BSoD, STOP 0x00000101 - ntoskrnl.exe + nvlddmkm.sys

First of all, apologies if I miss something.

This BSoD caused me to lose some unsaved data, and I am not happy. It happened multiple times in the past, but as I reset my PC to a system image, those minidumps aren't there. I would like to know if this could be caused by defective components, as most of them are nearly out of warranty. Attached is my "DM Log" zip file.

STOP code: 0x00000101
BlueScreenView flags up ntoskrnl.exe + nvlddmkm.sys as potential causes.

Thanks!

Have you overclocked?

No, I haven't overclocked and I probably never will.

I just crashed, but rather than BSoDing, the screen just froze. Can anyone help?

Upload the new dump.

Uninstall the video driver, then reboot. Run Windows Update and check in the Optional Updates for the offered Microsoft-certified driver. Install it. Use computer as normal but do NOT update the driver further. Monitor for further BSOD's.

I can't find any new drivers.



The "important update" fails to install.
