Computer Bluescreens once a day

[morgangord]

hey i ran it, and rebooted and the Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violation message came up after it finished both times. what now?

 

[axe0]

Are the hardware tests completed? What are the results?

 

[axe0]

Hey axe, unfortunately i reinstalled windows which is why i only have 1 new dmp file. however if you want, i can go into my windows.old folder and grab the 7 dmps in there. they're about a week old though, if that matters. thanks

Do you still have the dumps? If you do, please zip them up and upload them.

 

[morgangord]

Ill have to do the memtest before i goto bed, but did a furmark again today after starting my computer up for the first time of the day and it seemed to crash at the same frame point as yesterdays. rebooted and aagain was fine and still is fine right now. (did another furmark and got to 3000 at 85 degrees once again)


so does this mean maybe its the graphics card or the graphics card driver? should i try uninstalling the graphics card driver and see if the computer crashes later?

 

[axe0]

Please uninstall everything of Nvidia using Display Driver Uninstaller and install new drivers from Nvidia

 

[morgangord]

yeah, i still have the dumps. ill upload them now. and the nvidia devices im using atm are the latest

 

[morgangord]

they're all in here

Can you recognize a specific moment or time when the crashes occur?

 

[morgangord]

It's usually either instantly after opening a game or 5 minutes after opening a game, but after the blue screen and it reboots, i can play the exact same game for 12+ hours straight with no crashes or bluescreens whatsoever.

 

[axe0]

Please reinstall your GPU drivers as suggested, to rule them out.

Do you get a crash when you're not playing any game for a few days?

okay, By the way my friend suggested i maybe try downloading an older driver for the 550 ti. should i do that or should i just reinstall the latest one?

and it's usually after i open a game or furmark. i never really get the first crash of the day unless i do open a game

 

[axe0]

I hope it doesn't really matter what version you install, but at least use DDU for a clean install of the drivers.

Do you have a setting for your GPU and/or CPU that is something like multicore rendering?

 

[morgangord]

Yeah, i believe there's options for that in the Nvidia control panel. should i disable it; if its enabled?

 

[axe0]

Yes please.

 

[morgangord]

Weird, i went into the control panel and i think i almost bluescreened and then a message popped up saying nvidia driver 358 or something stopped working. and then it recovered. my monitor went black for a few seconds

 

[axe0]

That would have been a 0x116(VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE) if it BSOD'd.

 

[morgangord]

This is what it says in event viewer. if it means nothing, i'll get back to you in a few hours. i've disabled multicore rendering, and i'm about to reinstall the video driver. sorry this is taking so long man.

 

[axe0]

Hi morgangord,

How is it going with the crashes?

 

[morgangord]

Hey axe, i've left my computer on sleep mode for the past 3 days. haven't turned it off once, and i've experienced no blue screens whatsoever(been playing games too).
