Windows 10: Diagnosing recent BSOD Cause

Hello,


I have been getting several BSODs lately. I ran verifier as per these instructions.

When verifier was causing the crashes, the error was DRIVER_VERIFIED_DETECTED_VIOLATION but it did not specify what driver was causing the crash.



Here is a OneDrive link to my three most recent .DMP files in the minidump folder

Here are my system specs:

Can someone please help me diagnose what is causing this issue and how to fix it? Much appreciated!

:)

 

Diagnosing the cause of recent BSODs: Possibly my 9600GT card?

Hi everyone.

For about the past three weeks, I have suddenly been experiencing a large number of BSODs. For the past three-four years of me using my computer, I may have only seen two. But this sudden onslaught seems to indicate something going amiss.

The most recent BSOD included nv4_disp.dll as part of the error, which indicates to me that the graphics card may have been causing these. In detail, the BSOD read:

nv4_disp.dll

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA 0x00000050 (0xC0916E7C, ...)

At the moment I'm running a benchmark with Furmark, while monitoring various vitals with GPU-Z. I average about 12 FPS, so the card has to be working hard, (99% GPU load, about 53% memory controller load), but what's weird is, the only fan that ends up working harder is my CPU fan. The graphics card fan speed never changes, and I'm pretty sure it should change automatically, with the GPU temperature rising from 51 degrees C to 59 degrees C over the stress testing period.

Furmark has been running for about 9 minutes now, and it just doesn't seem to be pushing my card hard enough. I can't seem to force my computer to BSOD :S (By the way, these BSODs have been occuring pretty much randomly, from me logging in one day, to my sister playing the Sims 3 the next day.)

So I'm hoping someone may be able to help me with first targeting the issue, then solving it.

Thanks!

P.S. Here's some system info:

• Windows XP Home SP3
• 2GB system memory
• ECS GeForce 9600 GT w/ 1GB, at stock speeds: 650 MHz core clock, 900 MHz Mem clock, 1.6GHz shader clock
• Intel Core 2 Duo Dual Core @ 2.33GHz
• Maximum temperature achieved on GPU while stress testing: 50 degrees C
• BIOS version: 62.94.3C.00.65
• Driver: 6.14.12.5721 (FWare 257.21)

EDIT: Just noticed, I have my Shared underclocked, 25 MHz under the default clock speed. I was using nTune at one point, but it's been gone for awhile now.

BSOD Hardware Caused???

they do weird things like that, which all seem like something else is failing.
One of the worst things to diagnose, they seem to only quit when they want to.

Memtest is a good next step, if you rule out RAM and Power Supply make sure you disconnect all unnecessary peripherals and try to start the system with as little hardware as possible, if it works then, you can narrow down the culprit by trial and error.

the follow was taken from some website:

It's very difficult to determine if a failure is caused by the CPU because many other components can cause the same symptom when they fail.

1. System fails to boot
2. System re-boots intermittently
3. General Protection Fault
4. Illegal Operation
5. Stop Error, or BSoD (Blue Screen OfDeath)

Actually, CPUs rarely fail, and about the only way to determine if the CPU is causing the failure is to swap it out with a known working CPU of the same type and speed. Since this is difficult, the best bet is to first rule out every other possibility.

Before suspecting the CPU, rule out all the possibilities listed below.

1. The Operating System
2. A peripheral port device
3. A bad memory module
4. The hard disk drive
5. The power supply
6. The motherboard

If you have ruled out out all the other possibilities, investigate the items listed below.

1. Overheating
2. A short circuit
3. ESD
