Alternating BSODs: Video Scheduler Internal Error & Watchdog Violation
Hello helpful people,
I have had massive BSOD problems for a week now, and after spending every single evening trying to solve it by myself I am reaching my humble limits.
The story goes like this:
For no apparent reason (meaning i hadn't installed anything or made any changes to the system before) my system started crashing with a Video Scheduler Internal Error when playing Dota 2 (I had played a couple of games before that day, and it started crashing after i took a break for an hour or so). After that, it kept crashing a short time after restarting (less than 5 minutes), which made problem solving very difficult.
I tried all the "simple" tips and tricks I found via google, mainly driver updates and downgrades, updating Windows etc. but none of them helped.
Finally I desperately tried a reinstallation of Windows. The only change being that i now get a second kind of BSOD, which is a DPC Watchdog Violation. Both BSODs now appear in irregular order. I again tried driver updates etc., but it proves difficult because of the short time span I get between crashes. I can't for example install a new Geforce driver because the system crashes every time somewhere during the installation.
An interesting (to me, maybe expected for someone who knows more) aspect is that I'm completely fine in Safe Mode.
Among the attached mini dumps should be some of either kind of BSOD. I would be super thankful for any kind of help or even just hints at solutions. Please let me know if I missed any important information!
A very sad Simon
