If you Google Shadow play red line, you'll get a bunch of different answers.  Everything from making sure you have enough space in the directory that you're saving the videos  to re-installing the Nvidia drivers.

The simplest solution I saw was to turn off shadow play in the GeForce Experience window and then turn it back on.  That and a computer restart has worked for some people to fix the problem.

There's lots of info out there for you to try anyway.

The only other thing I could possibly suggest is to uninstall and re-install the GeForce experience program.  Sorry I couldn't be more help.

This happens to me from time to time. Very simple and easy to fix.

Step 1: Go into GeForce Experience, open up Shadowplay and turn it off.

Step 2: Go into your start menu and search "Run", and then open up the Run application.

Step 3: Type in "services.msc" and click Okay.

Step 4: Scroll down the menu until you see "NVIDIA Stream Service".

Step 5: Right click on it and select "Restart".

Step 6: Close the menu and turn Shadowplay on.

Hope that helped!

That still didn't work. I just started using shadowplay and I have yet to use it.

Are you sure your GPU meets the minimum requirements for shadowplay?
