Windows 10: 0x00000119 BSOD only in Fallout 4.

Hello, i have recently been getting the most inexplicable error when playing Fallout 4. For whatever reason sometimes when i am playing it my game will have a suddenly huge spike in fps, dropping from 60 to 5-10, and the audio will distort terribly. If i alt tab and wait a few seconds the game will restore itself back to normal, if i do not it will freeze the system, and upon rebooting i will see the 0x00000119 bsod in the event log. The peculiar thing is this issue seems to also be tied to my save file itself somehow, starting a new game this problem is completely absent but rises in frequency the longer i play after a certain point which seems to be 16+ hours on the save file. I have no idea if this is because of the game or possibly the game is somehow taxing certain parts of the computer more than others. I have not had this issue at all with any other games, or casual usage. The actual load in the game seems irrelevant as well as i have had the fps spike in both demanding outdoors locations and small interiors with very little actual load. I have played other fairly intensive games such as Deus Ex Mankind Divided and they have not had anything similar to the issues i am getting in Fallout. I am currently using the newest Nvidia drivers 372.70.

I have tried various things to see if i could find out the cause of the problem or to resolve it, but nothing has really worked.
First i tried Furmark/CPU Burner at about 30m of each, with neither of them causing any problems. The temperatures were about the lower 50's max on the CPU and 70-80 for the GPU.
I also tried doing a clean uninstall and reinstall of the older 368.39 Nvidia drivers using DDU and safemode, but the only difference that made was with the old driver instead of lagging into a possible BSOD, it would just BSOD (same 0x00000119 BSOD).
Running SFC/Scannow, the intel processor diagnostic, as well as HD health utilities found no problems.
I moved the entire Fallout 4 installation to another hard drive but that did not fix it either.
The computer itself is relatively new, only about a month old.
I am a bit scared if this is just a problem with the game software; although admittedly i am unsure how it can crash the entire pc the way it does, or if it's just this specific game/situation highlighting a possible hardware problem that just nothing else is for now.

I ran DPC Latency Checker and it seems during the fps spikes the latency will spike from 1500 μs to 100,000.
The computer is running at stock settings on the cpu and gpu.
The power supply is a 500w FSP 1U unit.

Fallout 4 BSOD Windows 10

Hi,

Check with others playing Fallout4 to see if this is a known issue.

Set it to factory specs until it is running right.

It may not help however post the minidump so we can analyze it.

(Heat related does not always mean excessive heat as a component can be too sensitive to even the normal levels of heat.) Check the processor, heat sink, and the compound between them.

Check the fans and even add extra to see if that helps.

Video card along with memory can be in play here.

Hi,

Be sure to contact the game's Support and Forums about any known issues as the game could be causing the issue.

====================================================



1. Suspect hardware - maybe video or memory however that is not a sure bet.

Remove ALL power then reseat the cards memory and cables (on both ends when possible) - actually remove and replace - do not just snug. Clean out the dust bunnies and clear the vents. Ensure the fans are working. Try adding a small fan blowing into the intake
to reduce the effects of heat. (Heat related does not always mean excessive heat as a component can be too sensitive to even the normal levels of heat.) Check the processor, heat sink, and the compound between them.

2. Check the memory very thoroughly. Keep in mind that memory tests do not detect all errors such as the tiny speed differences between memory modules that appear to be identical. So it may be necessary to swap the modules in and out in different
combinations and patterns. (See memory test methods below).

3. Check with your video card/device maker's support and forums - update drivers.

4. In needed run Driver Verifier to see if it can indicate a CAUSE (see Driver Verifier methods below).

5. As needed use ALL the other methods in the troubleshooter below.

=======================================================

Have you added any hardware lately? Main likely culprits are hardware, major drivers, memory, and antivirus/antispyware/security products could be at fault.

BCCode: 101 0x00000101

BCCode: 101 0x00000101 <-- read this link

A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval.



BCCode: 101 0x00000101 <-- read this link

Bug Check 0x101 CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT
==================================================

This utility makes it easy to see which versions are loaded :

Run DriverView - set VIEW to Hide Microsoft drivers - update those without

Dump in their names (and update BIOS and chipset).

DriverView - Free - utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded

on your system. For each driver in the list, additional useful information is

displayed: load address of the driver, description, version, product name,

company that created the driver, and more.

