Windows 10: Windows BSOD During Multiple Games

I seem to get a consistent Windows 10 BSOD while playing a select few games, I've tried using different renderers and lowering settings which should not be an issue as I have a high end computer but even on very low intensity games I have BSODs giving me errors such as IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED, and SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION. I've done some research and the only thing I can find is that it's most likely an issue with a driver, and if not, a hardware issue. So I've come to the Microsoft forums with my 3 latest minidumps to hopefully figure out a solution.I can't seem to add them in the initial post, so I will try to do so in a response or edit after posting.

BSOD When playing games

Hi Jackson,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

Please share the information requested below:

• Does the BSOD occur while playing a particular game?
• Is the game downloaded from Windows Store?

I suggest you to update the Graphic Card drivers by following the steps provided below and check if it helps.

• Press Windows key + X, select Device Manager.
• Expand Display Adapters.
• Right click on the driver and select Update Driver Software.
• Follow the on-screen prompts to update.

Hope this helps. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

 

BSOD CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT (& Others) On Some Games

Hi,

I've had Multiple BSOD's While playing (High End) games. While playing games such as GTA IV or Player Unknown i have had multiple BSOD, this only seems to happen on games that require a lot of power to run. I have played games like ORI & Blind Forest and Counterstrike for 4 hours+ Without any errors.

Specs:
Intel Core i7 6700K @ 4.00GHz
16.0GB Dual-Channel
ASUS Z170-P
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti
Windows 10 Home 64-bit

BlueScreen View:

Hal.dll
Ntoskrnl.exe
IntelPPm.sys

BSOD Exprienced:

Clock_Watchdog_Timeout
Driver_IRQL_NOT Less or Equal
IRQL_NOT Less or Equal
Kmode_exception_Not_Handled

After contacting my supplier he suggested a number of things to try fixing the issue, and now he has got to the point of suggesting i need a new graphics card. I do however not believe however the issue is solely a faulty graphics card.

I have tried the following fixes:

• Reformatted Windows
• uninstall all Nvidia and Graphics drivers and fresh install
• Installed all updated Drivers
• Memtest (4 Hours)
• GE Benchmark

I presume someone would want to look at the minidumps? Please let me know and i will edit on to this post, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Connor
