What's Wrong: Most applications and games will randomly crash to the desktop frequently. These include: SteamVR (Error 203) Battlebit Remastered VRChat Blender Unity Discord 3DMark (Time Spy normal and extreme often crash at the CPU test) Star Citizen Some of the BSOD codes I've been getting: IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR EQUAL_TO ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Things I've Already Tried: Almost everything! x_x Hardware Troubleshooting included: Changing the CPU for an identical brand new one. Tried a different set of DDR5. Booted the system with only one stick of RAM. Swapped the motherboard for the DDR4 version and installed my old RAM. Removed any overclocking (including XMP) Ran MemTest86+ for about 10 hours and zero errors. Also Tried TestMem5 Absolut profile for about an hour. Ensured my system wasn't overheating. CPU is on avg 56° idle and 85° under load. Replaced my AIO for a new one. Installed a brand new power supply Swapped my Nvidia 3090 Founders Edition GPU for a brand new Zotac 3060 ti to see if that would stop the crashing. Removed any unnecessary USB devices and peripherals. Software Troubleshooting I've Tried: It's been difficult to identify the exact issue because most of the time I don't get any error messages when these apps crash. They just go straight to the desktop with nothing. Installed Windows 11 to a brand new Samsung 970 Evo 2TB SSD. Installed Windows 10 to that same new SSD. Booted Windows 11 into a "clean" state with zero non-Microsoft services or apps loaded in the background. Ran 3DMark with the Time Spy benchmark which will often crash during the CPU test portion. The normal one only crashes sometimes but the Extreme version will either blue screen or just shut my PC down entirely. Combed through the Windows Event Viewer looking for any clues. Found lots of errors logged in there. The most common were 0xc0000005 (nvwgf2umx.dll and many others), 0xc0000409 (steamtours.exe), and 0x80000003 (obs-browser-page.exe). Ran SFC /scannow and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth several times. A few times they would find and fix system file corruption. Ran CHKDSK to verify the integrity of my Windows install drive. Installed the latest versions of the following drivers: GPU, network, chipset, Realtek audio, WiFi, Bluetooth, network, and Intel Management Engine. Updated motherboard BIOS to the latest. (Version 7D91vH6) Lowering the frequency of my RAM. Ran a Windows Defender virus scan. Hardware Specs: CPU: Intel i9-13900k. (Stock) Motherboard: MSI Z790 MPG Edge Wifi.

That's all I can think of right now. I'll also include a copy of the Windows minidump files below as well as pics from the Windows Reliability Monitor! Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm honestly at my wits end with this. I've tried almost everything I can think of things are still crashing very frequently. Sometimes even within like 20 minutes... Minidump & Pics.zip

I suspect that my PC is dying and I suspect the GPU. I built my PC in March last year, so I’m guessing it’s a faulty unit. I ran several tests and benchmarks to try and diagnose the problem. Earlier this week, I booted up my PC and was greeted with an extremely low screen resolution. It turned out that the graphics driver was not enabled. I uninstalled the driver and rebooted after re-downloading drivers. That seemed to fix the resolution and driver issue. After that, multiple games had CTD trying to start up (Project Warlock and Warhammer 40k Battlefleet: Gothic Armada 2). I got suspicious after this, so I updated my Windows 10, did a clean install of my nvidia drivers, and even tried rolling back the drivers to a previous version. None of those fixed the problem. I did some experimenting with different games and used some benchmark programs to test things. All CTD events so far from all games produced a crash report with no info. Here’s what I’ve got so far: - DOOM Eternal suddenly cuts to a black screen but sound continues to play. I started the game three times. The first time the black screen happened 5 minutes after startup, second time it was 20 minutes, third time black screen occurred after 45 minutes of play. -Cyberpunk 2077 had a CTD on startup; restarted the PC and tried again. Game ran for 10 minutes, then CTD. Mouse was laggy and low FPS on desktop afterwards until restart. This happed with Gothic Armada 2 as well. -3DMark benchmark software soft-locked after running its initial test. Tried twice, needed system restart to fix both times. -20 minutes ago my wifi stopped working. Troubleshooting produced a problem with the wireless adapter. Home wifi is still operational. At this point I think it might possibly be the motherboard as well. I have an RTX 2080 and a Ryzen 9 3900x CPU. PC is plugged into a surge protector. I’m really stumped at this point. I could pull parts and replace them to find out what’s wrong, but the problem is that I don’t have any replacements to test them with. Any advice?

My recently bought PC from Cyberpower crashes to desktop during every game I have tried so far. The crashing always occurs after about 10 minutes of gameplay on high-ultra graphics at 1080p. The card is a RTX 3070 Gigabyte Eagle OC and the games I have tried so far are: -Cyberpunk 2077 -Red Dead Redemption II -Battlefield 4 -COD: Warzone -New World The crashing takes place after about 10 minutes of gameplay. RDR2 did not CTD when I ran it in safe mode, but I only tested for approximately 10 minutes. I ran FurMark3D for 15 minutes and there was no crashing either. I am at a lost of what to test/change. I was previously given two different RTX 3070 Gigabyte Gaming OC's and both of them arrived with visual artifacting. I am at my wits end here, never buying a Gigabyte card again, but any help to resolve this issue would be super appreciated.

