    BSOD: Only crashes when playing games


    Hi I have been having issues with my PC crashing to a BSOD only while playing games both cpu and gpu intensive, mostly Divinity: Original sin 2, EU4, and subnautica, . I have reinstalled a clean windows from a bootable USB, updated all drivers, and stress tested my cpu, gpu, and Ram, using Memtest86, cinebench, and furmark with no issues. I have also installed the latest AMD chipset from AMD. Any help would be much appreciated.

    My computer
    Cpu: AMD Ryzen 5 3600
    Mobo: Gigabyte x570 Aorus Pro Wifi rev 1.x
    Ram: G.skill Ripjaws DDR4 3200Mhz 8gbx2
    GPU: RTX 2060
    OS: Win 10 Education version 1909 build 18363.778

    BSODs

    Driver_IRQL_Not_Less_Or_Equal

  2. 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.

    Refer the link below for more information:

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

    BSOD while playing War Thunder

    Hi,



    Thank you for replying.



    When you say, “performed a clean boot but the game still crashed” did you receive a BSOD error or only the game crashed with an error message?



    Instead of wiping the AMD graphics drivers from the computer, you can try disabling the AMD graphics drivers and check if you are able to play the game. Please refer the steps mentioned below:



    1. Press Windows key + X, and select
      Device Manager.
    2. Expand Display adapters.
    3. Right click on the AMD graphics driver and select
      Disable Device.
    4. Try playing the game now.


    Let us know the results, we will be glad to help you further.



    Regards,

    Nikhar Khare

    BSOD: Only crashes when playing games

    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?
