Multiple types of BSOD after ~30 minutes of gaming
Hello everyone!
First of all, thanks for helping me out, would be nice if the problem can be solved after about 2 months of dealing with a BSOD every day. It happened, more on this later, only once a day and the BSOD was not 1080p which made me think of a GPU driver related issue. As you guys will see in the logs, it was related to nVidia in some way.
After removing the Geforce Experience and disabling all the nVidia processes I still got multiple BSOD.
Yesterday, I live in Europe, I decided to see if it could be solved by taking out the GPU and the RAM and putting them back in. Before I did that, I removed my GPU driver using DDU and got all the electric power out by removing the power cord and pressing the on/off switch multiple times.
After that I re-installed my GPU driver, beforehand I was using the newest, then I removed that one and replaced it with 362.00 (which didn't solve my problem) and then took out my GPU and RAM. It is running the newest one now which is version 368.22. This solved my problem with the BSOD not being 1080p so I thought it wasn't GPU driver related anymore.
I got two BSOD that same day, both while playing The Division. I debugged them and saw that one was network related, or something, and the other one gave a memory crash, or something. BTW, I looked at my BSOD using BlueScreenViewer and debugged them using WinDbg.
I did a 1-pass memtest with both my sticks. After that I removed one stick, furthest away from the CPU, and let it run overnight. It passed 9 passes, almost 10, during 12 hours. Then I removed the stick and put the other one in, at the same spot it was before testing. I left for school so it didn't run as long. It ran 8 hours straight with 5 passes.
There was no overclock on my system but I did do a small overclock in the past. It was built 12th of December, so it is fairly new, almost 6 months now. After I removed the overclock, since it kept crashing and I had no time to look into it (could be the same issue as I am having now), I had no BSOD or crash for about 2 - 3 months.
Like I said, these errors came in unexpectedly during gaming. They started appearing ~2 months ago and the weird thing is, before I took out the GPU and RAM, it only happened once a day and the BSOD screen wasn't 1080p.
I haven't played any games yet today since I am quite busy with school. I decided to post this so you guys can start debugging yourself and see what the problems are.
I included the required files.
Thanks for your time guys,
Maik
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I did a clean install of Windows 10 since I thought it might resolve the issues, that is why there aren't DUMP files from about 2 months now. I didn't upgrade from Windows 7 or 8. I built the PC myself.
EDIT 2: Also forgot to mention that I have had more black screen restarts than BSOD pre 1 week before taking out the GPU and RAM.
