BSOD occurred when I powered off and restarted my laptop from sleep.
I've faced a BSOD with a MEMORY_MANAGEMENT error twice this week, both after waking up my laptop from sleep after a short gaming session. It reminds me of the WHEA PCI/PCIE Bus Errors I mentioned earlier. I've run tests with Windows Memory Diagnostic, Dell's Hardware Diagnostic, and checked my SSD using CrystalDisk Info—all came back clean. Still, I'm unsure what else to try or how critical this might be. My system specs are: Dell XPS 15 9560 i7-7700HQ (undervolted with Throttlestop at -120mV offset), 16GB RAM DDR4, NVidia GTX 1050, 4GB PM961 NVMe, 512GB SSD, BIOS v1.18, Windows 10 Home 64bit (21H2). Anyone have advice or should I be concerned? Dump files.7z
Your system's undervolt isn't fully stable. When using ThrottleStop, review the Sleep Defaults settings for Cache Ratio and Voltage. This guides ThrottleStop to adjust the voltage to default values right before sleep begins. It will revert your undervolt automatically when you wake up. If this doesn’t resolve the issue, lower your undervolt setting. Consider -100 mV for the core and cache. Stability problems often arise when the CPU is lightly active or during sleep mode transitions. A voltage that works well in games may not suffice for everyday use. This is what your machine is indicating.
Thanks for the feedback. I’ll check the results in a few days. It’s puzzling since I’ve always used the same low voltage settings and this has never happened before. What could cause this change now?
It's common for the CPU voltage needs to shift over time. The 7700HQ is now 5 years old and requires higher voltage. Intel adds extra voltage to ensure long-term reliability. When you locate a stable voltage, you can expect lasting performance for another five years.
Thanks in advance. It looks like everything is working well so far. If I encounter another BSOD, I’ll reduce the undervolt setting. Cheers!
