BSOD 1e with Skyrim SE, no further parameters
Hello everyone, I am new to the forums. Though I feel like this topic has been repeatedly beaten to death, I can't seem to find a solution for my own scenario. I've been using the same install of Windows 7 Ultimate x64 since 2014, and recently started receiving the good ol' BSOD 1e, specifically while playing Skyrim Special Edition.
I've had it installed and running stably since around February of 2018. Decided to pick it up again after a few months, and been getting the blue screen after it runs for an hour, maybe hour and a half.
That is the only circumstances I can duplicate the problem. I can let my system run for hours, even days, on end without failure. No other programs seem to cause any issues at all. I don't have any other graphics-intensive games or applicatins to try (besides test utilities). I also have a dual boot setup with Manjaro Linux, where I have no problems at all.
The only changes that have been made since the original build of my system back in 2014, are the SSD's that I cloned my OS onto, that was March of this year, which all went smoothly. Also mid-september I picked up a new gamepad (Logitech F310) to replace my 10 year old RumblePad 2.
I've tried to analyze the dumps myself, but can't find any further info than the blame of "ntoskrnl.exe" with extension 93c70. BlueScreenView reports nothing further; all the rest of the parameters are zeroes. Event viewer doesn't seem to have much to say, other than the kernel power failure #41.
Here's an explanation of what I've done for troubleshooting...
BlueScreenView, of course, to watch the dumps. All I got was an error regarding "ntoskrnl.exe", and one of them also contained an error with "discache.sys", but that was only once, on the 5th crash or so.
Disconnected and reconnected all of the connections on the entire system, along with removing and replacing all the PCI cards and RAM modules.
Updated Windows, updated drivers. Ran driver verifier, I did have an issue with a virtual drive from an old CloneCD version. Uninstalled that, and verifier was happy on numerous runs.
I've gone through the removal process for old USB devices (I believe it came from this forum), thinking maybe there was some conflict between my old game controller and the new one.
Have run memory tests like crazy, using Windows memory diagnostic as well as MemTest86+, both on numerous occasions for several passes. No errors.
Ran FurMark stress test for hours, no errors and temps are good. Maxes out at 75 C and stays there.
Got the latest CoreTemp to watch that as well, we run at a chilly 106~110 on all four cores under fair load.
I've done integrity checks of the game to make sure that's not the problem.
I've tried disabling (but not completely removing) a few things, such as the ASUS AI Suite that came with my motherboard, and the BlueStacks Android emulator, which seems to pose issues on newer machines.
There's probably more I can't think of, but none of the troubleshooting I've done has not had any impact on the amount or frequency of my BSOD crashes.
I am attaching a copy of the .zip file from the log collector as outlined in this forum in hopes someone would be kind enough to look at the dumps and see if there's any further info to help pinpoint the issue. Thanks for reading my lengthy post, and I appreciate any feedback I can get.
Thanks,
Chew
