Receiving Generic Graphics Errors - Intermittent BSOD

[dinkelbacher]

Hey all - I've been having some issues with running any games that take "full" advantage of my GPU. This has been really frustrating for me. I notice it the most in GTAV, CIV VI and playing anything in VR.

I usually get a generic graphics error from GTA and when doing stuff in VR, I just get a bluescreen with this error: VIDEO SCHEDULER INTERNAL ERROR

My games run fine (no stuttering, consistent FPS at high settings), but after about an hour or so of playtime it just errors out and everything halts. I did not have this issue when I first built this machine. The only software I leave open while gaming is an RDP session monitoring my Plex server on my third monitor, and discord open on my second monitor.

Here's what I have tried already in order:
- uninstalling and reinstalling graphics drivers (both through windows (no results) and with DDU in safe mode (also with no results))
- removed the razer synapse(?) software; read somewhere that device specific software can make graphics behave weird
- removed the software that controls my audio interface; read somewhere that device specific software can make graphics behave weird
- fresh install of windows
- fresh install of the oculus software and any problematic games
- dismantled my entire build to inspect for any visible damage near or around the PCI slot the GPU sits in or any damaged pins on the GPU itself (didn't see anything other than an obscene amount of dust, which I cleaned out)
- sfc /scannow found corruption, repaired it, and i am still seeing the issue

Screenshots from the errors from the games; also attached, .txt files from Blue Screen Viewer outlining the crashes mentioned earlier in the post.

Use MSI Afterburner to drop GPU's clocks and VRAM's clocks to, say, half of what they are by default and see if the problem goes away. If it goes away, you most likely have bad VRAM.

Will do! Really hope this isn't the case. Going to be difficult to test since I can't directly reproduce the issue.

That was quick! The problem did not go away after dropping my clocks in Afterburner. I got the same error listed above in GTA. GTA is freshly installed and vanilla btw.

Well, I don't have any good ideas right now, then. I'll circle back, if I come up with something for you to try.

Alright, thank you for your suggestion.

 

Logging off for the night. I'll be back in 9 or so hours.

Bump. I really want to get down to the root of this issue. Does anyone else have any ideas of what the issue could be?

Test the card in another system.

Test a different card in the current system.

Solved. Swapped the motherboard out with a MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus board, and the issue vanished. Exact issue undetermined, but the motherboard swap resolved the issue.

Did you do a Windows clean install ?
