    Yup - the last BSOD stated MEMORY_MANAGEMENT and I let the counter run to 100% before rebooting

    Next time, I will run the BETA log collector and find & zip the memory.dmp file

    I wish there were a way to disable to automatic cleanup of minidumps and the MEMORY.DMP file

    Had another BSOD, but this time the Stop Code is SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (as opposed to Memory Management). It happened when I woke the computer from Standby and logged into Windows (a few seconds into the login)

    For any BSOD please post:
    a) A new BETA log collector zip
    b) memory.dmp if the file size is < 1.5 GB
    c) please keep these files separate so that the BETA zip file can be viewed while the memory dump is downloading.

    Code:
    Crash dump found at C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP
    Creation date: 01/21/2019 09:44:50
    Size on disk: 1308 MB

    1) Please post a new separate BETA log collector zip into the thread.

    2) Open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste:
    3) sfc /scannow
    4) dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
    5) chkdsk /scan
    6) wmic RecoverOS set AutoReboot = False
    7) When these have completed > right click on the top bar or title bar of the administrative command prompt box > left click on edit then select all > right click on the top bar again > left click on edit then copy > paste into the thread

    It can be easy to miss BSOD when automatically restart is checked.
    When there is a BSOD and automatically restart is unchecked you should see a BSOD window with bugcheck and : (
    Sometimes you may see a misbehaving driver in the form *.sys
    At the very beginning of a BSOD you may see a % counter
    If you see the % counter allow it to rise to 100% before rebooting so that there is sufficient time to create the dump file
    Step #6 will modify the startup and recovery system so that automatically restart is unchecked.


    8) uninstall the Nvidia GPU driver using DDU (display driver uninstaller)
    9) re-install the Nvidia GPU driver from the Nvidia website
    10) make sure that you check the clean install box and if available install the physx driver.

    As requested with BETA log + CMD log attached

    GPU driver uninstalled and re-installed as instructed

    The text data are fine.
    So far it appears that the bit flip was a misbehaving hardware driver.
    If there are no more BSOD this will complete the troubleshooting.
    If there are more BSOD and they are related to the GPU driver another driver version can be used.
    If there are recurrent BSOD with multiple driver versions then the hardware will need to be troubleshooted.

    Thanks zbook - to confirm, this BSOD was not related to the RAM (but rather GPU), correct?

    The majority of my BSOD were memory_management before.

    @philc43 had found the bit flip and asked that the RAM be tested over several weeks.
    Make sure that all of the RAM tests have been completed so that the problems related to RAM can be ruled in/out.

    It took a lot of time for the BSOD to display the misbehaving driver.
    At this moment in time a cause for the BSOD has been identified.

    Options include:

    a) continue to use the computer and report any BSOD
    and if there are any BSOD the dump files can be debugged to find a misbehaving driver or malfunctioning hardware

    versus

    b) using a tool which can immediately cause misbehaving drivers to BSOD

    OK - will proceed with option a) given that the GPU driver issue appears to be a one-off event. Will keep the current RAM configuration in the meantime. Thanks

    Please update the progress in the RAM testing.

    Just had another BSOD: DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

    Occurred while scrubbing through a video file
