Random BSOD 116 nvlddmkm.sys
This is a new laptop, had it for almost a month and I've been randomlly getting BSOD 116 throughout my entire time with it. I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit OS that I migrated from my old HP laptop because the new laptop didn't come with an OS (It's a clevo/sager brand). The OS and some programs are on my ssd while everything else is on my hdd. My old HP from which I migrated the OS from has an integrated AMD graphics card while my new one has integrated Intel and dedicated Nvidia. Initially, I had trouble with the leftover ati pci 3gio filter driver after using DDU to uninstall AMD. There was not enough resources for my Intel and Nvidia graphics but I fixed it after updating the 3gio driver to "PCI bus". Anyway, the BSOD seems to happen at least once a day or every other day and I've only started to keep track of the recent crashes.
The first time since I started to keep track with WhoCrashed, it just randomlly BSOD'd and I don't recall anything that could have triggered it. The second time was when I turned the power off to my charger since my laptop was ~98% done. As soon as the laptop went from charging to not charging, it BSOD'd. The third time, I had just finished downloading my windows updates and logged onto my computer. After I got to my desktop, it BSOD'd again. I have already tried reinstalling windows and graphics drivers multiple times (using DDU to uninstall) and with different versions, nothing seems to work. I have reset my bios with the latest one from my reseller and the BSODs still persist. All of the BSOD's are 116.
I am starting to think it has something to do with my dedicated graphics card being faulty (Nvidia gtx 965m) because I have tried running a 3dmark 11 benchmark and I set the Nvidia control settings for the program to use the Nvidia GPU but I only get 1 FPS in all the benches. I haven't played or downloaded any graphics intensive game yet but the benchmark and problems are enough to make me think this has something to do with a faulty card. At this point, I'm wondering if there is anything else I could do or if I should RMA it.
