Windows 10: Found the Solution to random Old games and new games crashing to BSOD while playing on...

I was playing Red Dead Redemption 2 on Vulkan API and it randomly crashed to a BSOD quite some times and still does so what I did was changed it to DirectX 12 and it didnt crash to a BSOD and was stable the entire time on all cpu cores enabled and that got me thinking of doing some crash research. I finally crashed one last time yesterday and I found the Event Viewer for reporting errors in windows 10 and came across a driver error. Upon further investigation i found that secdrv.sys driver was failing to load do to DRM Digital Rights Management so I put one and one together. Theres either a code on the operating system side thats denying full capability for Vulkan API to be stable without crashes. I believe fixing this code error or finding it will fix the one and only BSOD we all have been experiencing while playing our favorite games on Vulkan API. This is a great breakthrough for developement I came across last night. Thank you for reading. Hope this helps not only me but you too.

Gaming and Random Crashes.


Hi,

After some research and failing to find any solution i`ve decided to find help, have a gaming laptop (don`t judge me) and it used to work pretty well, until the latest Witcher expansion, i would be gettting a DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION everytime i tried to start the game, some driver updates later and now i`m randomly getting the same BSOD so far i've tried.

• Updating GPU Driver.
• DDU the Drivers and do a clean install.
• running sfc/scannow

Unfortunately my internet time is limited and i couldn`t find any more steps.

Any help would be appreciatted, and sorry for the bad english.

Hi Pranav,

Haven't seen you in a long time.

I have made a short summary a few pages back for myself, on the 5th page, post 123

It is likely not 100% up to date.
