BSOD on startup, BCCode 116
Good day everyone,
I have recently faced several consistent BSODs whenever I boot up my laptop (Asus A8Js). As all but one of the BCCodes are showing 116, I managed to narrow it down to my vga card based on the problems surfaced by other users within this forum. What I have managed to do so far are:
1. Conducted memtest86+ (no error shown after 7 runs)
2. Did a full scan with microsoft essentials security (all clear)
3. Followed the STOP 0x116: VIDEO_TDR_ERROR troubleshooting thread (didnt help to solve the problem)
4. Rollback my display adapter to standard vga driver to continue booting into windows normally
Currently I am unable to boot into windows whenever my display driver is updated to GeForce Go 7700 (original vga card that came with the laptop). It will either show a black screen or BSOD after the starting windows logo. Everything was working fine until a few days ago and I did not make any updates to the vga driver prior to that.
I half suspect my vga card had blown as I am also seeing "background white dots" all over my screen from the moment I start my laptop. However I will like to have a second opinion and have attached my DMP files for troubleshooting purposes.
Thanks for taking time to help :)