DriverView: Loaded Windows Drivers List



For Drivers check System Maker as fallbacks and Device Maker's which are the

most current. Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - write down

the make and complete model of your video adapter - double click - Driver's

tab - write down the version info. Now click UPdate Driver (this may not do

anything as MS is far behind certifying drivers) - then Right Click - Uninstall -

REBOOT this will refresh the driver stack.

Repeat that for Network - Network Card (NIC), Wifi, Sound, Mouse and Keyboard

if 3rd party with their own software and drivers and any other major device drivers

you have.

Now go to System Maker's site (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (as rollback) and

then Device Maker's site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI as examples) and get their

latest versions. (Look for BIOS, Chipset, and software updates at System Maker's

site while there.)

Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - Right Click - RUN AD ADMIN -

REBOOT after each installation.

Always check in Device Manager - Drivers tab to be sure the version you are

installing actually shows up. This is because some drivers rollback before the

latest is installed (sound drivers particularly do this) so install a driver - reboot

- check to be sure it is installed and repeat as needed.

Repeat at Device Makers - BTW at Device Makers DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER -

heck manually by model.

Manually look at manufacturer's sites for drivers - and Device Maker's sites.

How to Find and Download Drivers


====================================================

Memory tests do not catch all errors such as mismatched memory (possible even

for sticks that appear to be identical) and when faster memory is placed in system

behind slower memory. So it is best to also swap sticks in and out to check for

those even if all memory tests fail to show a problem.

To test RAM check here - let it run 4+ hours or so. <-- best method

www.memtest.org

MemTestX86 - Test RAM With

MemTest86+ - Test RAM

For the Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool.

Type in Cortana's search box -> Windows Memory Diagnostics

at top of list - click it. in Windows 8/8.1/10 the name is "Windows Memory

Diagnostic".



================================================

After doing ALL the updates you can, and if the issue continues, then run

DriverVerifier. (Remember to use the Windows 8/8.1 methods posted at the

top of the original reply above.)

Driver Verifier can help find some BSOD issues :

Use BlueScreenView to see if there is a driver specified in the error message.

Also check with MyEventViewer at the time of the BlueScreen.

If DriverVerifier creates a minidump upload it and post the link here so we can

analyze it.

Hope this helps.

Hi BobLeSaget,

Welcome to the 10forums *Smile

I assume you haven't overclocked your CPU, GPU or RAM?

Does this problem also occur on other games? If you've mentioned this, I'm sorry but I have missed that part *Sad

 

CPU RAM and GPU are all on stock. I have not had this issue on any other game or benchmark utility as of yet.

 

Alright, usually with game specific issues it's not a hardware problem but rather a game setting causing it, or game bug or driver bug.

Just to ensure that there is no software conflict with the drivers, please use following instructions when clean installing the drivers

 

One of the first things i tried was using DDU and reverting back to an older driver, but all the succeeded in doing was having the game cause a bsod instead of the lag/audio distortion into a BSOD. When i went back to the newest drivers 372.70 i got back the lag/audio distortion where i get time to alt-tab before BSOD. Another random thing that i forgot to list was, i had actually been playing the game a fair bit prior to 9/5 (when i first saw the issue) with the same settings but the problem had never shown before.

 

I'm aware of it yes, but I would ask you to follow my post completely in regards to the customized installation of the install setup.

 

I see, well i'll try the driver install again but this time using the newest drivers.

 

Keep me posted on how it goes *Smile

 

Might be a bit before i can really test as i will be out of town for a week or so, and the problem itself is really random when it shows.

 

No problem, take the time needed *Smile

 

Well for a time i had the problem under control for a time i am unsure if it is due to new nvidia driver or bios update or what not, but it seems after windows forced its anniversary update on me the problem has returned. Maybe this is due to it also having messed with my gfx drivers, i am unsure. I ran the DPC latency monitor and it seems to confirm the problematic driver is dxgkrnl.sys

Did a clean install of the 372.90 drivers with DDU again so we'll see how that goes. I suspect that the windows update screwed with my driver installation somehow as geforce experience showed that for w/e reason it downgraded my drivers from 372.90 to the 368.39 drivers.

I managed to find http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/w...8-48a67819472d
The author seems to basically have the same issue i have with a nearly identical system setup. It makes me a bit wary if anything i can do will fix it or if this is just some severe issue with the gfx card+operating system.

 

Keep me posted on the situation *Smile

 

Something peculiar recently happened. I was browsing reddit on firefox and while i was scrolling part of the screen had a sudden horizontal distortion but it quickly went away after i switched tabs back and forth. I'm not sure if this is significant but it is a bit ominous.
