Windows 10: Windows 10 multiple random BSODs when playing videogames.

Some specs: core i7 6700k, ht off, 16 GB ram, 1080ti, mb - asrock z170 oc formula. NOTHING is overclocked.


Tests performed - sfcscannow, memtest, checkdsk. No errors.


Windows 10 pro is up to date, all possible drivers are also up to date. Can't pinpoint the cause. Please help.


Here is the most recent error I got:


crash dump file: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\071718-12359-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: ntfs.sys (0xFFFFF8054380CBA7)
Bugcheck code: 0x1E (0xFFFFFFFFC0000005, 0xFFFFF8054380CBA7, 0x0, 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF)
Error: KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
file path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\ntfs.sys
product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
company: Microsoft Corporation
description: NT File System Driver
Bug check description: This indicates that a kernel-mode program generated an exception which the error handler did not catch.
This might be a case of memory corruption. This may be because of a hardware issue such as faulty RAM, overheating (thermal issue) or because of a buggy driver.
The crash took place in a file system driver. Since there is no other responsible driver detected, this could be pointing to a malfunctioning drive or corrupted disk. It's suggested that you run CHKDSK.

Random BSOD while browsing internet


BitDefender is nothing special. mwac.sys causes BSODs anywhere.
A tiny documentation can be found here: Solved Random BSODs - Windows 10 Forums
In that very thread, the suggested action apparently worked.

The storage and network filters of any third party antivirus can cause BSODs. Neither MBAM nor BitDefender is any special. For a regular antivirus, it may be shifted to an alternative; but MBAM has no alternative. So a clean install of the said program is the most feasible first step.
As far as the first step is not failing, it is better to not think for the second step. Because the BSODs are not universal, failure at the first step is not universal; and success at the second step is also not universal.
That is why I posted that my suggestion may work, or may not. Let us see where it goes.

 

[SOLVED] Multiple random BSODs, all pointing to the kernel


No BSODs yet but I haven't been playing World of Warcraft which I suspect to be a possible cause.

Was the driver verifier step necessary or just a suggestion?
