BSOD when i navigate with Chrome

I believer there's been a recent problem with Nvidia drivers that has been piling in. I'm still researching on it but so far it seems too consistent to be coincidental. Nvidia has deployed what I believe to be a hotfix version of their driver recently this month. Install it and see if it does the trick. You may wanna uninstall it and install the latest version just to be sure.

Analysts:

Same as other recent issues. Nvidia driver is causing stack trashing due to possibly some sort of buffer overflow. In this cause it looks to be caused by a recursion loop:

DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION (c4)
A device driver attempting to corrupt the system has been caught.  This is
because the driver was specified in the registry as being suspect (by the
administrator) and the kernel has enabled substantial checking of this driver.
If the driver attempts to corrupt the system, bugchecks 0xC4, 0xC1 and 0xA will
be among the most commonly seen crashes.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000091, A driver switched stacks using a method that is not supported by
    the operating system. The only supported way to extend a kernel
    mode stack is by using KeExpandKernelStackAndCallout.
Arg2: 0000000000000002
Arg3: fffff80003453cc0

This version of the driver is actually older than the ones I've been coming across lately (Dec 28/29) but it's still well within the same time range. I think it's a recent issue with 310.xx drivers. Again, still researching.

Tx for your answer.

I'm going to uninstall and install the last version nvidia but i don't understand why the driver bug after i unmount my computer to change the cpu fan.

Seems just coincidental. Btw, I'm finding that the latest driver may not actually fix the problem, but I still recommend you try it. It may be necessary to rollback the driver prior to 310.xx driver version, as that's when the problem has initially started for people.

Well, i let u know if the problem is still here. Tx again.
Should i repost a dump if i have a BSOD again ?

Yes, that'd be great.

Hi there,

Nvidia driver up to date but BSOD again ...
This time, i was on VLC.

dump in attachments

tx for help

Same issue, and for some reason the driver still says it's from Dec 29. You may need to do a complete uninstall/reinstall, and perhaps even need to try out their beta driver to see if that fixes the issue. My research so far has found that the 310.xx series Nvidia drivers have been quite unstable lately and a lot of people have been recommending rolling back to 306.xx series. Some have had success with the 306.93 version. Try dabbling in those as well to see if it remedies your issue. Suffice to say, it is indeed the Nvidia driver, make no mistake about that. The question is, how long has the bug been around? Again, people have been saying since 310.xx, but you'll have to experiment a bit to find out.

I made a complete uninstall/reinstall.
But as u pretend, i m going to test a 306.xx.

I let u know the result in few days.

Ty for your help.

Ok now i have the 306.97 version
Right now i had no BSOD but i have HUGE spike like never.
