5090 gaming trio BSOD (nvlddmkm.sys error)
Anyone experiencing the nvlddmkm.sys issue? Everytime I try to load Netflix / prime video my PC crashed with this error.
Playing cyberpunk on a 4k 240hz OLED monitor with a VESA certified DP2.1 80GBs cable, DSC turned off, HDR on, GSYNC on. I have a secondary 1080p 144hz plugged in as a DP1.2. Game runs fine, same if I stress test or benchmark GPU having it pull 580w. GPU has no issue pulling max watts and running fine with games, but pulling under 100w loading Netflix homepage crashes the system?
So far I've tried fresh installing windows twice, disconnecting second monitor, disabling GSYNC+VSYNC, flashing every x870 tomahawk BIOS, updating 5090 VBIOS through MSI center, turning off PCiE power savings in power options, tried every single 5090 driver released by Nvidia first using DDU to uninstall AMD/INTEL/NVIDIA drivers in safemode with Ethernet unplugged, setting security rights/permissions to my windows Administrator account for the nvlddmkm.sys file; also changing file ownership to my windows account.
NOTHING seems to fix, is my GPU toasted? If so it'll be getting returned, I've been troubleshooting for 3 days now with no solve.
#EDIT
PROBLEM SOLVED
Turns out my PC was crashing solely because of the old style DP 1.2 cable from my second monitor. Moved my PC from floor to desk and used the shorter DP 2.1 cable included with my monitor for my main display, and used my Amazon order Silkland 80gbs DP 2.1 cable in the second monitor. System no longer crashes. It seems 50series has issues with backwards compatibility on older style DP cables.
For future readers, make sure every monitor plugged in uses a 2.1 version cable. Mismatching cable versions caused my nvlddmkm.sys BSOD
