BSOD

[SilverTongue]

Hi guys keep getting BSOD 0x116 when gaming having googled about a bit I have found that it is apparently a problem with my graphics drivers. Have tired 4 different drivers from nVidia (todays, last weeks, the last WHQL and the one supplied with the card) to no avail.

have checked the temps using SpeedFan, GPU never goes over 35*

Card is a POV GTX560Ti Ultra charged

File on BSOD is "nvlddmkm.sys"

Really hoping its not the card itself as I don't have a spare one while I get it replaced.

Any help greatly appreciated whether it be a driver version to try or just telling me to send back to OcUK.

That links to the video card being the issue. If you have tried several different drivers and it still does it, it sounds like an RMA.

Does it happen whilst gaming or at anytime? Do you ever see "The driver has stopped responding and has recovered"? Is the BIOS on your MOBO up to date? Is your system ram all ok? (run memtest86+ to confirm it is or isn't.

 

[SilverTongue]

Not getting the driver stopped responding message it just goes straight to BSOD, so far has only done it whilst gaming, mainly in WoW, running F18 on a Gigabyte Z77-D3H so unless theres been another one then thats up-to-date, honestly didn;t think about memtest, how many passes do you think I should do?

 

[Gregster]

I would let it run overnight. Check in the morning and if nothing, all good on the mem. I have had faulty memory which gave BSODs but in fairness, this was at anytime. I would use something like afterburner to measure your GPU temps. It will show the hottest it got to whilst gaming.

Also, is your CPU overclocked?

 

[SilverTongue]

The only 'overclock' on CPU is when turbo mode is on, not sure how to disable that though CPU is an Intel 3470. Will try afterburner tomorrow if memtest comes back clear. If they are fine as well I guess I'll have to shout for 5UB

 

[SilverTongue]

Well something is definitely not right, PC just crashed 80% through the second pass. No errors on first pass though, is this more likely the RAM or the GPU?

 

[Gregster]

Leave only 1 stick of RAM in and rerun the test. If pass, swap that RAM over. Memtest used to need to be done from start up...Has this changed?

 

[SilverTongue]

. no hasn't changed posting from my phone atm. wil will try the 1 stick now
