Windows 10: Daily BSOD windows 11

My computer has been getting a BSOD almost daily. Usually happens when I'm playing the following games/apps: Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, Wuthering waves, Capcut.Here's what I've tried to do to resolve it.- Uninstall nvidia drivers and install older and more stable versions- Uninstall nvidia drivers and reinstall latest versionsI've been told by 3 different people on this website already to re-install my nvidia driver, so I am really looking for some other answers.Yesterday it happened 3 times, twice in the same hour while trying to launch genshin impact.I have attached the minidump files

Windows 11 BSODs

I've been having multiple daily BSODs that reference ntoskrnl.exe. I've not been able to narrow down the root cause, and have been trying for a few months.

I've researched the typical causes, and have followed the steps commonly outlined:

1. Driver Updates: Drivers are updated.
   
2. BIOS updated and is current
   
3. Ran a scan with the Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool: All ok
   
4. Ran Memtest86: All ok
   
5. Ran the System File Checker (SFC)/CHKDSK: All ok
   
6. SFC / DISM: All ok
   
7. Driver Verifier - ran this but the generated BSOD didn't provide more intel.
   
8. No over-clocking present
   

My dump files: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1l6O-f08RMwibjuT61OTXp6Amq2rEDLgs?usp=sharing

Symptoms:

1. Randomly timed BSODs. Some generate dumps (see link above), some do not. No particular actions seem to trigger them - often they happen overnight.

2. Daily periods (generally in the AM) of instability. Apps crash (and re-open after a few tries), browsers get a "Status Access Violation" error, services crash and restart (e.g., Indexing, etc.), etc.

3. After such a period, I'll often go for several hours with no issues. It seems that there is something that happens in the background but only during certain times of the day.

4. I cannot apply the latest W11 Cumulative Update. It applies to about 20%, restarts, BSODs (System Thread Exception), and then restarts to the "Something went wrong" error and back to Windows without update applied.

My specs are:

- 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900K

- RAM: 64.0 GB

- Windows 11 22621.1702

- Asus Z790 Maximus Hero motherboard (BIOS 1402)

- Video: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, Driver version 537.58 (current as of 10/15/23)

I assume I have a problematic driver somewhere in the mix, and I've spent months trying to hunt it down. Any suggestions are appreciated!

 

Daily BSOD

Hello,

I am getting a BSOD every day around the same time (4-5 AM) for the past week or two. For your convenience, I have uploaded the Minidumps here: MemDumps

What I have tried:

• Updating all drivers
  
• Upgrading to Windows 11
  
• Memtest (came back clean)
  
• verifier (put me in a BSOD loop, suspecting a driver could be the issue here)
  
• Uninstall programs
  
• Removing peripherals
  

I'm getting errors from BlueScreenView on the following (these vary depending on the BSOD):

• ntoskrnl.exe
  
• WdFilter.sys
  
• Wdf01000.sys
  
• vhf.sys
  

The dumps from 4/15/24 are the most recent. The ones from 4/14/24 (showing WdFilter, Wdf01000, and vhf) are all from running verifier

I can provide specs if needed. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

 

BSOD DPC_Watchdog_Violation daily

Those steps are not relevant to me. In those steps it asks to check the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers for iastore.sys in the listed drivers.

I do not have iastore as a driver nor is that the files causing the BSOD.

The driver that is causing it (I got this from BlueScreenView) is nvstore.sys which is listed as the driver for three identical items in 'storage controllers' There are 4 items there. 3 of them are called NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA Controller. Those three
all list this nvstore.sys as their driver.

I suspect that if I could replace or fix that driver it would solve the issue based on the advice given by Annanya. Does that sound right? If so, how would I go about it?