Hi there Recently, I bought an AMD card to enjoy more of Microsoft's new flight sim. Turns out the drivers are unusable and lead to tons of CTDs. I thought it might have been a weird issue with my combo of MB and card. However, others are joining the band after I posted my problem on the AMD forums. Maybe we can narrow this down as to why all these CTDs happen. Or someone qualified can find out what exactly causes these problems. Here's my origfinal post on the AMD forums: https://community.amd.com/t5/drivers-software/when-shall-i-test-my-rx6900-again-ctds-in-msfs-2020-since-switch/td-p/467746/jump-to/first-unread-message Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Jerry

So I've been building computers for a good six years and I recently ran into a problem that I've never encountered before. I built myself a new personal rig and for the first time ever, games started to crash without warnings or errors, yet I never got a BSOD. For reference, Here are my specs: Torrent Meshify 2 compact standard edition Corsair RM750x Gold Edition (2021, modular) MSI 3060 TI Ventus 2x OC edition (v1) Torrent Flex B-20 Gpu Riser (Gen3) AMD Ryzen 5900x (base speed) Kraken x63 standard edition Artic MX-4 thermal paste (2021) Msi B550 Gaming Plus Motherboard 2x8 TeamGroup Elite 3200mhz ram (base speed) 2x140mm and 1x120mm outtake fans (two of which are RGB fans) 2x140mm and 1x120mm intake fans Asia Horse Cable Extensions for all devices 18AWG At first, Games would run for a while, but eventually crash to desktop. I also noticed auditory and visual artifacting between games. From my experience, lower end programs like Risk of Rain 2 would crash less often, but still crash at peak demand. Games like Grounded, Elden RIng and RDR2 would load in lagging and then crash seconds later, with fluctuating stability between attempts. Weirdly, despite all that, Heaven's benchmark could run for hours and never crash, but it would still stutter lightly on occasion. I tried DDU, rolling back a DD version, updating bios, downgrading bios, reinstalling windows cleanly, undervolting, changing power configurations in Windows and Nvidia Control Panel, reseating and reconnecting cables, running games in safe mode, removing RGB software, installing newer AMD chipset drivers, etc. But then it hit me! My board and cpu config can support PCIE gen4 devices, so I enabled them, not realizing that my Flex B-20 was only configured for 3rd gen. I also noticed that my PCIE cable extension was plugged into the pigtail end of PSU's PCIE cable, which I believe was causing problems when high voltages were necessary. After manually setting my x16 gen speed to 3rd gen, all instability was gone. So bottom line is, remember that GPU riser cables are not typically 4th gen natively and you may need to reconfigure your pc to accommodate such accessories.

I recently switched from an intel processor to AMD along with a new motherboard but since booting have been experiencing issues with many of the games that used to run fine on my old processor. Most games that don't seem to be too memory-hungry (i.e. Mordhau, Rising Storm 2 Vietnam, etc) run fine, but when I run games like The Witcher 3 or Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, the game will (not always but 90% of the time) CTD on a save load, shortly thereafter, or after some duration of gameplay while accessing the pause menu/inventory. I did attempt to reinstall all the drivers I could think of (CPU, GPU, as well as additional Motherboard support software) but my issue persisted. I then attempted to 'reset' windows using the function in settings, but to no avail. I currently am attempting clean installs of all the games that have caused me issues thus far. Any other suggestions as to what could cause this problem would be helpful! Here are my specs: AMD Ryzen 3600x running at 4.2GHz with stock cooler (Wraith spire) Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (11GB VRAM) ASRock Phantom 4 Gaming motherboard 4x4gb DDR4 Corsair Vengeance LPX ram at 2133MHz Samsung Evo 860 500GB SSD Seagate Firecuda 1TB Hybrid (steam + older game install location) Corsair CX600 psu Any and all help would be appreciated!

I posted this before but since being advised to turn off the paging file i have and now i just get my pc crashing (going black turning straight off and restarting again) This will happen just as consistantly as the paging file error. Im also recieving additional weird behaviour such as when playing games such as Rainbow Six Siege i will get my CPU running at 100% and the game will stutter and my mouse will lag extremely and audio in discord will stutter until i get my pc crashing again. I used to be able to run siege with the same settings just fine, ive even turned them down. i also get near constant crashes CTD in PUBG which is a large open world game so my thoughts are maybe it could be ram now, but im split between it being that and my hard drive. One last fault is that i have red LEDs on my case and sometimes at the same time as the cpu hitting 100% they flicker and even get darker as if they are recieving less power. I have opened up my pc removed and put the ram back in place and checked all connections which seems to be fine. I have also run malware bytes which found a few Potentially Unwanted Programs but nothing serious. and i have also changed from bit defender to AVG. im really struggling here if anyone could help this would be amazing! I was experiencing multiple different BSOD errors. they seemed to happen almost daily, generally when installing, downloading, or playing memory intensive games. though could go day to day without one occuring and other days they happen multiple times. I have run MEMtest 15 times and it came back clean, i have also checked my hardrive for errors with disk check, again clean. hard disk sentinel also came back clean with 100% health. I cant always take a picture of the bsods but some of the ones i remember are: BSOD Paged fault in non paged area (this one is most common) Memory Management (again very common) System service exception (not as often) IRQL_not_less_or_equal (twice) I will post my Specs below: Operating System Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1 CPU Intel Core i5 4690 @ 3.50GHz Haswell 22nm Technology RAM 16.0GB DDR3 Corsair Vengence CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10 Motherboard Gigabyte Technology Co.

