Oi mate. I've worked for a tech support store for like 10 years mainly fixing component related issues like directly playing with the circuit board of a gpu or stuff like that. I might be able to help you but these things are better handled if the fixer has the device itself. But from what you have described, which is a pretty good description of the issue btw, I suspect a few things might have happened.
First of all lets go for the obvious. nvlddmkm.sys can happen as a result of two things. Either your gpu has worked so hard that one or more components on the board just fried or hard work caused a f*ck up with the drivers. Most of the time this can be checked with a clean install of the OS. I would just take the gpu out, open up the plastic cover with the fans really carefully and dust it off. If a serious burn on the component itself happened, you can even see the problematic part while cleaning the board. After that if nothing strikes me as unusual I would plug it into my test system. (Hardware guys usually have a spare system with really basic components to test stuff out on the fly like hdd, ssd, ram, gpu and psu) If the error repeats on the test system I would say the gpu is a goner. Now I am pretty sure you don't have a test system or a spare computer laying around I would suggest installing a Win10 OS to an USB Drive preferably with capacity over 32gb and unplug every hard drive in my computer, boot the computer with the USB drive OS and check the issue.
Also you can force your computer to a safe start and manually delete the driver and reinstall it. But if you can't get any signal to your monitor to be able to do that, again, gpu might be a goner.

You said when you push the button pc is not powering up. But how is that happening exactly? I mean you push the button, fans start spinning up a bit and stops completely or literally nothing happens when you press it?

If fans start spinning up and stop your power supply might have fried something not so significant so that it can run but with a lower power output. If that is the case, that PSU only have a couple of weeks left before dying completely and presumably taking a couple of components with her in the process. If nothing happens, PSU is already gone.

Also, if fans start spinning up but stop after a moment, your CPU or RAM's might not be passing the boot sequence which means one or both of those can be fried. Most of the modern motherboards have a strip of leds that light up when a component is starting its boot sequence. When the CPU starts the boot sequence you can see the CPU light flashing or lighting up constantly. If CPU finishes the sequence cpu light keep lighting and RAM light start lighting with it or flashing. Same thing goes for most of the components like HDD's SSD's and even GPU depending on the motherboard. You can simply remove the left side cover of your case and watch the process as you push the power button.

You really don't need stress to fry your stuff by the way. %10 voltage unstability be it +10%or-10% with .3 second intervals for 3 seconds straight is enough to burn your stuff depending on your power socket/outlet/cable quality and even the houses cable work.

We are in the summer mate. Whatever the case, clean your computer. Dust is the main enemy of anything electrical. Really if you keep your device clean, you eliminate like the %99 of the burning chance. That %1 sadly comes from the part itself. Every man made contraption has its lifespan mate. One can't expect it to run forever.

Pro Tip: If the issue is resolved somehow, definitely open up your gpu, clean it and take out the heatsink. You should see the thermal fluid and where it is supposed to be. Clean that up with rubbing alcohol and apply new thermal fluid. That will also ensure that your gpu will live a bit longer than its lifespan. Feel free to follow up with the results or new developments mate. I'll try my best to help you out.

I confirm the problem with the power cable, and that's like BSODs/freeze that have nothing to do with the real problem. And I realized that my PC was freezing when I touched the 24-pin cord on the motherboard.

I thought Corsair was a good brand, it is, but only for RAM.

Gpu frying part is scary. It might be the case. It's working now. I can at the least clean it up a bit and see if the freeze or anything happens again after some use. If it did i will have to call some hardware guy. I know one who assembled the PC but if gpu is really fried. I wil be in big problem.

Thanks for lengthy explantion. I appreciate it. I almost gave up on PC.

Edit: i should atleast backup the important stuff to external hard disk while it's still running.

Good news mate. If its working now its probably heat related. You might wanna check your under load and idle temps. Sometimes when the gpu overheat ,which can happen even at idle if its pretty dusty, it temporarily shuts itself down to prevent burning up. This can be observed on AMD gpus really good cuz when that happens screen goes black for a second, when it comes back a warning appears from the bottom right corner saying AMD catalyst drivers crashed or saved or sth like that. Now when that happens on nVidia gpus, it usually kills the system processes altogether to prevent reuse of the gpu until a certain cooldown period has passed. Meaning of this, you will hear the sound of the last 0.3 seconds in an irritating loop over and over again which suggests that hdmi sound process has interfered with the system while shutting down. Latest image of the screen usually stays on the screen and everything basically freezes. At that point gpu still thinks it can be saved without shutting down the whole system yet even if it is not possible gpu can not differ a second from an hour, so it stays at that state until the issue is resolved. Reason of this is the same thing actually happens whenever you overload the gpu with a process it can not handle properly. While playing a game that your gpu can't run properly a sudden freeze and a sound bug happens but that thing happens for a milisecond or so. To sum it up, gpu doesn't know how to classify simple errors so basically it thinks every single tingle that happens is a heart attack :D

TLDR: Check the temps, clean up, apply new thermal paste and if it is overheating get a couple of good fans to modify your case. Or wait till the summer is over :D

I've never been much of a render-head, but I started playing around with DAZ, this is basically the first thing that I tried rendering, got most of the stuff on the assets release thread.

Wanted to try some stuff with colored lighting and darkness, does it look any good, is this decent, suggestions to improve?

I liked doing it, these things can be pretty fun!

Going for brands is something I've stopped doing shortly after I've started working at the tech store. Also, %95 of the time reaaaaaalllly strange and unthinkable thing is causing the problem. Once I was working on a clients case, we were like 4 guys working there and all of us were sure about the issue is caused by PSU. After a week of work, it turns out the BIOS battery was shorting :D

^^ Investigations are sometimes long to the point of desperation. And a wandering hand has solved ah ah
I remember spending hours looking for driver, firmware, tweaked bios on this site:
You must be registered to see the links


For the story : And what was killing me was that it crashed that on the ARK game in the middle of Trex's taming, 12 hours stressed the arrival of the alpha raptors xD. That was the beginning of the beta.

And indeed the problems are sometimes not where we think they are, exactly.

I LOVE slave art. Having my own Slave is one of my favorite fetishes.

It's not one of my fetishes but every time I look at this character I find it fits her like a charm. :sneaky:

Yea i agree with you, there are some characters that look perfect in a specific role.

RIP PC problem. I built my own PC for the first time two years ago and almost lost my shit cause I kept getting BSOD which corresponded with either drive issues or HW issues. I thought I fucked up building it but in the end they just sent me fucked RAM from the shop.

And speaking of slaves I just put up together real quick some second-rate alienchick for the bad guy to abuse in the scene first time showing him and I think she turned out a bit too well and now I kinda feel bad using her like that.

I've been running with a Corsair HX1050 since 2013 and I can't fault it. So maybe not all bad.

Yeah, I got a service replacement, 980 TI out of order for a new 1080. And there's an audio driver conflict between nvidia and realtek.

As soon as I install the latest realtek driver...
