I'm going to add some input here since it is not fixed in 457.30 still. I also have this Event ID: 4101 error "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered" thing. The monitor goes no signal, not sure if my GPU shut down or something. But this black screen thing never triggered while gaming, it is only triggered while skipping rapidly on timeline on some Youtube videos and some VLC video playback. Sometimes the display recover, sometimes I just will not come back and I have to restart PC. 😳 It happens extremely rare like once every week, but annoying enough, not sure if it has anything to do with hardware acceleration option in Firefox browser or VLC video playback.

I have also been experiencing this issues since Upgrading to my RTX 3080 Back in September. I have had 4 3080 Cards total, all of them experienced this issue, and all of them I DDU'd the Drivers before installing the latest available driver at time of install. The card I ended up keeping was the EVGA FTW3 3080, and I just experienced this issue again for the first time since November 1st, again while watching a Youtube Video in Chrome. I know how to pretty reliably recreate this issue. I also have a 1080ti FTW3 which was my daily card before upgrading to the 3080, and with that card installed I have no issues whatsoever. However, with the 3080 installed, I can usually reproduce this Black Screen Driver Crash then Recover within an hour or so. As far as I can tell, it seems to happen when a Program uses Hardware Acceleration, and the card is in low power mode, I don't know if the card goes below a certain clock or what, but it always seems to happen when the card is barely using any power, but a program is using it. When only watching Youtube videos, it happens very rarely for me, but like I said it happened just a few minutes ago and I was only watching a Youtube Video in Chrome. However, if I want to reproduce the issue quickly all I need to do is open my "XProtect Smart Client" app, enable Hardware Acceleration so that it uses the GPU, then keep either up on one of my monitors, or even minimized, and ALWAYS within an hour (But usually within 10 to 20 minutes) the Driver Crash happens. Sometimes its so bad that one of my Monitors doesn't even come back, and I have to restart in order to see one of my Monitors again. To stop experience this crashing Regularly, I turned off Hardware Acceleration in Xprotect, and since doing that I have only experienced the crash once every week or 2, and in those cases its always while watching a Youtube Video, and Chrome is set to use Hardware Acceleration. I have read on forums that if I set Chrome in the NVidia Control panel to use "Prefer Maximum Performance" instead of the default that this problem will stop happening, but as I always have at least a dozen or so Chrome Tabs open while working, I really don't want to do that, I want my GPU to be able to downclock when its not needed. So it would be nice to have this issue fixed. I have installed my 1080ti back in the system, DDU'd, but then installed the most recent drivers just to see if the problem would happen with the newest drivers on my old card, and it will not. Even when settings XProtect to use HW Acceleration I can get through days on the 1080ti without issue. But then as soon as I reinstalled the 3080, DDU, then reinstall those same new drivers, open XProtect with HW Acceleration, and then within 30 minutes or so I experience the Crash. Anyways, I would be happy to enable a Full Memory or Kernel dump, and then recreate the issue and collect the dump on my next crash if that will help the engineers find a solution. I use a Dual Monitor setup, am on Windows 10 1909 (But have installed one of my 3080's in my Test Bench with an up to date Windows and experienced the exact same problem there, so I am pretty sure my Windows Version is not the issue), and am On the AMD 3950x and X470 Platform.

MattTheTechLV:

I have not. I have the Global Power Management Mode set to "Optimal" the default, so thats what Chrome uses. I can set it to adaptive and see if that changes anything, but will most likely be a while before I experience a Crash in Chrome as it happens once every week or 2 or so.

Xman01:

Adaptive is less aggressive in it's power saving although it is still a power saving mode and will use less than prefer max performance. Hopefully it will fix your issue.

Really now, happen also with other games, like Rocket League, i think is not anymore only Ubisoft. Is a problem of Nvidia.

I have random black screen for a few moments, then recovering, only when the card is in a low power, watching youtube videos/twitch streams. I have no issue with games or stress test. GPU 3060ti Nvidia driver: 460.89
