I have been plagued by countless annoying random game crashes the past months with my pc with all pointing out to this error (from event viewer) when they occur: „The description for Event ID 153 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
\Device\00000092
Reset TDR occurred on GPUID:100
The message resource is present but the message was not found in the message table“
Solution:
You have to give permission to yourself to change that file. Windows has the permissions set to TrustedInstaller by default to prevent other people from messing with core files.
To do this, open the properties of the file you want permission of, go into the Security tab, hit Advanced (there should be a bunch of names of people with permissions), hit Change next to Owner, and a dialogue box will pop up where you can enter in names. You need to enter the name of your user. It should be like „(computer user name)\Users“ and then you can check for it. Once it works and changes your name to the permission, hit apply. Then close the properties and you should have permission over the file. You can now change the Security.
As a measure of precaution, you should change it back to TrustedInstaller when you’re done messing around with it.
