Windows 10: BSOD during games - crashes inconsistient and follow no pattern

HelloWhile playing games that have a higher demand on hardware, I can encounter full crashes that result in BSODs. These can sometimes happen after a few hours or after restarting, can occur within minutes. I have seen the following codes on the screen: - critical process died - unexpected store exceptionSo far I have done the following to diagnose the problems: - Multiple chkdsk scans - Multiple SFC scans - Factory reset windows keeping files - Check drivers are up to date - Reinstalled all games that cause crashing - Ran Windows Memory Diagnostic - Performed scans on SSD with no errors fou

:)

 

all games crash!

I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
What happens?
If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
What X1800XT model do you own exactly?

 

BSOD When playing games

Hi Jackson,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

Please share the information requested below:

• Does the BSOD occur while playing a particular game?
• Is the game downloaded from Windows Store?

I suggest you to update the Graphic Card drivers by following the steps provided below and check if it helps.

• Press Windows key + X, select Device Manager.
• Expand Display Adapters.
• Right click on the driver and select Update Driver Software.
• Follow the on-screen prompts to update.

Hope this helps. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

 

From BSOD to Windows Crash


We did suggest pages back to update the BIOS to 2.50, what was the reason again why you downgraded?

Please run a test on your hard drive, if there is a thing annoying it is that there are causes you wouldn't expect. In situations like this one where there is only 1 thing that triggers a BSOD, it can still happen for various of reasons. Though it can be very difficult to diagnose, it is easier to rule things out.
To sum it up what we've done until now:
There are many memory BSODs you've had,

• Driver verifier results in the same drivers no matter what version,
• RAM test does not show any problem,
• Reseating the memory doesn't change anything,
• As far as I understood it is not a software/driver conflict or something.
• Other games do not cause any problem, and I assume other games may be using as much or more VRAM as the game causing BSODs.

One other thing I can think of that causes memory crashes is the hard drive, that is why I suggest a hard drive diagnostics test.
