Windows 10: BSOD Caused by nvlddmkm.sys

I'm not sure where to put this, since most of my issues are non-BSOD issues, but I feel like they are related.

I just recently built a new computer, and besides a monitor I had to send for repairs, it was working fine until I upgraded the PSU, added a second graphics card with NVLink SLI, and added a Samsung 970 Pro. The issues started off with Windows thinking there was something wrong with the graphics drivers. Upon booting into Linux, it would state the NVLink was unlinked and only one graphics card would show up (the second one I put in). The issue continues to happen until I power off the computer completely, turn off and on the switch on the PSU, and restart the computer.

After having that issue a few times, I upgraded the BIOS and drivers on Windows, and while it was idling earlier today, I got a BSOD, namely SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED caused by nvlddmkm.sys. The computer hit 100% on collecting info and froze, forcing me to hit the reset button. I later tried checking for RAM issues via a test Windows provides, and that too froze. I reset the computer, checked BIOS settings, and upon saving and exiting, another freeze. I shut down the computer and did the same thing I did to "fix" the NVLink issue from before. Computer is working fine so far, but I'm certain I will continue to have issues.

Basically, I'm wondering what the likely cuplrit(s) are.

I ran the Beta log collector just in case you need it: HOME-(2019-03-20_22-44-48).zip

wdf01000.sys and ntoskrnl.exe BSOD

I'm on Windows 10, 64bit

Basically, whenever I try to update my LPC controller through Device Manager, BSOD with WDF_VIOLATION occurs (culprit being wdf01000.sys)

So I try to use the driver verifier to see which driver is causing the BSOD, but then it causes BSOD (cultprit being ntoskrnl.exe)

Have no idea which driver is causing them

Please help!

Here are my list of drivers and system info: Documents

Hi Asellia,

Welcome to the 10forums.


What driver versions have you tried currently for your graphics?
If it is the newest version, 361.43, try rolling back the drivers.

Daemon tools, Alcohol 120% and Power Archiver Pro uses SCSI Pass Through Direct (SPTD), which is a well known cause for BSOD's.
Please remove Daemon Tools and run the SPTD pass through remover.

1. Uninstall Daemon Tools
2. Download the SPTD standalone installer and follow these steps:
   • Double click the executable to open it
   • Click on the button shown below

If the button is grayed out, like in the image, there is no more SPTD installation on your system, and you can close the window

 

BSOD - driver_irql_not_less_or_equal (l1c63x64.sys)

Hi Seung,

Sorry for the inconvenience caused by BSOD - driver_irql_not_less_or_equal (l1c63x64.sys).

Please let us know the make/model of your computer.

The L1C63x64.sys is the Atheros LAN driver and I would suggest to uninstall and reinstall the Atheros LAN driver but install the latest Atheros LAN driver by visiting the manufacture's website and avoid using any LAN driver available though Windows Update.

However the problem could also be with any VPN software and other software so make sure you have the latest version of each of these software.

If the errors continue uninstall the VPN software and check if the issue persist.

Hope this helps. Get back to us for further queries for BSOD - driver_irql_not_less_or_equal (l1c63x64.sys). We are happy to help!
