Solved BSOD once or twice a day after wake up

[Robin Macomber]

Hello,

My system is auto-restarting, apparently caused by a "unexpected shutdown" error.
I'm told this could be a power supply issue, but I thought I would check with some experts before I went out and bought a new one. Thank you in advance for any help!

Also seeing a BSOD cauused by

MDFSYSNT.sys - MacDrive file system driver Either remove the software or Reinstall the software :ar: MacDrive

nusb3hub.sys - NEC Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller Driver

Update your USB 3.0 Driver

 

[Robin Macomber]

I've installed the latest nVidia drivers, and the NEC driver. Hopefully this works! Thank you SO much for your help.

Leave the thread opened . Close it when you feel the BSODs stopped .

 

[Robin Macomber]

So far so good. I'll close at the end of the day if no BSOD

 

[VistaKing]

Keep it open for a few days then close it when the BSOD stopped .

 

[Robin Macomber]

I was fine for a day, but today I got another BDOS followed by a "please shutdown and connect the power supply to this graphics card" message! Could it be the power supply after all?

Robin Macomber , Did you plug the 6pin / 8pin to the side of the GPU?
What is the make and model of your PSU and how old is it?

Also upload a new instance of the .zip file SFDT generates.

 

[Robin Macomber]

it's an Antec Earthwatts 500w and is 3 years old as of May. I checked the 8pin connection, and it was a little loose. No new DMP file was generated as of today. Am I missing something? Thank you for your help, Yoyo155..

 

[YoYo155]

Please run another run of SFDT files are missing from the .zip you uploaded.
