    WATCHDOG_ERROR - BSOD - FPS Dropping in games' with Random Freezes.


    Hi All, - PC SPECS AT BOTTOM



    This is a long story, I have been having BSOD crashes constantly with my PC that is now 3 Years old. These crashes have so far been quite random and have some certain traits that are noticeable before the crash. I have come here as sort of my last resort, this has been happening for about 2 Months now. Originally I had taken this to Stardot Technology, as it is close to where I live and is also how I had the PC built, but after 3 weeks they couldn't seem to fix the crashing. Here is a list of what they did to attempt a fix;


    - Tested HDD and Ram - No fault found

    - Checked Temps for CPU and GPU - both have low temps

    - HDD Activity is fine

    - CPU Usage is fine

    - FPS drops occurring during game-play, but happening at random intervals. Assessed mini dump file and found video card or antivirus the issue. Uninstalled antivirus and removed video card drivers, re-installed video card drivers FPS drop still happening.

    - Formatted SSD. Windows 10 Installed, Drivers and updates done.


    And that was all stardot tech support could do, unfortunately, the crashes pursed after the fresh re-install of windows. To describe what is happening, the fps during gameplay will at times randomly hit a stutter/freeze, and in the event that it doesn't full lock up and freeze (BSOD, but just a black screen followed by full PC restart) the fps will drop to about 10% of its normal (csgo - 250fps avg, 30fps issue). This is not just tied to 1 Game either, this will happen across any game, for example WarThunder, Total War: War-hammer 2, CSGO, Insurgency Sandstorm and Company of Heroes 2. I do not play on very high settings in case you might think that is the cause, medium on all of the listed games. I have attempted to reinstall drivers for nearly everything, Device Manager, Nvidia, realtek, but the issue still persists. I have run certain commands such as troubleshooting from the start up which said it couldn't find the issue, and sfc/scannow which returned no results for problems.


    I have also had the PC crash when using things such as YouTube, Facebook, Discord, Steam and just sitting at the desktop with nothing open. Every Crash has been a BSOD, that was just a straight Freeze of the screen with the PC restarting completely.


    At this current point I believe it to be the graphics card hardware failing, but I would like to be 100% sure before forking out a ridiculous amount of money for a new card (still a uni student). So any advice on how to fix this would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

    Below are some of the crash reports that I have noticed, I'm not the most tech savy person so if there is another thing I can use to get info let me know.


    Event Viewer:

    The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000133 (0x0000000000000001, 0x0000000000001e00, 0xfffff8007814a380, 0x0000000000000000). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 0d13b00d-b262-407d-8695-e4835191f48e.



    Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered.

    I have linked a OneDrive folder with screenshots of bluescreenviewer, MSI Afterburner and the MiniDump.dmp and Memory.dmp files, I hope that this is enough for people to see some sort of pattern or issue!

    Random FPS Drops on Windows 10

    So, this has only happened on windows 10. Every single game i can play on my laptop always has this random FPS drops.

    It is like when im playing the game and it handles normally. Then randomly a FPS drop happenes. Which makes my experience with the game worse. After the FPS drop, it goes back to normal. And it repeats. (FPS drop stays for a lot of minutes, and the normal
    doesnt.)

    Any ideas? Please tell me if you know or find out!

    Random FPS drop

    Hi,

    Recently I am having huge random drop in FPS when playing games. In some games screen sometimes freezes for 1-3 seconds and than goes back to normal. This happens for every 5 min or so. I tested my GPU with stress tool (Furmark) and don't recorded such huge drops or freezes ( GPU performance drops from 99.9 % to 75% occasionally but not more). What may cause this?
