TDR stands for Timeout Detection and Recovery.

This is a system Windows uses to recover from a frozen situation. For example when Windows thinks your graphics card hangs, it automatically reinitialize the video driver and resets the graphics card. Only thing you notice is a screen flicker.

One user has reported that this can happen when you render a heavy BluffTitler show in full HD with maximum antialiasing quality on a slow graphics card. In this situation rendering can become so slow that Windows concludes it hangs (in this case unfairly) and activates TDR which ruins your render.

I haven't experienced this phenomenon myself (my graphics card must be fast enough), but if you have here's a solution:
