Windows 10: If you're looking for a challenge: what's causing my BSOD

Lately I've been getting BSOD's. When it first started it showed me the actual blue screen with the error message: VIDEO_SCHEDULER_INTERNAL_ERROR. Now, my screen freezes up and even though I can't see anything, a .dmp still gets created. The reports always include a mention of dxgmms2.sys and watchdog.sys at the same address. Sometimes another file like dxgkrnl.sys is also involved.

What I've done to fix this:
- Updated my BIOS
- Did a fresh reinstall three times, on two separate SSD's
- Memtest for about 5 hours (0 errors)
- A lot of (nvidia) driver installing and removing
While this has been happening for about a month now, I did upgrade some of my hardware in the past 2 months.
I went from a two monitor setup to an ultrawide and I switched out my (off-brandish cheap) RAM for some pretty nice 2x8GB sticks (with a higher clock speed). The only thing I can think of is that the upgrade in RAM is somehow causing this, but I fail to see how, since it passes memtest and should easily be an upgrade in all aspects (my research showed it was compatible as well).

My specs:
- B350 PC MATE motherboard
- Ryzen 2200G CPU
- 1060 6GB (I believe EVGA)
- 16GB corsair vengeance LTX (two 8GB sticks)
- Somewhat decent 550W power supply (can't easily see)
- A kingston SSD (64GB)
- A Sandisk SSD (256GB)
Here's a link to some minidumps as well, in case it might help:
dmps.zip - Google Drive

I figured an actual .dmp file might help as well:
MEMORY.zip - Google Drive

Log collector:
DESKTOP-9KDD5O7-(2019-10-06_17-03-07).zip

The only thing I might still be able to resort to is switch out my RAM for new sticks, since I don't have the old ones available anymore. I honestly don't know what else I could do. I Really hope someone here could help me and would greatly appreciate any help you might be able to offer. Thanks in advance!

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

 

Random BSOD while browsing internet


BitDefender is nothing special. mwac.sys causes BSODs anywhere.
A tiny documentation can be found here: Solved Random BSODs - Windows 10 Forums
In that very thread, the suggested action apparently worked.

The storage and network filters of any third party antivirus can cause BSODs. Neither MBAM nor BitDefender is any special. For a regular antivirus, it may be shifted to an alternative; but MBAM has no alternative. So a clean install of the said program is the most feasible first step.
As far as the first step is not failing, it is better to not think for the second step. Because the BSODs are not universal, failure at the first step is not universal; and success at the second step is also not universal.
That is why I posted that my suggestion may work, or may not. Let us see where it goes.

 

CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT After Leaving PC for 5-10 Minutes


Daemon tools, Alcohol 120% and Power Archiver Pro uses SCSI Pass Through Direct (SPTD), which is a well known cause for BSOD's.
Please remove Daemon Tools and run the SPTD pass through remover.

1. Uninstall Daemon Tools
2. Download the SPTD standalone installer and follow these steps:
   • Double click the executable to open it
   • Click on the button shown below

If the button is grayed out, like in the image, there is no more SPTD installation on your system, and you can close the window.

The 0x101(CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT) is mostly caused by BIOS or hardware problem, the challenge is to find software problems.
I suggest to update your BIOS.
