Rebooting after waking from sleep. Possibly GPU related

Hi there

The experts on this forum have been very helpful in the past in solving obscure Windows problems so I thought I'd ask another one:

I used to sleep my Win10 machine every night, but a while ago it stopped being able to wake from sleep and would instead wake up to a blank screen, sit for a minute or two and then reboot. I've tried various methods to investigate and fix it, but a solution has evaded me so far. Logs seem to suggest it is related to the GPU so I have uninstalled, deleted drivers, tried different versions of drivers, etc but nothing works.

In case anyone suggests it, changing GPU is currently not an option at the moment. So if this is the source of the problem and no other work around exists, I will have to live with it.

I have attached the logs from the log collector tool as well as the minidump file that seems most relevant to it (not sure if this is a duplicate or not)

Any advice would be appreciated.Attachment 262482Attachment 262483

Many thanks in advance!

Thanks for the quick reply!

It started happening...several months ago I think. It's been a while now.

I do always update the drivers when there are new ones yeah.

When it first started and I narrowed it down to the GPU, I did try rolling the drivers back a few versions like you suggested and that seemed to cure it. Temporarily.... But then it just started happening again without me having changed the driver version. And as I do a lot of gaming on this machine, keeping my drivers on an old version is sadly not really a long term solution.

I believe I had already tried your total uninstall and reinstall idea but I will try it again and let you know the results!

At the minute I am just shutting down every night but would prefer not to have to do this and keeping it on all night will ramp up the electricity bills too high even when on power saver.

Definitely after standby sleep (S3). Don't think I've ever tried hibernate....don't use it much on my desktop.

I've tried it before with short sleeps and yeah it still does it.

But I installed Nvidia's latest driver yesterday and hadn't tried sleeping it again since then until you suggested checking short sleeps.

And now it resumes from sleep fine....

I guess Nvidia fixed it....

Sorry to waste your time, folks!
