Windows 10: BSOD VIDEO DXG_KRNL FATAL ERROR Appears Each Time Playing a Heavy Game

On my Asus laptop, every time I play a heavy game after being 30 minutes into it, the BSOD appears. Usually happens when the temperature of my CPU reaches 95C. The way it happens is different though, sometimes it happens outright, other times it exits the game first then 5 seconds after the BSOD appears.I've tried reinstalling my GPU drivers and doing the scf/scannow in the cmd but to no avail. I've also reinstalled my C drive which contains the OSWindows 10 but it still appears. I have never read anything about the cpu temps having to do with the error so I don't think that should be the ca

BSOD during windows update, VIDEO DXG_KRNL FATAL ERROR


Hi,

In the middle of windows update, I'm getting a BSOD with VIDEO DXG_KRNL FATAL ERROR. After this, I have to hold the power button down to power off, and when I restart it says "Restoring your previous version of windows" and then I can go back into the computer.

Because of this I can't update windows at all.

I did some reading, but couldn't find much information. Some people seem to think that this is because of a faulty graphics driver installed by windows update. So, I manually updated my graphics drivers (intel as well as nvidia), and used WUSHOWHIDE.DIAGCAB to uncheck all other updates except "Upgrade to Windows 10 Home Single Language, version 1511, 10586". Repeated windows update, still same error.

Also, this is not the first time I'm getting this error. It happened last time there was a big windows update. But that time, I disabled only the intel driver from the list of updates, and it went through fine.

I have uploaded the zip file according to instructions. Can anyone help?

 

I get BSOD multiple times a day and it says: video dxgkrnl fatal error

Everyday, my computer crashes and crashes over and over and it doesn't stop(10 times or more). I always get the blue screen of death and most of the time it says video dxgkrnl fatal error. Usually it happens when I'm playing games on steam.
