Windows 10: BSOD while idle/gaming/re-installing windows, mostly 0x000000d1

I've got a pretty decent pc (will post specs if needed), and since like 3 months after i bought it, i had these BSoDs: kmode_exception_not_handled, DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL I went to the store with a request to fix it, they told me they haven't found anything, but the Blue Screens came back... and so the cycle repeated for something like 5 times. And then, for awhile, it ran with no problems. But recently(1.5 years after purchase), it returned. I tried updating drivers, ran memtest (nothing found), ran verifier(found faulty drivers, uninstalled, but the problem persisted), re-installed windows, but it was crashing while i was installing it. I'm pretty sure that it's no physical damage.
Please, if anyone can help, i'll be really thankful. I'm really hopelessAttachment 136330

Blue screen error of death Error BSOD IRQL_DRIVER_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Hello and thank you for replying. my graphics card drivers are all up to date and windows is up to date too. If I recall correctly the BSOD had the code "0x000000d1". Would this change anything? I also checked my wi fi adapter drivers, my ethernet drivers,
and sound drivers and they were all up to date. I also updated a few other drivers and some chipset family ones in the system devices section. The thing with this BSOD is that it only happens sometimes and only when gaming after a while, or it may not show
up at all.

just had a 3 hour gaming session without a single bsod.

i dont wanna jinx it but maybe replacing the thermalpaste was the solution since the cpu temperature readings were , while idle, all over the place.

Since u uninstalled/reinstalled drivers theres maybe a problem with the GPU. But first please check if theres a newer version of the nvidia driver, or roll back to an older version. As u can see the nvidia driver crashes and the bsod dumps show an driver problem. But it could be the the GPU is defective an causes the driver to crash (overheating). U should perform a GPU test:

Run FurMark - GPU Stress Test - Windows 10 Forums







Warning Your GPU temperatures will rise quickly while Furmark is running. Keep a keen eye on them and abort the test if overheating occurs.

 

For how long should I do this test? And I had no updates.

 

as long as u want. 30 minutes or so. But check the temps. Everything is explained here:

FurMark - GPU Stress Test Windows 10 Performance Maintenance Tutorials

 

I ran it, the temperature didn't rise above 58C

 

can u provide the complete memory dump? It can be found under C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. Its a big file, maybe u can upload it on dropbox or onedrive.

Again it seems the culprit is GPU driver or GPU itself. There a just three options for that: Install a newer version from nvidia driver or roll back to an older one. Replace the GPU to test if the problem persists. Try the second PCIe Slot on your mainboard if it has one.
Use DDU for reinstalling the GPU driver.

Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a small software that can help the user to uninstall the display driver from the users PC. It can uninstall the driver for all the lead display chip developers, viz. Nvidia, AMD and Intel.

I also rolled back the driver to a pretty old version, also didn't work. I don't have a spare GPU to replace it, so I haven't tried that one. I don't really know how to switch to the second PCIe slot, so if I could get some instructions, that would be awesome. BTW, my motherboard: h110m-k by asus
P.S.: For some reason, no more than 5 dumps are saved... the drive has plenty of space, so I don't know what may cause that.

 

Your board only has one PCIE16 slot.

 

So is there nothing that I can do, but replacing the GPU?

 

Have you tried older versions of the Nvidia driver?

 

Yes
