    Please continue testing all drivers with windows driver verifier.
    If there are no longer any BSOD with the current test settings please increase the testing parameters per the earlier post.

    I continued with testing, and got a BSOD today. This happened right after adding a new parameter.

    This was the actual parameter list. "DMA checking" was the latest addition.
    Attachment 169916

    After adding DMA checking, I restarted the PC.
    Windows booted normally, and I entered my password at the logon screen.
    Windows continued and about 5 seconds later, the BSOD appeared. (I forgot the error code.)

    I rebooted and got into windows normally. I reset verifier and rebooted again. Then I ran DM_collector.
    Attached is the new ZIP.

    The misbehaving drivers were the AMD graphics drivers:
    atikmpag.sys
    atikmdag.sys

    It will be trial and error to find a stable driver.
    Please make note of each driver model/date as you try them.

    Uninstall using DDU
    Check the box for "clean install"
    Install only the graphics driver.

    Thanks for your instructions.
    I have tried a number of drivers in the AMD list, but windows refuses to install most of them.
    I was only able to install 3 drivers:

    To be precise:

    tested drivers:
    amd-catalyst-15.7.1-win10-64bit ---> tested, games "dungeons2" and "dungeons3" freezes occasionally (current installed drivers)
    amd non-whql-win10-64bit-radeon-software-crimson-relive-16.2.1-sep20 --> tested, games "dungeons2" and "dungeons3" freezes occasionally
    amd whql-win10-64bit-radeon-software-crimson-16.10.1-oct13 ---> tested for a very short time. Driver could not do 1920 x 1200 resolution (max was 1600x1200), so no real option.

    win10 refused to install the drivers below:
    amd Catalyst Software Suite 13.9_win7_win8_32_dd_ccc_whql
    amd whql-64bit-radeon-software-crimson-16.1.1-win10-win8.1-win7-feb12
    amd radeon-crimson-16.6.2-with-dotnet45-win7-32bit
    Gigabyte vga_driver_amd_vista(win7)_8.82

    With 15.7.1 installed (conform above instruction), I continued with driver verifier.
    I just switched to these settings below (I added the lowest checkmark), when I got a BSOD right after rebooting:
    Attachment 171553

    I turned verifier off (after a reboot)
    Then rebooted again, ran DM-Collecter and attached the zip.

    If you don't conclude something else, I assume it simply is the videocard being (too) old in combination with old drivers for windows 10 and new games. The result is then compatibility issues that may arise in some (newer) games....(?)

    So far the graphics card driver was not found in the latest BSOD mini dump.
    There was 1 BSOD mini dump file with bugcheck A.
    Debugging this file displayed 1 new misbehaving software driver: FSgk.sys
    Uninstall this software (see if they have an uninstall tool so that the AV product is removed from the registry)

    With the ongoing troubleshooting with AMD graphics it would be best to use Windows defender during the troubleshooting process.
    If the VPN feature is needed see if you can find an alternative product or wait 2 weeks to have a stable computer environment before reinstalling the software.

    f-secure gatekeeper	F-Secure Gatekeeper	\??\c:\program files (x86)\safe online\apps\computersecurity\anti-virus\minifilter\fsgk.sys	Kernel Driver	Yes	Manual	Running	OK	Ignore	No	Yes

    OK. I installed the anti-virus software yesterday, but removed it now. I used the normal uninstall option in "windows settings - apps".
    I will continue with verifier now.

    I bought a new graphics card (MSI Geforce GTX 770) yesterday, and installed it with the newest drivers from Nvidia.
    (390.65-desktop-win10-64bit-international-whql, jan 2018)

    After succesfull installation, I turned on Verifier and got a BSOD during booting with the error message "Driver verifier iomanager violation"

    The DM log file is attached.

    Could you advise in the next step?

    How is the new graphics car performing?

    There was 1 BSOD mini dump file.
    The debugging displayed: ctxusbm.sys Citrix ICA Client USB Monitor Driver
    Updating a driver: Updating a driver. - Microsoft Community

    After the driver is fixed or for any other computer problems run this version of the log collector and post a zip into the thread:
    log collector v2-beta06.zip



    Code:
    ctxusbm    Citrix USB Monitor Driver    c:\windows\system32\drivers\ctxusbm.sys    Kernel Driver    Yes    System    Running    OK    Normal    No    Yes

    The new graphics card is way faster than the old one.

    3Dmark test with old card:
    Attachment 172579

    new card:
    Attachment 172580

    I notice that my 'dungeons3' game is running more smoothly now.
    (But the game froze once when I exit the game back to desktop...)

    I use Citrix Receiver to work from home to acces my corporate account and workplace. It is a web-based application (as far as I now).
    I had this version installed and I uninstalled it:
    Attachment 172584

    I downloaded the newest version with the link provided (see below), but did not install it yet. I will do so later, as soon as I need it.
    Attachment 172578

    I hope this is OK and it fixes the Citrix USB driver that was malfunctioning.
    I did not expect Citrix to have need for a USB driver, and I cannot link Citrix to any hardware installed on my PC. But I must admit, I also didn't search for it in device manager.

    I ran the new log collector. See attached.
    If I need to do it differently, please advise.

    The mini and memory dumps have disappeared.

    Open system control panel > advanced system settings > startup and recovery > settings > post an image into the thread.
    In system properties advanced tab under performance > click on settings > on performance options click on the advanced tab > under virtual memory click on change > post an image of the virtual memory windows into the thread

    Open Ccleaner > windows tab > scroll down > post an image into the thread.

    In the left lower corner search type clean > open disk cleanup > scroll up and down > post images into the thread.
