Random BSOD 0x00000116, dxgkrnl.sys, dxgmms1.sys, nvlddmkm.sys

[FragzZ]

This issue started back when I bought my 780ti. I bought a new PSU because I thought my older one couldn't handle it. The issue also still occurred when I bought the new PSU. I also let the retailer test some of my parts and they couldn't find any issues. I did a clean install of my Drivers, and it still occurred.
Also my older GPU was a 760.

Here are my specs:
Intel Core i5 3570k
ASrock extreme4 z77
Corsair h100i
Corsair Obsidian 750D
ASUS GTX 780ti
G.Skill 2x4gb (8gb) 1600mhz
Corsair RM850 Watt
Seagate 1TB HDD
Adata 120GB SSD
Samsung 250GB SSD

Also my other topic nobody replied, so yeah.

Greetings,

Every dump is a 0x116 which is a VIDEO_TDR_ERROR. This can be down to the driver, the card itself being bad, overheating and as an outside shot the power to the card.

Just to confirm that the dumps are blaming the nVidia driver

First of all give this a try, report back on how it goes and we'll look at further steps if needed.

Download this earlier version from here and follow NVIDIA Drivers - Avoid Problems for the cleanest possible install.

I followed the steps and did a new clean install. The card doesn't overheat I checked it while I was playing.

Anyway, let's see if this resolved my issue.

 

[Boozad]

I forgot to mention.

Uninstall Daemon Tools, a proven cause of BSODs.

1. Uninstall Daemon Tools.
2. Download the SPTD standalone installer and perform the following steps.
3. Double click the executable to open it.
4. Click the button shown below.

If the button it is grayed out as shown in the image, there is no more SPTD installation on your system and you can just close the window.

 

[FragzZ]

I see, well I got a new BSOD again but this one is different.

 

[Boozad]

Need the dump files.

 

[FragzZ]

It went right back to 116...

Also a friend of mine said his friend also had his issue with his old 560ti and under clocked it 50 mhz.

 

[Boozad]

Have you checked the card is seated properly and that the two six pin power connectors are fully seated?

It's seated properly, and both 8 pins are seated properly as well.

 

[Boozad]

Eight pins yes, it seems I have lost the ability to count.

Give this a go and see what happens.

:ar: Run Furmark to stress test your GPU. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/100356-video-card-stress-test-furmark.html

   Note

Run Furmark for around 30 minutes.

   Warning

Your GPU temperatures will rise quickly while Furmark is running. Keep a keen eye on them, if the temperature continues to rise steadily once it has reached 80°C be prepared to stop the test so as to not damage your GPU.

 

[FragzZ]

I ran it 30 minutes, no BSOD nothing. Max GPU temp was 82c and it didn't went higher than that.
I don't know where the log files are saved..

 

[Boozad]

That's promising, at least the card itself looks OK and temperatures look good. I'd be tempted to work through the drivers to try and find a stable version, alternatively do you have a spare PCIe slot you can test the card in?
