Hey all, thought I'd check in here and get advice on a BSOD issue that's been occurring last little while, now my card was* overlocked but i decided to restore it to default settings to see if it was a dodgy O.C. but gaming today and Diablo 3 crashed with about 30 mins of play and then about 10 mins ago I got a blue screen when playing a MP game with a friend, never had an issue with temps even when O.C - temp was 54-6 degrees when my system blue screened)

When I check BlueScreenView all my last crashed have 3 filenames highlighted red in common

atikmpag.sys
dxgkrnl.sys
dxgmms1.sys


whats your rough first opinions - borked card/software conflict or something else


Bit more data - I am using a 2 screen setup and occasionally the 2nd screen will go up the left (all fuzzy etc) a restart will fix it.

Any help welcome

Doco.
 
Blue screen viewer shows it starting around feb. it just seems to have gotten bad recently - no changes in hardware from November and no driver updates I can recall.
 
Well this has gone from bad to worse lol aye my cpu is overclocked, has been from I got it, didnt think it was it because ati etc thought it may have been card related, I'l restore my cpu to stock then and see if it re-occurs over the next few days
 
edit sorry my bad wrong information. 116 is from overclocking GPU not CPU the CPU code is 124

0x101 = increase vcore
0x124 = increase/decrease QPI/VTT first, if not increase/decrease vcore...have to test to see which one it is
on i7 45nm, usually means too little VVT/QPI for the speed of Uncore
on i7 32nm SB, usually means too little vCore
0x0A = unstable RAM/IMC, increase QPI first, if that doesn't work increase vcore
0x1A = Memory management error. It usually means a bad stick of Ram. Test with Memtest or whatever you prefer. Try raising your Ram voltage
0x1E = increase vcore
0x3B = increase vcore
0x3D = increase vcore
0xD1 = QPI/VTT, increase/decrease as necessary, can also be unstable Ram, raise Ram voltage
0x9C = QPI/VTT most likely, but increasing vcore has helped in some instances
0x50 = RAM timings/Frequency or uncore multi unstable, increase RAM voltage or adjust QPI/VTT, or lower uncore if you're higher than 2x
0x109 = Not enough or too Much memory voltage
0x116 = Low IOH (NB) voltage, GPU issue (most common when running multi-GPU/overclocking GPU)
0x7E = Corrupted OS file, possibly from overclocking. Run sfc /scannow and chkdsk /r

So ignore, above are you overclocking the GPU??

And just for testing I would still run the CPU stock or lower down the OC for little while.
 
I did have the card O.C. but restored to default settings (non-O.C.) and got a x116 BSOD today
 
Hada look in my bios and PCH voltage is 1.058v and "auto"

Seeing has 116 means its low I would expect you have to higher this. But am in no way asking you to higher to something I don't fully understand whats classed as safe.. I see post on Google saying 1.1 etc
