BSOD with every game- driver irql and clock interrupt. dm log+screens

I'm completely unable to play any games as of a couple days ago. They either crash or i get bsod within 2 minutes. I have Driver IRQL Not Less or Equal and
A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval.

For a while my temps have been a little higher than should be, but when i go in game now my temps are 75-85 c, and around 40-45 at times like now where i'm not doing anything.
How likely is it that these blue screens are related to my temps? Why would they be happening all of a sudden
Could my h100i have stopped working? How would i tell

Any help is seriously appreciated.

I'll take a look at your files, but if you are talking about GPU temps, the 670 should never get that hot and will start throttling at 70. If you are talking about your CPU, the same applies. You should check your fans and radiator for dust build up and if not clean you can look in bios at where the pump is plugged in and see the RPMs. If I remember correctly, the pump should run 100%at all times, (around 4000 RMPs, I think) should be connected to a molex plug coming from the PSU. If you are overclocking, set everything back to defaults.

From looking at your dump files this was found At least 3 of them showed this:

Code:

nvlddmkm

This is your Nvidia graphics driver Either update the driver to a newer WHQL driver or reinstall it using this method NVIDIA Drivers - Avoid Problems

This is the C-Media Audio Interface Driver (WDM) by C-Media ASUS Xonar DG Audio Interface driver
HTO CLARO Audio Interface Drive update at
USB Audio,PCIe audio,USB audio ic,USB sound chip--C-Media Electronics, Inc.

Try updating those drivers, but each dump file had a different bug code and all initially blamed the Windows Kernel, which does not happen without other problems.

Open a elevated command prompt ( click start, type cmd in the search box, right click on the cmd entry and select run as administrator) in the black box that opens, copy/paste sfc /scannow. If you decide to type it, notice the space between the sfc and the /. It is a system file checker which will scan your system files and attempt to correct any missing or corrupt files. What we want are the results to say windows found no integrity violations. If it says files were found but could not be repaired, close the box, reboot and run it again, after opening the administrative command prompt. You may have to reboot and run it three times for it to repair all system files. If it can't repair them after 3 reboots, let us know.

The problem persists unfortunately - crashing a couple minutes into most games. Though I haven't seen any of the 2 BSOD errors after sfc /scannow, it could be coincidence because it seemed dependant on which game.

GPU temps are normal, i was indeed talking about the CPU, realtemp shows it 70-up to 98c now when im ingame but crashes etc still happening with games that run around 70c, like LoL.

I've turned off the automatic overclock and reinstalled my nvidia driver using that method. I also ran sfc /scannow, it fixed something and i rebooted with no integrity violations.
The Xonar dg one confused me because i'm using a xonar stx driver and it's the most recent. The website linked goes to cmedia which i've never heard of and has a bunch unfamiliar models. So i went to the asus website and reinstalled my regular audio driver.

I've attached a picture of my bios monitor, It only has information for CPU fan speed and Chassis Fan 2, both lower than 4000. Should there be more "chassis fan's" ?
I'm going to dust it tomorrow, but i've last dusted it a few weeks ago so i imagine the difference wont be dramatic. Except the filter under the PSU, i've haven't done that one because i've been unsure how.

I just Googled it and I was wrong. The pump speed should be around 1320 RPMs, so you seem OK there. However, make sure your fans on the radiator are turned up, the radiator is clear of dust and the pump is installed properly on the CPU. There is no reason at all to ever let your CPU get that hot. The TJ Max of your CPU is 105C and the temps you are reading are being read by software which are notoriously wrong. If your CPU gets to 105C the computer will shut down to protect itself from damage, hopefully. Just looking at your idle temps, they should not be that high. You obviously have a problem with the cooling system and I would fix that first. You may need to remove the pump and housing from the CPU, clean the old thermal paste and reapply new paste and re seat the plate. Check the mounting again and make sure it is tight and properly done. There are many You Tube Videos showing how it is done.

Also, run that command again and make sure it says it found no integrity violations. Also, make sure you install the proper driver for your motherboard and your sound card. The driver referenced is a 2011 driver, so there should be a newer one.
