Code:
BugCheck 3B, {c0000005, fffff960000955ea, fffff88016a5b210, 0}
Probably caused by : win32k.sys ( win32k!NtUserQueryWindow+18a )
Code:
Usual causes: System service, Device driver, graphics driver, memory
win32k.sys is part of the Windows API, and primarily provides support for kernel-based graphics interface support, by directly communicating with the graphics driver, which makes sense since your graphics driver does seem to be causing a few issues. win32k.sys also serves other purposes, such as the Window Manager, which deals with some input devices such as the keyboard.
