Solved BSOD 0x000000c5 DRIVER_CORRUPTED_EXPOOL

[caligrown]

Hello!

I started dabbling into overclocking my CPU just yesterday , following many guides and doing so slowly and "safely". I've found a mild OC of 4.2 GHz with stock voltage works well, and is enough for me.

While running OCCT to stress test the stability of the overclock, with a temperature auto-stop set if it hits 80C, I have been experiencing a BSOD. Yesterday it took around 8 hours of testing before the crash, today only about an hour.

Some info from BlueScreenView:
BSOD 0x000000c5 DRIVER_CORRUPTED_EXPOOL
Parameter 1: 00000001`00000000

Parameter 3: 00000000`00000000
Parameter 4: fffff800`021af9cc
Caused by Driver: ntoskrnl.exe
Caused by Address: ntoskrnl.exe+73c40
File Description: NT Kernel & System

Attached is the DM Log file. Thanks!

Reduce the over clock ??

Could the overclock cause a Corrupted-Driver BSOD?

Temps are all under 75C at full load, no errors with OCCT..

If it doesn't bsod without overclock and does bsod with overclock then ........

Thanks, yeah I was just thinking that I could have had an underlying driver issue that was only showing up under a stress test.

Bumped up the voltage just a touch and now it's perfectly fine!
