BSOD's when playing games using Nvidia card
Hello,
I'll try to give as much information as possible.
Due to problems with BSOD's in win7 after I started playing World of Warships, I eventually ended up with my laptop not detecting my Nvidia GPU anymore.
I recently upgraded to win10 and my Nvidia GPU got detected again.
Some quick computer specs:
Alienware x17 R4
Windows 10 Home-64bit
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3610QM CPU @ 2.30GHz (8 CPUs)12GB RAM
Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000 / Nvidia 675M
Sound Blaster Recon 3Di
The Problem:
After I upgraded to Win10 I had the problem of getting BSOD's with multiple causes after playing games using my Nvidia GPU for up to 2 hours. I started updating drivers and changing power settings and eventually it stopped for at least a week.
Sadly, it started again. The BSOD's had multiple causes and names just like in this minidump file linked.
I tried everything, a couple of examples:
- Updating all drivers (Chipsets, wireless, ethernet, GPU)
- Flashing BIOS to the last version possible available on the dell website
- Playing while plugged in and on battery to check a difference there
- Changing stuff in the Nvidia control panel
- Changing stuff in advanced power options
- Updating to all sorts of Nvidia driver version, using clean installs, only Driver + Physx, and using DDU in safe mode
- Probably multiple other things...
The latest thing I did was going back to the specific Intel and Nvidia drivers Dell provide on their website. Also went back to the Sound driver Dell provided (and got the control panel back of it).
But, nothing helps. I've been thinking about a possible problem in my power supply... But I can't really find what the correct voltages should be. HWiNFO64 shows 12.6V on my battery, which looks a bit worrysome. But I'm not sure about the voltages of my GPU (I think I saw it avaraging around something of 0.9V or it was 9.x V or something).
I finally decided to ask for help. Just ask me to run a program to test stuff if needed.
So added are is the zipfile created by the website's program.
Thank you.
