Windows 10: win10 BSOD when idle, stop code: SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED

Hi all.

Starting from yesterday (26Nov), my win10 PC jumped to the blue screen whenever idle for some time. (Not sure if it's relevant though but it never happened when I was actually using it)
Stop code is SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED
What failed: nvlddmkm.sys
It never restarted after 100% complete in collecting errors. I had to press the main switch every time.

I haven't plugged in any new hardware these few days. The only thing new is I have downloaded a msg viewer on 25Nov. There was no BSOD on 25Nov even after long idle time. I only browsed some images and downloaded 1 image in the morning on 26Nov. Both that image and the msg viewer had been removed but the problem still exists.

Some other information which I'm not sure if they are relevant:
-I have always turned Windows Defender off.
-I have runned the sfc scannow and it seems alright.
-Ran a full virus scan with Avast free antivirus and nothing found.
-Failed to do a system recovery because it couldn't replace the AcroPDF.fll of my Adobe Acrobat Reader*Sad

Could anyone please help?

P.S. I am an idiot in these stuff so if there's anything I need to do could you kindly describe as detailed as possible?

Many thanks!

BSOD: System Service Exception (Error code: esif ls.sys)

I'd like to apologize if this problem had been brought up before but since I can't seem to find the answer and I want to make sure.

So, the BSOD has been reoccurring more often lately. It gets to a point where it occurs 3 times a day whether during use or even when it's idle. It says that the cause is System Service Exception and the error code is 'esif ls.sys'. I did try to look the
error code up but I couldn't find anything. There were a lot of solutions to fix BSOD caused by 'system service exception' but it varies depending on the error code. I was wondering what exactly might be the cause and whether it might have the same solution
to some other one with a different error code. Thank you.

 

BSOD "SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION..."

Hi Mark,

For possible resolution, you may try performing a clean boot. It will
start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. Also, it helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in Windows.

Let us know how it goes.

 

The dumpfile also says Probably caused by : nvlddmkm.sys ( nvlddmkm+3e15b0 )

This is the driver for your geforce gpucard with Timestamp: Mon Aug 01 14:00:42 2016 (579F39EA)

Update to the latest version. and see if this solves your problem.

 

Thanks!*Smile*Smile
I've just updated the driver and will try to leave it idle for longer and see what will happen.

 

It's idle for a few hours and no BSOD has been seen yet.
I suppose it's alright now...
Many thanks for your help! *Smile
