Description
There may be a bug in the video driver or video hardware.
Some versions of Windows may show the description as "VIDEO_TDR_ERROR".
This is a fatal Windows error, typically called a Stop message, Bug Check, or more commonly the Blue Screen of Death (BSoD). The system is in a forced reboot state. Any unsaved work is likely lost.
Sample Screen
A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
Attempt to reset the display driver and recover from timeout failed.
If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any Windows updates you might need.
If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.

Key Facts
Full Title
Attempt to reset the display driver and recover from timeout failed.
Check if you are using the latest video device driver and that the driver is correctly matched to the video adapter model.
You can use a product like Driver Genius or Radar Sync to verify you have the latest drivers and help keep all your drivers up-to-date. If you're comfortable with driver installations, you can individually find and install current drivers.

Confirm the hardware is working correctly using a hardware diagnostic program. If you suspect a specific hardware item, such as memory stick or video card, try replacing it with known good hardware.
Don't overlook the possibility that hardware was not installed correctly, especially anything you installed just prior to the problems starting. Make sure all cards and memory are securely seated in their slots. Verify disk drive cables are properly connected and are not loose.
Several software products that offer an extensive range of hardware diagnostics includes Fix-It Utilities Professional and SystemSuite Professional. Other diagnostic products include Eurosoft's PC Check and Iolo's System Mechanic.
If you just installed new hardware, confirm it is really compatible with the Windows. Use Windows compatibility page for newer Windows. The XP compatibility page was removed from the Microsoft site in Nov-2010.
An attempt to reset the display driver and recover from a timeout failed.
After the Stop code will be 4 hex values: {Parameter 1, Parameter 2, Parameter 3, Parameter 4}.
Parameter 1 specifies the pointer to the internal TDR recovery context, if available.
Parameter 2 specifies a pointer into the responsible device driver module (for example, the owner tag).
Parameter 3 specifies the error code of the last failed operation, if available.
Parameter 4 is not defined.
If a hardware time-out occurs, the Timeout Detection and Recovery (TDR) process initiates. The Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) scheduler calls the driver's DxgkDdiResetFromTimeout function, which attempts to reset the GPU.
While BSoD fatal stop errors are identified by Microsoft Windows, they are often caused by
non-Microsoft applications, drivers and hardware issues.