I have a 750Ti superclocked edition from EVGA, and I bought it last September for my first PC build. Everything was perfect, performed just fine, not a hitch. And about 3 months ago, the performance very quickly degraded to the point of me requesting and receiving an RMA from EVGA, only to get the exact same issues after about 2 weeks of having the new GPU. All of this happened after a driver installation and I haven't been able to fix it since. There are many many threads on my page asking about this issue, but everyone disappears after a day, so I have to keep making topics should I wish to find a fix. On the previous thread, I was told to use DDU and then rollback, which I did, and everything worked... until I restart my PC. When I restart my PC, you wouldn't be able to tell that I ever tried anything to fix it, as I was playing Skyrim earlier today, restarted my PC, and then the display driver kept crashing. Does anybody please have a way to fix this? And don't say 'Buy a new GPU' because I have very limited funds, and I'm hoping to buy one around Christmas time, where I can then get a better GPU

Gday Everyone. I've been having problems over the past couple of months involving the KERNELBASE.DLL. It has been causing crashes in multiple programs including Prepar3d, GeForce Experience and more. These programs have become unusable because the crash happens every time I attempt to use them. The problem with the DLL started occurring right after I replaced the AMD Radeon HD 6450 that came with my computer, with a new Nvidia GTX 750 Ti. And I have read on the internet that new hardware has been known to cause the problem. However, I still can't find a fix. I've looked just about everywhere and tried just about everything. All my graphics drivers are up to date, I've gone in to msconfig and disabled most (not all) startup programs. I've also disabled all system services (except Microsoft ones) and tried rebooting with no luck. And of course, I've also tried going in to command prompt and running sfc /scannow Countless times. Here are the details of some crashes, this particular one was in Prepar3d; Faulting application name: Prepar3D.exe, version: 2.5.12944.0, time stamp: 0x54ee1a39 Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 6.1.7601.18409, time stamp: 0x53159a86 Exception code: 0xe0434352 Fault offset: 0x0000c42d Faulting process id: 0x1744 Faulting application start time: 0x01d07053189c71d5 Faulting application path: C:\P3D\Prepar3D.exe Faulting module path: C:\Windows\syswow64\KERNELBASE.dll Report Id: 52c42679-dc49-11e4-a0b5-d4bed9d039f0 and this one for GeForce Experience; Faulting application name: GFExperience.exe, version: 17.12.8.0, time stamp: 0x54b8aef5 Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 6.1.7601.18409, time stamp: 0x53159a86 Exception code: 0xe0434352 Fault offset: 0x0000c42d Faulting process id: 0x22ac Faulting application start time: 0x01d06c3978376bce Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\NVIDIA GeForce Experience\GFExperience.exe Faulting module path: C:\Windows\syswow64\KERNELBASE.dll Report Id: d6a13dd0-d82c-11e4-9f43-d4bed9d039f0 Note: I have seen the faulting module be the KERNELBASE.DLL from system32 rather than syswow64. Also, Prepar3d is a 32-bit application, so I don't really know why it uses the one from syswow64. Not sure if that means anything, but just thought I'd add it. I'd really appreciate your help guys, and here's all my specs.

Title says it all. I've been looking for answers but the only related posts I find are people on the steam community who have the same problem posted with no one reacting to them. So basically I downloaded the game, launch through steam, watch company logos, watched the intro cutscene without skipping, when it ends the game has stopped working in windows (8.1). I had the specs maxed out at first, then turned them to high to see if it would make a difference. If you haven't solved this problem before or know a thread on any forum somewhere that solves this I would really appreciate it. Please don't react to tell me I have to run as admin or in compatibilty mode , I've tried all those common fixes.

I tried to revisit the game Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and noticed that I am unable to start the multiplayer game client at all as I get the dreadful 'JK2MP has stopped working' window as soon as I launch it. The strange thing is that I can play the single-player game client perfectly and heck, even Jedi Academy (single and multiplayer) without any crashing, which uses the same base tech as Jedi Outcast. I'm running Windows 8.1 with a GeForce GTX 750 Ti and I know I never crashed when I started JK2 multiplayer before I added the video card (just Intel HD 4600 before and that ran the multiplayer game client just fine). I tried everything; including verifying the game on Steam, and even using the OpenGL32 plugin via GLDirect.
