BSOD When using Chrome or playing CS:GO

Arc said:

The driver seems to be installed properly, but the PhysX needs to be installed, too. You may install it by running the installer again.

If you have not noticed any artifacts, if it did not BSOD or if it did not close the program itself, anf if it is not overheating during furmark, then the GPU may be considered to be OK.

Now observe the situation and let us know how it is running.

I ran the 314.22 Driver Installation to install the missing physx software and only checked the graphics drivers and physx with no clean install and I did not run it as admin since I did not think it was necessary and that failed. Would it be okay to download and install a separate version of physx, this one being PhysX-9.13.0725-SystemSoftware rather than the 9.12.1031?

We are finding that the display driver is somehow responsible for the BSODs.

Code:

fffff880`05fd1338  fffff880`048d3007Unable to load image \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\nvlddmkm.sys, Win32 error 0n2
*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for nvlddmkm.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for nvlddmkm.sys
 nvlddmkm+0xbb007

And the driver version is unstable.

Code:

Install the 314.22 WHQL only.

• Uninstall All nvidia items in Control Panel > Programs and features
  
  • 3D Vision Control Driver
  • 3D Vision Driver
  • Graphics Driver
  • HD Audio Driver
  • PhysX
  • nvidia Update
  
  (Are you using nvidia chipset drivers? If so, dont uninstall anything other than those are listed).
• Now follow Drivers - Clean Left over Files after Uninstalling
• Boot normally now. Go to Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers, Download 314.22 WHQL. While installing, Select Custom (Advanced) install. In the next page, follow this settings:
  
  

Let us know the results. If it is still unstable, we will take further steps.

This is the one I downloaded, I went ahead and downloaded the same one, let me show you how it looks on my computer.


As you can see included in my attachment, with the installer provided there is no way for me to just install Physx, the Graphics Drivers are mandatory.

I went ahead and ran a clean installation with the Graphics Driver and Physx only. Here's what I got.

One thing I did forget to do that time is restart in safe mode to remove my current graphics driver files with driver sweeper, I shall do that right now and reinstall with physics too...although I doubt that's the case, the installer just decides to finish early, and i've had this happen to me before on my older computers due to registry problems, although I'm not sure if this is the case...

Okay got it. One question though, should I leave my nvidia control panel settings as default? I tend to change some of the settings to my liking, could this affect my bsod's that I am experiencing? I'll leave it at default for now.

Alright I'll keep you updated, thanks.

I played a game today for a couple hours, then I loaded chrome, enabled my YouTube options extension for chrome, downloaded a gif, opened a tab then it blue screened, I have now disabled that extension again.

Just had another bsod while browsing on chrome. I'm starting to think I should just disable all my extensions or switch browsers.
