Windows 10: Random BSOD's every 45 min or so, usually while playing games

For right now, just use the computer as normal. Let's see what happens. It sounds like it's better at least. If you have another BSOD, upload the DM Log files here. If you don't crash, wait until you feel sure the problem is resolved, then come back let us know and mark the thread solved. Just keep us posted.

 

Welp, that didn't last too long, crashed about 5 minutes ago. Sigh. This is getting depressing, middle of an assignment too. Well here's the DM log, hopefully there's something helpful in there.

Oh, also don't know if these means or helps anything, but even before the BSOD's my NVidia display driver would constantly crash and get recovered, monitor would freeze for a few seconds and all that. I mention that because it just happened right now, not sure if it's related at all.

 

It looks like the graphics drivers/card

Code: Use !analyze -v to get detailed debugging information. BugCheck 139, {3, ffffd000253fc4c0, ffffd000253fc418, 0} Probably caused by : dxgmms2.sys ( dxgmms2!VIDMM_PAGING_QUEUE::GetNewPacket+96 ) Followup: MachineOwner[/quote] That's directX and is usually caused by the graphics drivers crashing.

 

You may have done it before, but try it again. Please right click on the start icon and select Command prompt administrator, give admin permissions and copy/paste this into the window that opens and press enter sfc /scannow . If you decide to type it in, please notice the space between the sfc and the /. We want it to say no integrity violations were found. If it says there where corrupt files that could not be repaired, please reboot and run it again. You may have to run it 3 times with reboots in between each time.

 

Alright, back from doing 3 tests with reboots in between. All 3 times I got no integrity violations. Good thing I guess but that means the cause of BSOD is not a corrupted file? What else could it be?

 

Watch your temps very closely. If it gets too hot, stop the test. Temps will go up very fast and very high, so watch them. Download and install Ungine Heaven, a GPU benchmark/burn in program. UNIGINE Benchmarks (free version). After installing it, open it, Set the preset to extreme, picture below. When you press Run, it will take a minute to load, as soon as it starts moving, press the benchmark tab/button in the top left. When it finishes, exit the test.

Kk will do, what program do you recommend for GPU temps? Also what counts as too hot?

 

You can use MSI Afterburner to monitor temps. By Specs the max temp for your card is 98C, I would stop it if it goes over 80.

 

Kk just finished, FPS: 45.1, Score: 1135, Min FPS: 24.9 Max FPS: 100.1. GPU temp hovered around 68-70, max was 71 I think.

 

OK, that sounds good. Have you updated the Firmware on your SSD?

 

Heya, installed the SanDisk SSD toolkit and found that there's no firmware updates for the SSD.

 

I don't think you have tried this suggestion?

 

Hiya sorry had to go out for a little bit. Yah I didn't try that out yet, mostly because I don't know what it means So I should make a bootable USB with linux on it and run that?

 

Yes. See if this will help. The tutorial is using it for a different purpose, but you can use it and just stay with it and see if your computer will crash or not. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...s-dead-os.html
