"Video TDR Failure" Intermittent BSOD
I've had this problem for a couple of months now. Most often the BSOD gives the stop code VIDEO TDR FAILURE, from atikmpag.sys.
But I have gotten VIDEO SCHEDULER INTERNAL ERROR. And from ddkmd.sys.
I did think at one point that it was related to coming back from Hibernation or Sleep, but sometimes I get a BSOD when it's booted from a full shutdown. Often happens when I open a new graphics-intensive tab or have been watching a Youtube video for a few hours, things like that.
I have tried to use WinDBG, but it's just too low level for me to figure out on my own. Would love any help you can give.
[Edit] There are other symptoms that have appeared around the same time which could be related, all indicating the graphics card bugging out. Sometimes the screen goes black while everything else works fine (audio, keyboard, etc.). Sometimes the mouse still works somehow, sometimes it lags severely, sometimes it just completely freezes.
Just now I was trying to use ffmpeg. The machine kept doing that blank-screen freeze until I tried doing nothing but doing the ffmpeg task straight after I booted back up. Then it worked okay.
