds), the operating system resets the graphics card.
Increasing the default TDR setting to 8 seconds gives the graphics card longer t
o complete its task. How to do that:
Open registry editor..run > regedit > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlS
et\Control\GraphicsDrivers. In the box to the right you may or may not see TdrD
elay with a data value of (2). If you see that, double click and change the valu
e from (2) to (8). If you don't see TdrDelay...right click on a open space and c
reate a new Dword and name it TdrDelay . Double click that and set a value of 8.
I do not recommend using a 'tool' to reset this value.
Note: The computer must be rebooted after making this change.
