Windows 10: VIDEO DXGKRNL FATAL ERROR trying to install Creator Fall update

If you were to install a new drive on the computer and did not have an image you would need to install Windows and drivers.
There should be a website (Dell) etc. that has the applicable drivers for the computer's configuration.
A place to download drivers, firmware, etc.

 

Grief, I can't remember where all of them came from. The Dell drivers if any will have come from :

Support for Precision 690 | Drivers & downloads | Dell UK


You correctly identified the location for the ni-488 drivers as:

NI-488.2 17.0.0 - Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 7, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2008 R2 - National Instruments

The Adaptec U320 driver came from:

https://storage.microsemi.com/en-us/...v70012_exe.php

The ATI video driver came from Detail

 

The bios version is 2008.
Were you able to find an update and a link?

 

That is the latest versionof the BIOS AFAIK

Please wait while your computer restarts.

Which probably occurred when the upgrade failed ...

 

The HD Tune full error scan can take a few hours.
The Memtest86+ version 5.01 takes approximately 1 - 2 hours / GB RAM.
If this is too much time to be without the computer you can test 1 RAM module at a time in the same DIMM.
If there is multichannel this will not be tested. So if you have multichannel its best to plan 2 days without use of the computer.
If there is just 1 error you can abort testing and move to testing just 1 RAM module at a time.
Once you complete the HD and RAM / DIMM /MB testing the next step is Windows driver verifier to find misbehaving drivers.

 

For HD Sentinel please post the following images into the thread:
Overview
SMART
Disk performance
Disk surface test

Run Sea tools for windows on your drive using SMART, short and long generic tests:

FWIW, my money is still on a dodgy driver (probably video) installed as part of the Fall Update installation, given that I completely uninstalled the AMD vide drivers prior to the last attempt. I'm also pretty sure the memory is good.

Here's thet HDTune stuff (without the Health tab as that was blank):

 

Please make sure that all drives have:
chkdsk /x /f /r reports
HD Tune or HD Sentinel reports for
error or surface scans
health scans or SMART scans
benchmarks

And for all HD run Sea Tools SMART and long generic.

Please post images of all test results into the thread.

 

C'mon fella, how many ways do you want me to prove the HDD is good - HDTune says it is good, chkdsk says it is good, HD Sentinel text report says good. The image snaps from HD Sentinel will tell you exactly the same as the full text report I already posted. I ran a FULL HD Sentinel surface test on each of these drives a while back and it took *AGES*.

 

It had the bitmap fixed and HD sentinel report displayed errors and to backup the drive.
So please post images of the test results so the full results are available.


The hard disk reports the following problems:
Total uncorrected read errors = 4012
Total uncorrected verify errors = 3577
It is recommended to backup often to prevent data loss.

 

Why on earth should I do full disk scans etc on disks that are not involved in the Windows upgrade. The second 600GB drive was an unallocated spare until I copied the Boot partition after the failed update. The 419GB drive is unused, and the 279 GB drive only stores Virtual machine images, and one application which is huge but rarely used.

The errors you are complaining about apply to a drive that had those errors logged in the SMART report when I got it, it has since had a COMPLETE surface scan with NO ERRORS and in in ANY CASE IS NOT IN USE!!!

The main system drive (drive 0) is just fine apart from the bitmap errors reported by the chkdsk and those very likely occurred at the time of the update failure.
