Windows 10: System Service Exception BSOD while playing games. nvlddmkm.sys

Hello, over the past week, maybe two weeks. I have gotten a couple of BSOD while playing a game. It has happened with Assassin's Creed Origins, Destiny 2, and now League of Legends. I tried Display Driver Uninstaller on safe mode to see if maybe it was a bad driver, but I am still unsure if it would be the driver as the error I got was exactly the same

Stop Code: System Service Exception
What Failed: Nvlddmkm.sys

Everything I have looked up says somewhat different. From display driver to failing graphics card to even a failing power supply. My power supply is the oldest thing on my computer, its Antec Earthwatts Green 650W that I bought back in April of 2012. I do eventually plan to get a new one, but right now I am not able to do that for reasons I won't go into. It is high on my list of things to do when I get the money to do so.

With that in mind, I want to try and see if maybe its isn't a failing power supply. So I am hoping this crash log will find something that maybe I didnt see or if anyone else has an answer. Thank you!

:)

I think you have 4 8gb Ripjaws installed, and according to the specs for these RAM Modules, they should be at 1333MHz and can be OC'D up to 2133MHz?? Am I reading this wrong?

All four of yours, according to the Windows debugger output are all running at 667MHz. Am I missing something?

As for the crash dump, NVidia display driver nvlddmkm.sys was flagged as the culprit.

The best driver for NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080, according to NVidia is linked below and I suggest you perform a "clean install" of the driver.

How do I perform a clean install of my Nvidia drivers?

BSOD (System Service Exception) only while gaming.

Hello,

I have been having BSOD's on and off now for about 2 years and have exhausted all options thus far. I have replaced almost all my hardware except motherboard, ram, cpu. I have updated all drivers, software and windows dozens of times. I upgraded from Windows
7 to Windows 10 last year and the BSOD persisted.

Oddly it will only BSOD while gaming at random times. I could play 3 hours without it and then poof. Normally I only get the error message "System Service Exception", but every now and then I'll get a different message like "IRQL Not Equal or Less".

So any help would be appreciated. I could send you my dump file as well if need be. Here is a little sample.

Description:

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000003b (0x00000000c0000005, 0xfffff80114164e22, 0xffffab8130dc7380, 0x0000000000000000). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: f182ef02-5df8-4759-b44e-e7d1b827752b.

 

That driver if for your graphics card, best to totally remove the nvidia driver program and re download it fresh. Im sure someone will jump on and ask for a dump and find other things but that particular driver is for nvidia matey *Smile

 

The dump definitely shows a problem with your graphics card/driver:

There is a newer driver available: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 GeForce Game Ready Driver

Version: 388.43 WHQL Release Date: 2017.11.30 Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit Language: English (US) File Size: 441.41 MB


I suggest completely uninstalling the Nvidia display drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) from WagnardMobile (near bottom of page) then install the latest shown above. Then do a custom install of only the NVidia graphics driver and the PhysX driver.

See if that gets rid of the problem.
