Ошибка system thread exception not handled nvlddmkm sys windows 10

Пользователи графических карт «Nvidia» могут столкнуться внезапным появлением на экране их ПК «синего экрана смерти», в тексте которого упомянут неизвестный драйвер «nvlddmkm.sys». Часто это происходит после установки в систему очередного системного обновления или какой-либо внешней программы, после чего «синий экран» начинает появляться с завидным постоянством. Появление ошибки video_tdr_failure (nvlddmkm.sys) сигнализирует о некорректной работе драйвера для графической карты «Нвидиа», и обычно решается набором стандартных способов. В данном материале я разберу суть рассматриваемой дисфункции, а также представлю способы устранить экран смерти nvlddmkm.sys на Виндовс 7/10.

Причины дисфункции с Nvidia

Рассматриваемая мной проблема nvlddmkm.sys является довольно частым гостей в системах, работающих на ОС Виндовс 7,8 и 10. При этом разработчики от «Нвидиа» и «Майкрософт» всячески открещиваются от своей вины в появлении данной ошибки, отправляя жалующихся на проблему юзеров в «Майкрософт» (в случае «Нвидиа»), и в «Нвидиа» (в случае «Майкрософт»).

При тщательном рассмотрении можно сделать вывод, что в статистическом большинстве случаев причиной возникновения проблемы является драйвер от «Нвидиа». Во время инсталляции большинства графических драйверов в ОС Виндовс старая версия драйвера «nvlddmkm.sys» часто копируется в директорию:

Программы обращаются туда за новейшей версией драйвера, но находят там лишь устаревший вариант.

Кроме некорректной версии графического драйвера, причиной возникновения дисфункции также может быть:

• Перегрев системы (в частности, из-за оверклокинга);
• Некорректная работа какой-либо из планок памяти;
• Недостаточная мощность блока питания ПК;
• Плохие («битые») сектора на жёстком диске;
• Конфликт устройств (программного обеспечения);
• Недостаточный объём файла подкачки;
• Неверные настройки БИОС.

Рассмотрим несколько эффективных способов исправить возникшую ошибку.

Решение №1. Переименовываем и копируем файл nvlddmkm.sys

Скачайте и установите на ваш ПК самые свежие драйвера «Нвидиа». Теперь перейдите в папку:

найдите там файл nvlddmkm.sys, и переименуйте его в nvlddmkm.sys.old.

Теперь перейдите в директорию Нвидиа (обычно это C:\Nvidia), и найдите там файл nvlddmkm.sy_. Скопируйте данный файл на ваш рабочий стол (или в директорию рабочего стола на диске). Теперь нажмите на кнопку «Пуск», в строке поиска впишите cmd, и нажмите ввод.

В открывшемся окне командной строки введите:

и нажмите ввод.

Далее введите:

и вновь нажмите на ввод.

После это скопируйте файл nvlddmkm.sys с вашего рабочего стола в:

Перезагрузите ваш ПК.

Решение №2. Выполняем откат графического драйвера

Если ранее проблем не наблюдалось, а они появились после установки какого-нибудь обновления (нового драйвера), попробуйте откатить ПК на предыдущий драйвер.

1. Для этого нажмите на «Пуск», в строке поиска введите devmgmt.msc и нажмите ввод.
2. В открывшемся окне «Диспетчера устройств» разверните вкладку «Видеоадаптеры», кликните на вашей графической карте, нажмите правую клавишу мыши и выберите «Свойства».
3. Теперь нам необходимо перейти на вкладку «Драйвер», и выберите там «Откатить драйвер».
4. Затем перезагрузите наш PC.

Решение №3. Осуществляем чистую установку драйвера

Если предыдущие решения оказалась неэффективны в решении синего экрана nvlddmkm.sys, тогда необходимо полностью удалить графический драйвер «Нвидиа» и его составляющие из системы с помощью специального инструментария (например, программы «DriverSweeper»).

Затем перезагрузите ПК, загрузитесь в безопасном или обычном режиме, и запустите или установщик новых драйверов от «Нвидиа». Если на жёстком диске он отсутствует, его необходимо предварительно скачать на жёсткий диск, или специальную программу для обновления драйверов уровня «ДрайверПак Солюшн». После установки новых драйверов перезагрузите вашу машину.

Решение №4. Проверяем модули памяти

В некоторых случаях причиной дисфункции nvlddmkm.sys является нестабильная работа планок памяти ПК. Если у вас подключено несколько планок, тогда попробуйте попеременно задействовать лишь одну, и понаблюдать, будет ли появляться ошибка. Если ошибка исчезнет, значит виновата какая-либо из неподключенных в данный момент планок.

Также можно воспользоваться специальными инструментами для тестинга памяти, уровня «Memtest86».

Решение №5. Деактивируем разгон системы

Причиной ошибки также может являться перегрев системы (в частности из-за её искусственного разгона). Отключите такой разгон в БИОС (при наличии такой возможности), и деактивируйте программы для такого разгона.

Решение №6. Задействуем более мощный БП

Ещё одним эффективным решением nvlddmkm.sys станет задействование в системе более мощного БП. У ряда пользователей рассматриваемая в статье ошибка возникала из-за недостаточной мощности БП, потому замену на мощную альтернативу позволила устранить проблему.

Решение №7. Используем функционал утилиты CHKDSK

Ещё одним вариантом решения дисфункции будет проверка винчестера на наличие ошибок. Для этого необходимо задействовать функционал утилиты CHKDSK. Запустите командную строку, и там введите:

и нажмите ввод. Дождитесь окончания процедуры проверки.

Заключение

В большинстве случаев причиной проблем nvlddmkm.sys является некорректная работа графического драйвера, который необходимо заменить на модерный аналог. Если это не помогло, рекомендую воспользоваться другими приведёнными в статье решениями, что позволит избавится от ошибки nvlddmkm.sys на ОС Виндовс 7 и 10.
