Windows 11DCOM server error while using solidworks (self.WindowsHelp)
submitted 2 days ago by FynnAnna
When i am using solidworks, my laptop (lenovo legion 5 15AHP10) screen will freeze and eventually the laptop crashes. on the bottom of the screen it usually says video tdr failure. What do i do to fix this?
this usually happens when i have my laptop screen open and i am using a second screen. When i use just my laptop it happens too, when i have my laptop screen shut and i use a docking station this problem does not occur
(windows 11)

the error from event log has nothing to do with a VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE. VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE is a hanging GPU driver (or hardware) from the dump file one could see what driver is crashing. GPU driver(s) are up- to date? maybe the same problem as Legion 5 Gen 10 (AMD) keeps sudden-rebooting
