BSOD after Overwatch crashed, caused by win32kbase.sys
I just built a new PC with and it's been error free for the last few days. However today after installing the new Nvidia drivers for my 1070 I had Overwatch crash on me and then shortly after that the PC BSOD. The only thing that has changed on my PC since the last time I played Overwatch(lasy night) was those drivers so I'm thinking they may be the cause and I will DDU and reinstall after I post this and try the game again.
Since I restarted from the BSOD I haven't been able to cause another BSOD however Overwatch has crashed several times, normally 5-10 minutes after I start playing.
Temps are all fine, the i7 6700k is being cooled by a Cryorig H5 Universal max temp 62c and my EVGA 1070SC hit 75c(stock fan curve is a little low).
I did manage to look at the minidump and see that WinDbg seems to be pointing the cause at win32kbase.sys but I've got no idea what to even make of that.
I'll update this post after I reinstall the drivers and maybe roll back if they continue.
EDIT: Yeah, BSOD after I shut down Battle.net and a few other programs before I planned to DDU. This time the cause is being pointed at ntkrnlmp.exe. Went ahead and disabled a few things from startup as well.
