What's happening with the boot problem and BSOD?
What's happening with the boot problem and BSOD?
I'm having two frustrating issues with my PC, and I'm hoping someone here might have some insight.
Boot Issue:
More often than not, my PC doesn’t boot properly. The power button just blinks slowly (about every 1-2 seconds), and nothing happens. Sometimes it eventually starts, other times I have to force shut it down and try again. I’ve checked my motherboard’s manual (
ASUS PRIME B650M-A WIFI
) to see what the blinking power button indicates, but I can't find a clear explanation for the issue.
BSOD in Games (nvlddmkm):
Every time I launch a game, my PC crashes with a BSOD. The dump file points to
nvlddmkm.sys
, which I know is related to NVIDIA drivers. What’s strange is that
some days it works without any issues at all, but after a reboot, the problem comes back.
I’ve tried reinstalling/updating drivers, but no luck so far.
PC Specs:
CPU:
AMD Ryzen 5 7600X (4.7 GHz, 38MB)
GPU:
GeForce RTX 4070 PALIT
RAM:
G.Skill 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz CL30 Trident Z Neo
Motherboard:
ASUS PRIME B650M-A WIFI
PSU:
Corsair RM850e ATX 3.0 850W
Troubleshooting Steps I've Tried:
GPU drivers:
Done a clean install with
DDU
, tried multiple older driver versions.
Event Viewer logs:
Checked for any critical errors but didn’t find anything obvious.
Hardware checks:
Reseated most components, checked RAM modules together and one by one using
Windows Memory Diagnostic
and
MemTest
(no errors).
OS reinstall:
Did a
complete reinstall of Windows and all files
, but the issues persist.
Driver integrity check:
Checked my drivers for errors to ensure nothing is corrupted or missing.
Motherboard manual check:
Followed my motherboard’s manual to understand the blinking power button, but I can't pinpoint the exact issue.
Deep dive into nvlddmkm solutions:
Gone through most of the internet on this issue—tried
underclocking hardware, adjusting power settings, giving permissions to nvlddmkm.sys
, and various other suggested fixes.
At this point, I'm running out of ideas. Any suggestions on what else I could try? Thanks in advance for any help!
DUMP: I have more files, they say pretty much the same, at the moment I have trouble creating a for example mediafire link for them as it says that I'm lacking permissions..

SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (7e)
This is a very common BugCheck. Usually the exception address pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem. Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Arguments:
Arg1: ffffffffc0000005, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: fffff8047e3350af, The address that the exception occurred at
Arg3: ffffb281bec8e278, Exception Record Address
Arg4: ffffb281bec8da60, Context Record Address
