Keep having bluescreens regularly, cannot grasp why

E Revo · 09 Feb 2015

Well, I keep having bluescreens and crashes. All. The. Time. Usually only while playing. The screen will suddenly freeze, all sound cease, I hear something switch off inside the computer, for it then to shut down completely. Usually without even giving me the bluescreen. It just dies. Then it proceeds to start up by itself, for then to usually turn on and shut down multiple times before being able to even give me a picture on the screen.
I'll put by a file with debug files as according to this thread: Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions

First of all update the display driver. Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers

See how it goes. Let us know for any further BSODs. We may need to take further actions depending the resulting situation.

Welp, it didn't work, that's for darn sure.
I have no idea what to do. When the bluescreen pops up, it says something in way of "Dumping physical memory" or something, followed by "Dumping complete" then it proceeds to restart up to 16 times by itself, before giving me a picture.
Please, if you can help, help me :c I'll supply you with any information from my computer you need
Thank you

I ran Furmark, and had no issues while running the benchmark.(Screenshot uploaded) However, I cannot give you a screenshot of Speccy after a couple of hours of normal usage, as my computer usually crashes within fifteen minutes of my normal usage.
I'm either way fairly certain that overheating is not the problem. The fans spins nowhere near max pace during normal usage. They did when I ran Furmark though, ran at a high pace.
I did some research, and found that I should fix the "nvlddmkm.sys" file in the Nvidia drivers. This didn't work either.

Arc · 11 Mar 2015

We need to check the temps .... otherwise a big possibility will remain untouched.

nvlddmkm.sys is the nvidia display driver. But stop 0x116 does include teh entire graphics environment within its scope. And we have already noticed that the issue continues irrespective of the display driver version involved. So it is anything else within the graphics environment that is causing the BSODs.

I dont want to know the fan speeds, what I need to know is the system temperature. Fan speed may not have a proper bearing on it. It depends on some more other things as well.

About furmark, you ran the benchmark whereas you were supposed to run the stress test for some more time. Still, the benchmark yielded 90ºC which is hot enough to cause a display crash.

E Revo · 11 Mar 2015

Well, last week I ran Furmark for over an hour. Sure enough, the GPU temperature went above 90 degrees celsius. It reached its peaking point at 98 degrees. And stayed about there for the rest of the stress test. The computer didn't crash, even when running the GPU at 98%, and keeping a temperature of nearly a 100 degrees for quite some time.
Usually, when playing my games earlier on, before these problems, my GPU stayed at about 83 degrees, give or take.
