Windows 10: KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED nvlddmkm.sys

Both crashes caused by driver verifier, no driver was flagged.
This usually indicates a different problem, like hardware problem or a setting problem or something.

There are a few things I can think of why a hardware problem would be the case, but some I cannot be certain about because I do not know if other games you may be playing may be using more memory than the one causing the BSOD.
Lets start with a first next step





Diagnostics Test

HDD TEST
*Arrow https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/4...dows-10-a.html



Run HDTune to

• scan for errors, no quick scan but full scan
• check the health,
• benchmark.

It may take some time, but please take the time you need to perform it properly.
When above is done please make screenshots of the following

• the error scan,
• the health,
• the benchmark incl. following
  • transfer rate,
  • access time,
  • burst rate,
  • cpu usage.

 

On it. Next post will be results. One question though; if my HDD is used only for backup purposes only and nothing is run directly off of it, should I still assume it is a potential problem?

 

To be sure we're missing nothing, yes *Smile
