    Frequent BSODs occurring especially while launching games.


    For the past few days, I have been encountering several BSODs, only when i am launching games like Forza or Batman.

    They have the following stopcodes:
    KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE
    KERNEL_MODE_HEAP_CORRUPTION
    VIDEO_TDR_ERROR
    THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER
    SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION

    WhoCrashed says that all of them were caused mainly by either Radeon or DirectX drivers. I then updated all the drivers, but still am getting the BSODs.

    Please help me out.
    Thanks a lot in advance!

    I have attached the log file.

    EDIT- My current system is the second one(the laptop).

    Thanks, I have done a BIOS update. But unfortunately still I got a BSOD od KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE. I did a chkdsk /scan too to check if there were any disk problems but nothing shows up.

    No problems showed up during the furmark test, though I stopped it when the temperatures were getting high.

    The new log files are attached below.

    Can somebody please help me out?

    I am still getting the BSODs. A new one that popped up is PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA. These are now ooccuring also during normal use, unlike before when it came when launching games.

    This is what WhoCrashed after analysing the files-

    Code:

    I have uploaded the log files.

    Please help me solve this problem!
    Thanks in advance.

    Looking at the dumps, most are GPU related as you said.

    You currently have Driver Version: 26.20.13001.50005 dated 03-09-2019 which is newer than the latest shown on the ASUS web site.

    Did you follow the instructions: [Gaming NB] Update driver - How to install AMD chipset driver ?
    They want you to uninstall the current driver before installing the new driver.

    Are you doing any over clocking?

    There were 34 BSODs:

    0X00000050 0X00000050 0X00000050 0X00000050 0X00000050 0X0000003b 0X0000003b 0X00000139 0X00000139 0X00000139 0X00000139 0X00000139 0X00000139 0X0000013a 0X0000013a 0X0000003b 0X0000003b 0X0000003b 0X100000ea 0X100000ea 0X100000ea 0X100000ea 0X100000ea 0X100000ea 0X00000116 0X00000116 0X00000116 0X00000116 0X00000116 0X00000116 0X00000116 0X00000116 0X00000116
    0X00000116

    What seems odd is they came in the order shown, not intermixed.

    Was a Windows Update installed at the time this problem started happening? Check Windows Update History?

    You can also try running DISM and SFC to see if that corrects any corrupted OS files. Here is an easy way to do so. Copy the following and create a batch file, then right click on the batch file and run as Administrator:

    Code:
    @echo off
    date /t & time /t
    echo Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
    echo ...
    date /t & time /t
    echo Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
    echo ...
    date /t & time /t
    echo SFC /scannow
    SFC /scannow
    date /t & time /t
    pause
    Run up to 3 times if necessary until you get a clean run without errors.

    About the chipset driver version, I am not sure how it messed up, as I updated the driver using Device Manager, which I assumed was a good way to keep it updated.

    I am not doing any overclocking, but I had changed some minor settings in the AMD Radeon menu about which applications can use the GPU.

    The only windows update that happened in the past 2 days was a Windows Defender update.

    I did a RestoreHealth and Scannow, which showed no problems. I will run the other command too and update you about it.

    Thanks for the reply!

    Try installing the driver following the directions at the link I gave you.

    Run the DISM and SFC commands in sequence as shown in the batch file.

    I have updated the drivers using the method you said.

    Now, DISM and SFC showed no problems when i ran it.
    StartComponentCleanup went till 100% and ended sucessfully the first time, but the next few times I tried, it stopped after 20%, showing this below-

    C:\WINDOWS\system32>dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup

    Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
    Version: 10.0.18362.1

    Image Version: 10.0.18362.418

    [=========== 20.0% ]
    The operation completed successfully.


    Is this normal?

    Yes, it completed but the graphic didn't move to 100%. That's okay.
