Minecraft crashing graphics card?

Hello all!
I have been having problems with my graphics card overloading when playing minecraft.
Here is the errors that I have been getting:
- VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE(igdkmd64.sis)
- VIDEO_SCHEDULER_INTERNAL_ERROR

The computer freezes after about an hour of game play and is forced to restart.

My specs are:
Lenovo y-50 UHD(4k resolution)
Intel 4th generation i7 processor
16GB RAM
256 GB SSD
Nvidia GTX 860M 2GB VRAM

I have tried downing the resolution from 4K(3840x2160) to 1080p. It still freezes.
I have also tried running the game in full screen mode and this seams to prolong the period before the computer freezes but doesn't prevent it.

I read online that the Nvidia card still renders the game in 4k and then down sizes it to 1080p when the computer resolution is set to it. I can't seem to figure out how to change this though, or if this is the problem.

I also have tried to download optifine to adjust the resolution of minecraft but I cannot seam to do open the file once it has been downloaded. This is very odd and I have no idea why it would not open.

Also, when minecraft is working, I have it on high settings (w/16 chunks of viewing distance) and it only seams to pull about 48fps in 4k and it doesn't change at all when I downscale the resolution to 1080p.

Any suggestions would be great!!
Thanks

 

Temperatures?

 

igdkmd64.sys suggest that you're running the game off Intel's iGPU. Make sure you run it off NVidia GPU.

 

I had that problem to start with but I fixed that. Minecraft runs on the Nvidia GPU.

As for temperature, I have made sure that good airflow gets too the computer. I have proped it up where air intake and expulsion is not blocked by anything. Other than that, I am not sure if this is a problem.

I still think that it is a problem with the Nvidia chip rendering the game in 4K and then downscaling it to 1080. The fps doesn't change whether I run the game in 4K or 1080. I still don't understand why I am only getting about 48fps in normal gameplay. I have seen videos where a y50 has over 100fps in minecraft. Even when I put the settings on low, it doesn't get above 72fps. I have allocated 4Gb of Ram to the game.

 

Turn off V-Sync. The Y50 4K screen is a 48Hz panel.

 

That's criminal

 

Not as prevalent nowadays, but fairly common with the early 4K notebook screens

 

Perfect for watching the hobbit

 

I wish, unfortunately the 48 FPS version was only shown in theaters . The best we can do is fake it with SVP interpolation.

 

I didn't know that. I thought there was a Bluray release.. Oh well

 

It's 24 FPS just like every other Blu-ray

 

So you are saying that TPB lied to me?!?

 

Lol

 

Thank you so much! I have done some testing and it seams to have fixed it! Now framerate soars into the hundreds!! Thanks again

 

This did work for the frame rate issue but still did not solve the freezing issue. Was just in 1080 running minecraft locked at 60fps and it took less than 10 minutes before the computer froze up. Any other suggestions?

 

SOLVED:
I ended up resetting my whole computer after many tries and attempts to solve this issue. Not sure if it was the upgrade to Windows 10 that did it or just some glitch somewhere else. When I reset everything and downgraded to 8 and reupgraded to 10 it seamed to fix everything that was a problem. Thankfully it was a new computer and I didnt have many files that needed transferring.
