Windows 10: Fair warning - The GPU drivers are also on a fresh install after a DDU clean

Fair warning - this is going to be a real poop show!

I'm looking to end this system BSOD'ing regularly with several different codes - Watchdog timeouts, Memory management, and probably a few others. The likely culprit based on this system's history is drivers or memory. It has a smattering of hardware which has been attached, removed, reattached, and otherwise handled in ways that strain driver integrity.

The only area I would not suspect is GPU - there will be some GPU crashing in the logs due to those being significantly overclocked when running 3DMark tests, which should be ignored. The GPU drivers are also on a fresh install after a DDU clean.

I included both the V2 Log Collector and I went ahead with a log from Driver Verifier which instantly BSOD'd startup until removed.

BSOD - Google Drive

Thanks,


(Win10 E 1903, if it matters.)

Nvidia driver problem with 940 MX on Windows 10 x64


Please make a restore point and then perform the following steps to completely remove the older driver and install the new driver. If it still does not work then we can troubleshoot.

Display Driver Uninstall Utility

Important: Pay attention to the warnings DDU gives you. If you end up hosing your system somehow, you're on your own -- They are not responsible for your goofs and will not help you fix it. Honestly this shouldn't ever be an issue but some of you folks run on pretty janky setups.

1. Download the latest version of Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU for short)
2. Download the latest driver package from your GPU manufacturer.

NVIDIA
(Change options as needed).

1. Extract DDU and Run Display Driver Uninstaller.exe.
2. Follow the prompts to reboot into Safe Mode.
3. Once in Safe Mode, DDU will launch itself automatically and you can begin the driver removal process
4. Select the appropriate driver type
5. click the "Clean and restart" button
6. After DDU is finished and you're back in normal Windows, things probably look pretty crappy! Install the GPU driver package you downloaded earlier.
7. Once the driver installation process is complete, reboot one last time.

Now you can test to see if the issue you were experiencing has been resolved.
