Multiple BSOD after updating, errors 4e and PFN
I have an Intel Core i7-2700k @3.50 Ghz with 16 GB of Ram and had a GeForce 460. I run this on a 750w PSU.
I've played Guild Wars 2 on it for a couple years with no problems before now. There was a recent expansion addon to it and when I started playing it, I started getting random crashes from the game. So I thought maybe I just should update the GeForce 460 card drivers, and the Windows Updates to see if that might fix it. It actually made it worse, causing multiple PFN BSOD errors. I uninstalled all fo the Windows Updates I put in and reinstalled the old drivers. But didn't help the crashing.
So I thought maybe i just needed a new card and bought a new EVGA GeForce 970 card got the latest drivers. That's when the PFN errors went away and I started getting IRQL errors. I uninstalled the drivers, reinstalled again, and updated to the driver version just below the most recent one. That seemed to help and I was able to play the game again. I went ahead and cleared logs thinking I had fixed the problem, but started getting crashes again after playing for a couple hours. This time it was a the 4e and PFN errors again. I ran several chkdsk and memory tests several times but there were no problem ever found.
I'm at a loss here. I don't know what's wrong and now I'm getting BSODs with the computer just sitting in idle as I type this (on a different computer). I really appreciate any help that can be provided. I've attached to this post the required dm log collector .zip file.
Again, thanks for the help.
EDIT: I've tied redoing the drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller and reinstalling a fresh downloaded driver for the card. Now I'm getting complete system lockdown requiring a forced shutdown via power button or I get a new BSOD Memory Management error.
