Continuous VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE BSOD loop

Hello everyone!

I am having an issue when freshly installing Windows 10 on a new PC. I booted from an USB disk and installed the OS and everything went alright in the beginning. The trouble came when I got to windows. I prompted the auto-update to start and after a few minutes the PC restarted itself in the process. But when restarting, before the windows loading screen I was confronted with a BSOD with the error message: VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE. Nothing else. The pc shut down, starting up again and again there was the same BSOD. This looped back onto itself indefinitively.

I reinstalled again and this time I tried blocking any and all updates by not hooking up to the internet which worked, but resulted in a computer not usable as intended.

I tried to manually install a few drivers (from Intel and Nvidia first) and was greeted with the same BSOD when I manually restarted the PC. I repeated this process with different drivers. Sometimes I got an added (nvlddmkm.sys) in the blue screen, but it was always missing when the BSOD loop began.

I've been working at it for a few days now. I tried the suggestions in a few forums:

nvlddmkm.sys Bluescreen / Windows 10

But none prevented a first BSOD from happening and after the loop the only thing I can do is do a fresh install and start from the beginning. As a result I couldn't find any dump files or error reports. Let alone find a way to get to windows after a BSOD to install the program in your posting instructions thread... Leaving me quite neatly in the dark.

I hope some more experienced minds then mine have an idea what I could do!

Kind regards,
Kevin

Hello Kevin and welcome to the forum.
Have you checked the MSI support website to see if there is a BIOS Update for the specific board and revision number?
https://us.msi.com/search/X99S SLI Plus/product/1/
Also double check the
Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver
Intel Management Engine
Intel Chipset Driver
and confirm that you are using the latest that they have available.
