    Dxgmms1.sys BSOD... What should I do?


    Hi all...

    Thought I'd throw this one out there as I don't know what's going on. Getting this BSOD when playing PC games sometimes. Anyone know what I can do about it?

    Thanks.

    Hi Extr3me Rob and welcome to SF! :)
    Update DirectX. If BSODs persist, follow Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions guidelines.
    Let us know the results.

    Hi,

    My DirectX is up to date and I have followed the BSOD instructions. Have attached the required files. Still facing issues every so often. I've checked that my GPU drivers are up to date. Checked system temps while playing games and they seem fine. Run MemTest and Prime 95 and had no errors there.

    I'd reinstall video driver ( AMD Catalyst 11.5; 11.6 may cause BSOD in some systems ). When upgrading your graphic driver you MUST remove all traces of the current driver. In order to do that we recommend using Phyxion.net - Driver Sweeper. When it is removed then download and install the fresh copy.

    Cool... I will give it a go. If it's just a driver issue and not down to some form of instability then its not as bad as I thought it would be.

    Many thanks for your time Wallonn7!

    You're welcome. :)
    Additionally:

    1. Download Malwarebytes - rename it to "toy.exe" before save it to desktop. Install it, update it and run a full scan.
    2. Uninstall Daemon Tools... You may use MagicDisc as an alternative: Freeware MagicISO Virtual CD/DVD-ROM(MagicDisc) Overview.
    3. Remove "C:\Program Files (x86)\DeviceVM\Browser Configuration Utility\BCU.exe" if Malwarebytes didn't.

    Please keep reporting.

    So far so good... Can I ask, why should I change from Daemon Tools and why should I delete BCU.exe?

    Many thanks again for your time.

    Daemon Tools driver is often listed as one of the causes of BSODs.
    BCU is generally safe, But... In all, do you really need this type of software sucking your system resources?

    Glad to hear your system is stable!
