Windows 10: BSOD on new Win10 install

Hi,
I was getting BSODs on a Win10 upgrade installation every time I run DOTA; sometimes it would take 2 minutes, sometimes it would take 10minutes. It would also rarely crash randomly when I left the PC on after web browsing. Pretty much it would crash every time I use it.

I did a clean Win10 install on a new HDD to see if that was the issue, but the problems with DOTA persist just the same.

Mini dump:
Attachment 66686

Hope someone can figure out why I'm getting BSOD so frequently.

Windows 10 Upgrade BSOD, but clean install works.

I have a custom built PC with a genuine Windows 8 Install/CD/Key. I have recieved the notification that Windows 10 is ready to install. While performing the install (usually when "copying
files" is around 85-ish%), I get a BSOD (CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT). After the BSOD, Windows restores me back to my Win8 install with an error about SAFE_OS phase or something.

Anyways, I have also created a bootable Win10 installer USB using the Media Recovery tool. and successfully installed Windows 10 from scratch. But now I don't have a Win10 CD Key to
properly activate.

I have also tried upgrading to Win10 via the USB using the "Keep Nothing" option. BSOD still occurs during the "Copying files" phase.

So now I'm at a catch 22. To obtain a legit Windows 10 license, I need to upgrade from Win8 to Win10, but doing so causes BSOD and upgrade to fail. And if I clean install, I don't
get assigned a Win10 CD key.

Is there any way to acquire my free Win10 Upgrade Key so I can activate?

Thanks in advance

 

Nvidia Geforce GTX870M driver_power_state_failure

Hello,

I buyed a new gaming laptop last month, which integrate an Nvidia GTX 870M. I upgraded to Win10 and then installed all drivers but after a restart I get BSOD Driver_Power_State_Failure after 2 minutes... Reinstalled all drivers but no way... Still having
this.

I know it's my graphic card, in BSOD dump the nvlddmkm is the problem.

Hope it's not a hardware problem...

Thanks,

 

My first suggestion is to visit Windows Update and make sure your installation is up to date if you haven't, seeing you have no hotfixes installed according to the logs.






Diagnostics Test

System File Check
Please try following:

• Open an admin command prompt
• Copy/paste "sfc/scannow" (without quotes) and press enter
• When it finished reboot your system
• Open again an admin command prompt
• Enter sfc/scannow again

If sfc/scannow says "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them" after the second SFC, please upload the cbs.log file located at {windows partition}\Windows\Logs\CBS\, if the file is too large try a 3rd party uploader like dropbox, onedrive, google drive, mediafire etc.
System File Check(SFC a.k.a. Windows Resource Protection) needs to have your system rebooted in order for sfc to try to fix the problems that it finds.
