    dxgkrnl.sys BSOD when watching video. Error 0x00000116


    I just fixed my last BSOD (faulty RAM) that kept appearing and now I'm getting a new one. I was just beginning to watch a video using firefox, screen froze and then i got this BSOD. I checked memory dump with BlueScreenView and results were :

    BC code : 0x00000116
    Caused By Driver : dxgkrnl.sys
    Caused By Address : dxgkrnl.sys+5d000
    (I will attach .dmp)

    I have new rig with
    Asus gtx 560 ti 448
    Intel core i5 2500k
    Asrock z68 pro3 gen3
    and Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

    my GPU and CPU temperatures were around 35 degrees during BSOD.

    My video card driver version is 295.73 - WHQL and it has worked properly before.

    Well you have checked the normal things and they look good.
    The 295.73 - WHQL could be corrupt. Remove and install it again.
    I would run another memory test on the new ram. Your video card ram and system ram do communicate with each other when needed.

    I have tested my new RAM and it's working good. Anyway no more BSODs appeared today and everything seems to be alright. If I get more blue screens i'll contact here.
    Thanks!

    I've just upgraded my rig to similiar to yours and I have the exact same problem. I tested everything, the mobo, the PSU, the memory..Used different drivers (all from Catalyst 11.12 to 12.4) and I still have random bsods in games, photoshop, etc... Basically I can't do anything, can't work, can't play...ffs
    Here's my current setup

    +MOBO ASRock Z68 EXTREME3 GEN3
    +CPU
    i5 2500k @ 4.8Ghz + Scythe Mugen 2 Rev.B
    +RAM
    2x 4GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 @ 1600 Mhz 9-9-9-24
    +GPU
    2x ASUS EAH5850 TOP DirectCU @ 960/1200
    +HDD1
    Crucial M4 128Gb SSD
    +HDD2
    Samsung HD204UI 2TB
    +DISPLAY
    ASUS VW22 @ 1680x1050

    +CASE
    Antec Gamer 300
    +CONTROLLER
    X360 Gamepad
    +SYSTEM
    Win7 x64 SP1 + Catalyst 12.1

    I've read dozens of topics on different forums, tried almost every method that I found - still nothing. Everything was fine when I had ASUS P5K PRO and C2D E8400..
