BSOD while playing, ntoskrnl.exe

Recreated the bluescreen and booted into safemode to avoid bootlooping, minidump folder is empty. It doesnt seem to save a dump. Is there a setting to enable it?

Blue you gotta help me, It seems it doesn't help. I have tried both MInidump and complete memory dump and none of them are stored. It crashes on startup still.. Is there a way to save the log from the crash? :s Should i upload a video?

EDIT; heres a video of it happening

Scan for any malware or rootkits using:

• Windows Defender Offline
• Anti-rootkit utility TDSSKiller

Make sure you have a paging file set also:

• Virtual Memory Paging File - Change - Vista Forums

I freezeframed the movie , found out what the culprit was

Which was?

Well, first of all, sorry for resurrecting this thread but I thought it would be better than to start a new one.


Okay, so, formatted my C-drive clean, did a fresh install of windows, no errors this time. I have gotten 3 bluescreens since friday, e.g. 3 days ago, once a day so to speak. I hope anyone can take a look at them - I can't make out what they mean. One points to watchdog,which seems to be a windows file. The others point to nvlddkm,sys or ntoskrnl.sys which are proprietary of Nvidia , ie my graphics card, and Windows NT Kernel..

Hard stuff.. Might there be any errors with the graphics card? Its age is about 8 -10 months..

Code:

BugCheck 10E, {1f, fffff8a014cebe50, 6, 4a3d9}

Probably caused by : dxgmms1.sys ( dxgmms1!VIDMM_GLOBAL::CompleteBuildPagingBufferIteration+ce )

Code:

Usual causes:  Video driver, Video memory

1. Download Driver
2. Start Type: Device Manager
3. Expand Display Adapters
4. Right-Click Driver Name, Uninstall
5. Reboot
6. Run Driver Sweeper
7. Reboot
8. Install Downloaded Driver

Driver Sweeper will scan for any left over files from the old driver, old driver files can cause conflicts with new driver installations. Create a System Restore point beforehand, in case any problems or issues arise.

Driver Sweeper:

• Drivers - Clean Left over Files after Uninstalling

The latest nVidia driver is dated as January 29th 2013.

• Latest NVIDIA ForceWare Video Drivers Windows 7

Done! Latest drivers were from Jan 5th though, unless you're talking about beta drivers. Let's see if problem persists ..

I meant the Beta drivers, but if you have installed the latest WHQL certified driver, then that may be the better option since it has been tested by Windows.
