Windows 10: BSOD/Green Screen While Playing Games (Debug Zip Included)

Hello, First post here I am having a BSOD/screen while playing games. it will usually "green screen" or kill the video signal completely, and will sometimes force the PC to reboot or I will have to manually reboot it.

Problem randomly started, used blue screen viewer and it says caused by "watchdog.sys" caused by address "watchdog.sys+3e1d"

Crash address
"ntoskrnl.exe+142760"

I just joined the site a few minutes ago as I could not figure this problem out.

Downloaded the "dm log collector" and followed the BSOD posting instructions, looks like it collects a bunch of files for diag'ing.

debug zip is attached.

(I have been trying chase this down for 2 weeks now.)

PC Specs
I7-3770K
12 GB RAM
DZ77GAL-70K MOBO
Windows 10 Home
AMD ASUS 380X OC'ed edition. (GPU)

Thanks in advance.

:)

 

BSOD: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

I ran the Windows 10 builtin Driver Verifier (will add this to my list of debugging tools) and BSOD occurred during the boot process. I included additional information below.

The bug check string: DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION

The problem was cause by: cmdguard.sys

Here is a zip that includes the following: mindump, memory dump, and the output of speccy:

I will get in touch with Comodo regarding this issue and await a response from them. I am doubtful that this is underlying cause but this should be fix never the less.

 

Windows 10 BSOD (driver irql, clock watchdog)

Both Drivers have now been updated. BSOD crashes are far more infrequent but the freezing/lockups/hangs, remain, and they don't provide a dump file as far as I know.

The game I was playing at the time (Rust) recovered from one of them and created a few files, including a .dmp, I will upload all of the files in a zip and maybe that will help you diagnose it. (This is the first time it has recovered from the freeze, and
actually generated anything,it normally results in a reboot)

Here is a link to the dumpfiles generated by the game: Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.

 

Please remove / disable items from the startup in taskmanager
These programs could interfere with the boot process giving you trouble and increase the boot time.

I see 2 0x119(VIDEO_SCHEDULER_INTERNAL_ERROR) in the event logs and 1 0xEA.
The 0x119 is focused on the graphics card where the 0xEA is focused on faulty hardware and drivers.

Please remove any overclocking if present and test your system.

Please uninstall everything of AMD using Display Driver Uninstaller and install new drivers from AMD. Be sure to ONLY install the display drivers using custom/advanced options.

[/quote] Hello

I forgot to add I have reinstalled the newest Crimson drivers (16.1, as current) a few times and (15.1.1 before that, it was running on 15.1.1 then the problem started happening out of the blue), completely uninstalling every driver installation via DDU.

(This is dated around 1/2/2016-1/22/2016)

Card is set at factory clocks.

Thanks

 

Thank You Axe0, looked in the drive for that file and there was two sitting there looks like DDU doesn't pick those up.

So I used AMD clean up utility, rebooted used DDU and it deleted the residual files. Rebooted again searched for that file and its gone and no more crashing (hopefully) lol. (ill open up it back up if it starts to BSOD on me again.)

Thanks
