Hello
Just wondering if anybody has faced this at all.

So, I get the error " Event ID 0 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found" when I am streaming, using OBS, and gaming. What will occur is that the game itself will crash, but OBS stays up, and Event viewer gives the error listed above. The crash usually happens after 30ish minutes.

I tried the same game, no OBS stream, and played for over 1.5 hours, and 0 crashes.

Is it possible that my OBS profile is corrupted? Are my settings too high? It is just so bloody annoying.

The only plugin I use for OBS is the win-capture-audio, never had issues prior to this newest OBS update. I am downgrading to the 29.0.0 update and see what happens.

Same has been happening to me. Easily replicated by opening the Netflix windows app and clicking on a movie. Boom, instantly monitors go black and I have to ALT+F4 and pray that it actually closes Netflix and restores my display. If not, I try WIN+CTRL+SHIFT+B to reset my graphics driver and hope for the best. I've had to hard-restart my computer before. Rocking a 2080 Super for reference.

I had same problem with my asus ROG STRIX X670E-E GAMING WIFI and I fixed it.
1. I uninstalled the chipset driver via amd chipset software and restarted PC.
2. Downloaded chipset installer from motherboard website and I runned it as administrator, installed chipset again, restarted pc and i have no problem now.

If reinstalling the chipset drivers not working. Reset the gpu registration on motherboard.
1.Shutdown pc and remove GPU.
2.Start the pc without gpu and shutdown after that.
3.Put gpu back and start it again.
That sometimes happen on bios update

Actually, the bizarre thing about my situation is that I just upgraded nearly all of my PC components; new motherboard, new CPU, new RAM, and today I just installed a new 4070, and this issue is STILL happening for me. It must be one of my OBS settings or something, right? I'll try to tamper with it a bit and see what I can do.

EDIT: I actually just figured out my problem. I disabled HAGS (Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling) and my issue stopped. I remember enabling this a few months ago, and it seems to be the culprit. Pretty strange, because I only had this error when OBS was open. For anyone wondering where this setting is located in Windows 11:

Settings -> System -> Display -> Graphics -> Change Default Graphics Settings

For people with amd ryzen x3d if u set the CCPC Dynamic Preferred Cores to Cache and play games like: CSGO, ETS2,DAYZ you will get
"Event ID 0 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found" error. I didn't tested that with OBS. I runned the tests with Ryzen 7950x3d and ROG STRIX X670E-E GAMING WIFI.

Fixed " Event ID 0 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found" I had to remove Cpu(7950x3d) from motherboard, reinstalled the bios on motherboard(asus motherboard) and after doing this it works without problems. It was probably because there were many bios updates recently.
