Question: Are there any crashes when using a new build, especially with the new GPU compared to the old one?
Question: Are there any crashes when using a new build, especially with the new GPU compared to the old one?
I assembled the PC and didn’t encounter any issues during setup. Everything came together within a few days, but soon it turned into a series of problems. Initially, I faced severe Black Screen and flickering issues, which eventually led to the PC crashing multiple times in an hour or once every five hours. I repeatedly uninstalled drivers, ran a Memtest to check for RAM problems, but everything appeared normal. Now the system is experiencing crashes with errors displayed on BlueScreenView. This issue occurs specifically with the old GPU. I suspected a faulty GPU, but within 48 hours, the same problems started appearing even after installing the old GPU. The error logs are as follows:
- dxgkrnl.sys: multiple entries indicating system instability
- dxgmms2.sys: similar warnings about graphics issues
- watchdog.sys: watchdog driver errors
- New GPU Crash Error: additional details on kernel and crash
- ntoskrnl.exe: NT kernel logs showing system state
- nvlddmkm.sys: memory-related warnings
These logs suggest ongoing problems despite the initial setup.
What BIOS version is installed on your motherboard? Did you use DDU to uninstall all GPU drivers (Intel, AMD and Nvidia) in Safe Mode, then manually added the GPU drive version 566.36 from Nvidia's support site via an elevated command, such as right-clicking the installer and selecting Run as Administrator? Did you turn off the iGPU in BIOS?
I've used DDU to remove and reinstall drivers, and even tried Nvidias Program for uninstalling drivers.
I've tested the latest GPU drivers and BIOS updates, but I'm still on the newest driver version.
I plan to load up my BIOS to check if IGPU appears when I get home—I haven't adjusted that setting yet.
I switched to a new GPU because I thought the GPU problem was fixed with the latest Nvidia driver update. I also reinstalled Windows on a newer M.2 drive and re-downloaded all drivers, but it crashed again after about 9 or 10 hours, showing the same errors as before in BlueScreenView.
Looking into it carefully and keeping you informed about any updates. How often does this occur?
