BSOD with different codes while gaming. Need help !

[Kblade]

Hi everyone,

 

I’ve been playing on this config without changing a single thing for a little over a year now. I’ve recently started getting BSOD while gaming out of nowhere even after a complete Windows 11 reinstall from a USB. BSOD appears between 2 minutes and an hour of playing the game.

 

At first my pc would freeze for a second, then the blue screen page would appear for not even half a second and computer would restart itself. I then turned off the automatic restart in advanced system options and now it doesn’t restart itself after crashing. Now the blue screen page appears and it gets stuck at 0% no matter how long I leave it there. I would also note that at the moment of the crash my second monitor always freezes in a weird lagged way with the screen all bugged and then on my main monitor is stuck on the blue screen page. 

 

Every single time I crash it stays stuck at 0% and the Mini Dump always fails to get created even after I followed every step to activate the creation of Mini dumps. Every time I crash it fails to create Mini Dump so sorry but I don’t have any for y’all.

 

I’ve gotten a few error since this started happening :

• CRITICAL PROCESS DIED
• UNEXPECTED_STORE _EXCEPTION
• REGISTRY_FILTER_DRIVER_EXCEPTION (What failed : WdFilter.sys)
• KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR
• SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION

 

I think the one I’ve gotten de most is the UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION

 

 

Unsuccessful things I’ve tried :

• I have tried reinstalling Windows 11 completely
• Stressing all part of the computer to cause a crash but it only seems to happen when I’m playing games
• Making sure all drivers are up to date
• Updating BIOS
• Turning on/off D.O.C.P

 

The only thing that kinda worked for a bit was reseating my RAM, GPU and NVME. First time I did it I was able to game 2 full days without crashing. Then it started crashing constantly again so I tried reseating RAM, GPU and NVME once again and I was able to play all my games with no problem for more than a week, but now it crashed this morning while playing WoW and I wasn’t doing anything particularly demanding. The error I got this morning was KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR and it still got stuck on 0% BSOD.

 

Maybe also worth noting that when getting BSOD every component stays on including all the RGB. Even when I was getting restarts without blue screen, when turning off and on really quick none of the lights would close, only the screen would shut down and right away I would see the booting logo from Asus without any RGB or hardware turning off.

 

I am very desperate and I can't stop thinking about it because I want to play lol. Thanks in advance for anyone who will help, much love.

Open "Event Viewer" (through Windows Search or right click windows Logo, not sure if it works the same way in Windows 11 )

> click on "Windows Logs"

> click on "System"

Check and see if you got any "Critical" Level, or "Error" level messages

This way it can show you where (which PC component) to start look at, in my case, this PC have a failing drive, but not affecting me in anyway.

 

You can also arrange by "source", "Kernel-General" should tells when your PC started back up after a BSOD, you can go back in Date and Time and see what failed or gave warning before that.

I also forgot mention, run a system integrity check

 

Search in Windows "CMD" or "Command Prompt", then run as administrator.

and type "sfc /scannow" and hit "enter".

It will tell you the system is good, or have corruption, if yes it will attempt to fix it.

(Hummm lucky me I didn't even have symptoms)

Once the prompt is back to "system32>_" like shown, it is done. You can just close it.

 

 

Combined with the Event Viewer, you should able to figure out what is wrong and start from there.

The other Member already mentioned bunch of diagnostic tools. Given the BSOD messages have driver related errors, try update drivers from Mobo/GPU venders, Corsair also my have firmware update in iCUE. 

 

You can also check your Sabrent Rocket m.2 drive using Windows's own chkdsk (This PC> Right click the drive>Properties> "Tools" tab>Check)

 (or check SMART information using a software called "CrystalDiskInfo")

Thanks for both answer, I did try sfc /scannow but it found nothing  Everytime I crash there is some info in Even Viewer I'll try to send some stuff tonight when I get back home. I also did update all my major drivers like chipset, gpu, ram, bios, mobo, sound, internet and lan.

 

Some errors can in fact be driver related but I don't understand why everytime I reseat my GPU, RAM and NVME it stops crashing for a while. I've been playing for over a week after reseating my hardware and now it crashed this morning, thats why I think its hardware related, would I be wrong thinking that?

 

EDIT : Forgot to mention that nothing came up in CrystalDisk aswell. I didnt try the chkdsk thing yet I will try this tonight as i've seen lots of people saying it helped.

It is general rule of thumb suspect software problem before hardware. Hardware failure usually have immediate symptoms, like system crashing after few minutes, when launch a game, artifacts on screen, especially if not posting or something like that.

mSince you were able to game just fine for weeks, it's more likely software/driver conflict, or something is wrong in your RAM/storge device and preventing system from rederiving that data. It only happens sparsely because these devices are not always utilized as often as CPU, GPU and PSU.

 

I would recommend try Windows Memory Diagnostic (comes with Windows, just type " Windows Memory Diagnostic" in Windows search) and Mentest86 (more through) for checking your RAM. (I had Corsair's Vengeance 16gb DDR4 fail on me and cause random BSOD, confirmed with Memtest86 and replaced by Corsair)

 

CHKDSK can check if you have other data corruptions. It can check and see if there are errors in file directory caused by files not written properly due to BSOD or power outage.

 

Although unlikly (because your system hardware is rather new), I would also suggest try a fresh install of Windows too if you have a spare hard drive or something laying around. (Best way to rule out driver and software problem, keep in mind default Microsoft drivers may or may not be more stable ones from your vender)

 

Lastly, I would also suggest try update your Motherboard BIOS if you never done that since buying the system, see if that helps.
