BSOD While using GeForce GT 555M on all games

[MackyD]

The past few months I've been getting blue screens of death while playing any game after 5min - 30min, Ive updated my Nvidia drivers to the recommend but nothing has worked it was a clean install using driver sweeper and I've also tryed restoring computer to factory setting which also didn't work. Hope someone can help I've added my files.

Update: The blue screen says something about nvkflt.sys and I have also disabled my Geforce Gt 555M in my drivers for the time being as it is a temporary fix until i can fix it permanently.

The latest version of the display driver, that is the 320.49 WHQL is problematic in cases. Install the NVIDIA DRIVERS 314.22WHQL only.

• Uninstall All nvidia items in Control Panel > Programs and features
  • 3D Vision Control Driver
  • 3D Vision Driver
  • Graphics Driver
  • HD Audio Driver
  • PhysX
  • nvidia Update
  (Are you using nvidia chipset drivers? If so, dont uninstall anything other than those are listed).
• Now follow Drivers - Clean Left over Files after Uninstalling
• Boot normally now. Go to Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers, Download 314.22 WHQL. While installing, Select Custom (Advanced) install. In the next page, follow this settings:
  
  

If you are overclocking, Stop.

Stress test the Graphics Card using Furmark.

Let us know the results.

Thanks for the reply, I've done all of the above and ran the Furmark for 20mins. There were no BSOD during this time, but to be sure it has been fixed I'll run some games over the next few hours which previously gave me BSOD, I'll post back with and update in a few hours.

 

[MackyD]

Unfortunately this has not fixed the problem, I've just had another BSOD while playing Gary's Mod after 15mins. I've attcached the new files.

Stress test the Graphics Card using Furmark.

Thanks for the quick reply, I currently have Speccy running and I'll post its results after a few hours. I'm not sure what you want me to find out about my PSU I didn't even know what it was till I just wiki'd it :/ I don't know how to calculate the recommended on that website and don't know the wattage of my PSU. I replaced my battery last week as the old battery was apparently dead and wouldn't charge but my new battery came a few days ago but it won't charge either I thought it was just a dodgy battery but maybe there's not enough power being supplied to it? Is there anyway to test this.

 

[Arc]

Sorry I missed that it is a laptop. My bad.

No calculation is needed.

If the battery is not being charged, and it was the same with the earlier one ... try changing the power adapter cord.

 

[MackyD]

This is the speccy results after 2 hours of normal usage. Nothing gets hot only when I Furmark and it goes to 80dgrs max as fans kick in and it cools down to around 75dgrs etc..

 

[Arc]

Make it sure that the battery is getting charged
Apparently there is no other issue.

 

[MackyD]

I've ordered a new AC Adapter cable as well as anew laptop battery hopefully this fixes the problem. I didn't know a battery problem could cause a Nvidia driver BSOD.

A stop 0x116 (and stop 0x117) is a display/graphics related BSOD. It occurs due to various reasons, but the crash dump shows the display driver as the error, as it fails at the end. Inadequate power supply is a very frequent cause of such a BSOD. If the adapter is not working properly, there is fair chance that such a BSOD may occur.
