    BSoD's while playing WoW and forum trawling


    I had a few BSoD's while doing many different thing's such as reading forums and playing world of Warcraft.

    while searching the web for solutions for the BSod's none of them seem to work they normally suggest scanning the computer for both virus's and malware. updating drivers, I have even tried things like using the driver verifier, memory diagnostics tool and the scf scannow command and nothing has been picked up. i have even tried reinstalling windows 10 but while keeping my personal files this did't work either.

    I'm hoping that some one can have a look at the dump files i have attached to help me determine the source of the problem problem

    Latest dump indicates a problem with aswMonFlt.sys, which belongs to your Avast anti-virus software.
    Code:
    BugCheck A, {0, 2, 1, fffff8033a4cd693}
    *** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for aswMonFlt.sys
    *** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for aswMonFlt.sys
    Please uninstall it and run with the built-in Windows Defender for now and see if that resolves the problem. If it does, you can stay with Windows Defender, which is what I use, along with Malwarebytes amti-malware and anti-exploit or try the latest Avast or a different AV program.

    Uninstall Avast then see if you get any more BSODs. If yes, re-run DM_Log_collector and post the zip.

    The 11/3 dump shows a problem with nvlddmkm.sys
    Code:
    BugCheck 19, {20, ffff940e4adeb450, ffff940e4adeb4f0, 40a001b}
    *** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for nvlddmkm.sys
    *** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for nvlddmkm.sys
    Probably caused by : nvlddmkm.sys ( nvlddmkm+82f26 )
    Remove and install latest Nvidia drivers:
    I suggest completely uninstalling the Nvidia display drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) from WagnardMobile (near bottom of page) then get the latest driver for you Nvidia card here: NVIDIA Driver Downloads Then do a custom install of only the NVidia graphics driver and the PhysX driver.

    You have 375.63 while there is a 375.70 available.
    See if that gets rid of the problem.

    Both of the latest dumps indicate a hardware failure, Machine Check Exception, as does the 11/2 and one of the 11/1 dumps.

    I can't find much info on it. just this so far: Bug Check 0x9C: MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION - Windows 10 hardware dev
    This may or may not be a CPU problem. Try running PRIME95 to stress the CPU, see if that forces a failure. ==================================================
    Follow this tutorial to stress test your CPU:
    Prime95 - Stress Test Your CPU - Windows 10 Forums
    If that doesn't show us anything try enabling Driver Verifier: ===================================================
    Driver Verifier
    is a diagnostic tool built into Windows 10, it is designed to verify both native Microsoft drivers and third party drivers. Driver Verifier's verification process involves putting heavy stress on drivers with the intention of making bad, outdated, incompatible or misbehaving drivers fail. The required result is a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) which will generate a crash dump for debugging purposes.
    Machines exposed to Driver Verifier will run very sluggishly due to the stress being applied to the drivers.
    Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable in Windows 10
    Pay close attention to
    PART TWO
    and make sure the correct boxes are checked.
    Warning: It is not advised to run Driver Verifier for more than 48 hours at a time. Disable Driver Verifier after 48 hours or after receiving a BSOD, whichever happens soonest.
    Always create a Restore Point prior to enabling Driver Verifier.
    What we're looking for is a BSOD with a mini dump that will tell us what driver caused it.
