Windows 10: Bugcheck BSOD while gaming

Hi...
again *Smile

So while I was gaming in Star Citizen and having GPU-Z running in background, the game froze and I got BSOD with the message:
CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT

So I opened the .dmp file and this is what I got:

EDIT: I have one theory. I saw in event viewer the WHEA warning as well... my current theory is that I run a 3.5GHz Ivy Bridge which is overclocked to 4.5GHz. BUT, yesterday I went to my BIOS settings and decided to ENABLE C3, C6 and C state package. I believe they are not desirable with OC CPUs. So I just disabled them but I still have C1E state set to enabled.
Also, I do not OC my GPU.
All my components are water cooled, both GPU's and CPU.
The Ivy bridge Core i7 3770K, is delidded and I used Cool Laboratory LiquidUltra thermal paste, so temps are not an issue with my current beast of cooling system (3 huge radiators and plenty of fans).

Additionally, this happened while playing Star Citizen, which currently only utilize CPU more over GPU for graphics and since my C states were enabled, probably this caused a conflict.

I'll have to retry this...

Windows 10 BSODs

I've experienced three BSODs for the second day in a row. The first stated:

• The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000139 (0x0000000000000003, 0xfffff802225dc9f0, 0xfffff802225dc948, 0x0000000000000000).

The second stated:

• The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000139 (0x0000000000000003, 0xffffd000b8eed5a0, 0xffffd000b8eed4f8, 0x0000000000000000)

And the third stated:

• The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000139 (0x0000000000000003, 0xffffd001c93da5a0, 0xffffd001c93da4f8, 0x0000000000000000)

These occurred while I was gaming, so is it a gpu driver issue?

 

Windows 10 Crashes without BSOD

My PC Tends to crash without having any BSOD, without doing any sortof intensive task. It will sometimes crash when browsing, and sometimes crash while playing a game. I viewed the event viewer and had one critical error but coulden't figure out what it
was. I then looked at Reliability Monitor and got this error:

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000019 (0x000000000000000e, 0xffffe00017f58b00, 0x0000000000000000, 0x4abf1fd2b101e071). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 121315-11484-01.

Please help .-.

 

Warning Programs that claim to update your drivers install either the wrong or corrupted drivers.
If you have installed any driver with Driver Booster 3, please remove them as it may cause trouble.

Remove the OC'ing as first step and second step is: update your Intel Rapid Storage Technology drivers or remove the related software.

1. How/where did you get that from???
2. Is this driver required for SSD drives? or required at all?
3. searching the intel website, I'm not sure which is the correct one for me.

EDIT: Correction my CPU is @ 4.7Ghz. I disabled the C states except C1E.
I ran Prime95 with blend mode and RAM usage of 13.5GB and 15min FFT for 7 hours with no issues.
I then ran Aida64 benchmark stress test for 1 hour and no issues.

 

1. Which part do you mean? Driver Booster 3 or the Intel part?
2. The software isn't, but the drivers are which I notice appear to be likely in the chipset drivers which are currently in the BETA for Windows 10.

See answer 2

 

I found one here:
Station-Drivers - P8Z77-V DELUXE

Version 12.8.20.1002 (Win-7/8/8.1)
but not win 10

Would you recommend that?

 

Recommended is to install the drivers ASUS provides, no other unless it is directly from the company providing the driver.

 

it's strange because I'm getting a message "A new version is already installed. Are you sure you want to downgrade?"

That's from the Chipset_Win10_V10117 driver I downloaded form Asus.

 

From where did you download the current installed version?

 

from Station-Drivers - NEWS

 

That explains it, download the drivers from ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Driver & Tools - P8Z77-V DELUXE
for your motherboard. Download no beta, if any driver is beta then download an older version.

 

wouldn't downloading Win8.1 drivers to Win10 be a problem?

 

Not always, reverting back isn't always bad.

 

Ok I'll revert back.
Do you also recommend to revert the Intel MEI back to Win81.?

Lastly, what is Intel Rapid Start? Will this enable faster boot times?


Update 1: I installed the Chipset driver of Win8.1 and restarted the PC.
The iaStorA.sys in System32 folder is the same version as previously also installed Intel_RAID_Win8-1_VER12801016 which is the Win8.1 version of iaStorA.sys

What does this driver do? I don't know.
Are you sure the Win10 beta drivers are not safe?

Update 2:
