BSODs with random bug check codes in games using NVidia GPU
Hi all,
I have a new build with the following specs:
MB: Asus Rampage V Extreme/USB3.1
CPU: Intel i7-5930k, currently not OC'ed
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H100i GTX
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4 DRAM 2666MHz C16
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 P2 80+ PLATINUM, 1000W
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX TITAN X (EVGA Overclocked version)
SSD (Win 10 boot drive): Intel 750 Series PCIe AIC 1.2TB Internal SSD
HDD: Western Digital Red Pro 4TB NAS
Keyboard: Corsair K95 RGB Mechanical
Mouse: Logitech G502 Proteus Core
I installed Windows 10 Pro on the Intel SSD, installation went smoothly. I updated all of the drivers from the Asus web site, and am currently running those. Everything runs fine, mostly web browing with Chrome, MS Office apps and Quicken. I have sleep turned off, and system is pretty stable.
The only problem is when I try to run the two games I've got installed, GuildWars 2 and Skyforge, they both get blue screens after approximately 1 to 5 minutes from starting them up. This is happens 100% of the time. I've tried many, many things to isolate the problem, but so far, no dice.
Some of the things I've done, that haven't helped:
1. Reseated the Titan X in the PCI slot.
2. Removed the memory modules and installed them in reverse order in the same slots.
3. Manually checked all connections on the motherboard (and elsewhere) to make sure they're attached well,
4. Inspected front and back of motherboard for possible contact with any loose wires or with other components that might cause shorts.
5. Ran memory and stress tests on system using Asus PC Diagnotics program.
6. Tried turning down the overclocking on the Titan X using the Asus Precision X program. I don't know if this does anything because the GPU board may be "hard-wired" to the overclocked speed.
Anyway, if any of you are using a high-end graphics card on this motherboard with Windows 10, and have had seemingly random BSODs when running games only, and have any solutions, recommendations, or additional information about this setup, I'd really appreciate your response.
I'm attaching a couple of minidumps (the only ones I have at the moment), but I have gotten many while trying to run the games, and they've been all over the board in terms of likely causes (for example, they've implicated ntoskrnl.exe, netio.sys, and cl.dll, to name a few). Several of them have been of the type "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL". Please let me know of any other information that you'd like to have.
Since many of you are like me and have spent a small fortune to build a system for gaming primarily, I'm sure you can understand that this is really frustrating.
Thanks in advance for your help.
