Hello,

I have an ongoing BSOD problem that has persisted with this PC build for over a year. Sometimes, I go a week without crashing. Sometimes, it crashes within seconds of booting into windows and logging in. A variety of errors have occurred, for example these:

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL- Most Frequent
SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED- Second most frequent
KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE
SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

What seems to cause it to crash more frequently is browsing the internet. It crashes way less often while playing a game. I have attempted the following:

Clean install of Windows 10 and 11, memtest86 on each stick of RAM with no errors, chkdsk with no errors, replaced the RAM, replaced the HDD, updated BIOS to latest version, swapped RAM into different slots. I have spent most of the time focused on drivers though as that seems to be the leading cause according to Google. I have installed the latest drivers from the motherboard manufacturer, and done a clean install where I grabbed the drivers individually from the vendors. I also did a clean install of windows and let windows update grab the drivers. I am doing no overclocking whatsoever, and do not have any overclocking utilities installed. I have not touched any voltage or speed settings in the BIOS.

Here is the log

    ISSUE HAS PERSISTED ON BOTH WINDOWS 10 AND 11
There were five collected BSOD mini dump files.
One was corrupt.
Three of the four displayed misbehaving Nvidia GPU driver nvlddmkm.sys

The BIOS is out of date.

The log BSOD and live kernel bugchecks were:

133
141
1AA
D1
A
189
BE
7F
139


Please perform the following steps:


1) Uninstall the Nvidia GPU driver nvlddmkm.sys using Display Driver Uninstaller
Reinstall from the Nvidia website
Make sure the clean install box is checked and if available install the physx driver.



2) Run:
Post a share link into this thread.



3) Check the Motherboard version.
Upgrade the BIOS to the most up to date non-beta BIOS



4) Run Memtest86 for two tests of four passes (total eight passes)
Take pictures and post images or share links into this thread.
Memtest86 has a feature to create text reports.
If possible, include the text reports with the images in the share links.


5) For BSOD after performing the above steps post a new V2 into the newest post

I have completed steps 1-3. Crashed several times in safe mode while using DDU, but eventually was able to complete it and restart twice. Installed Nvidia drivers with no network connection. Here is the latest V2 log as well. I will be running memtest a bit later.

Tuneup plus results were good.
The startup and recovery system failure settings are optimal for witnessing BSOD and dump file creation.

BSOD while in safe mode is very typical of malfunctioning hardware.
There were five new BSOD and the debugging did not find any misbehaving drivers.

The next steps will depend on the two reports from the Memtest86 testing.

I am about to start memtest86. One thing that I have been told is that the power supply I'm using might not be sufficient for my graphics card and could cause unstable behavior. Is this possible?

Insufficient power can cause unexpected shutdowns and restarts.
They are typical of event 41 entries.
Many times these entries present as unexpected shutdowns and restarts without BSOD.

At a later time boot to the BIOS > post images for CPU voltages and frequency: 3.3, 5, and 12 voltages

There are stress tests that can be performed.
Often though they don't find the malfunctioning hardware.
Typically swap testing is required to rule in and / or rule out malfunctioning hardware.

Here's the result from the first 4 passes of memtest86. I'll do the next 4 passes overnight tonight.


Also, I swapped in a higher rated PSU and am still experiencing crashes

Please check to see if the installed RAM is or is not on the Qualified Vendor List (QV).

The installed RAM modules (CMK32GX4M2D3600C18) were not seen on the Qualified Vendor List (QVL).



For testing purposes test RAM on the QVL.

I will do that. Side note, I've been running driver verifier with all drivers selected for an hour now. Watching videos and playing games simultaneously with no crashes. Obviously the performance has taken a hit, but it's working. Any thoughts?

Running WDV is useful for finding misbehaving drivers.

If there are no BSOD while running the tool then look for malfunctioning or incompatible hardware.

Make a new restore point:


If there were no performance problems including very slow boot with the current WDV settings then modify the customized tests.

Select all customized settings except:
[ ] 0x00000004 Randomized low resources simulation.

Test all non-Microsoft drivers.
Test no Microsoft drivers.

If there is no immediate BSOD then open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste:

verifier /querysettings

For any BSOD post a new V2.
