Windows 10: Constant crashes and BSOD when playing games on laptop

I'm trying to figure out if my hardware is failing or not. I've tried pretty much everything recommended but nothing works. Laptop is past warranty at this point as well.


I thought it might've just been overheating and got my laptop serviced. New thermal paste was applied and so far the overheating issues haven't happened. But since then the crashes/BSOD have been more frequent.


No matter what game I try to play it'll crash to desktop within about 5-10 minutes. Or games will freeze and I have to close them through task manager. Sometimes my laptop will just freeze and I have to do a hard reset. Worst case is getting a BSOD.


I've uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, ran memory tests, checked registry and searched for malware.


My specs:
Gigabyte P57 V7

GeForce GTX 1070

Intel i7-7700HQ

DDR4-2400 8Gx2

M.2 PCIe SSD 256G + HDD2T

BIOS FB0E

DirectX 12

Windows 10 Home 64-bit 10.0, Build 19041


The BSOD I usually get is: VIDEO_SCHEDULING_ERROR 0x119 watchdog.sys had this BSOD 5 times in the last 3 days
Or: VIDEO_DXGKRNL_LIVEDUMP 0x193 watchdog.sys


I'm pretty clueless on what to do so any help is appreciated

KernelBase.dll is broken constant BSOD's constant game crashing.

Hi Darry,

User Profile corruption is one of the possible reasons why you are experiencing constant BSOD's on your computer. You mentioned that you ran the
System File Checker (SFC) tool, but is still getting a stop code. To further troubleshoot the issue, we suggest that you create a new User Profile and check if the issue persists.

To create a user profile, follow these steps:

• Go to Settings. Click Accounts.
• Select Family & other people.
• Select the Add someone else to this PC tab.
• Name the user as Test.
• Leave the password field blank.
• Hit Next.
• Sign in as Test user.

Constant BSOD IRQL_Not_Equal_Or_Less crashes

Hello,

I've been having constant BSOD level crashes while playing video games. I suspect one or more pieces of my hardware are failing (my computer build is 7 years old now and have only replaced the GPU now and again), but I want to rule out any software issues that I can. I've done some basic troubleshooting steps like ensuring my related GPU drivers are up to date (including using DDU to uninstall and do fresh installs), but have found no success thus far.

Lately, my games (any game pretty much) will just abruptly crash to desktop with no error messages or anything. It happens inconsistently, but it will happen within half an hour.

I've attached the Log Collector to this post, if any further feedback is needed, let me know!
