Kernal Security Check Failure

Okay so this has been happening since I updated to Windows 10. First off, I had a GTX 960 with updated drivers. Sometimes when I played a game, it could be 5 minutes or an hour but after a while, I would get a BSOD that said Kernal Security Check Failure. I live chatted with Nvidia and we rolled back the drivers a couple times until we actually found one that worked. That worked great for a long time but yesterday, I got a GTX 1070 and it is doing it again. What I have eliminated from the problem based on when it was happening compared to when I purchased them are the PSU, RAM, and GPU. The Nvidia lady recommended updating the bios of my motherboard which is an MSI P34 FX with an FX 8320. I am in the process of doing this with MSI Live Update 6 which is making me hopeful because there were actually a few updates for my motherboard. The other component I think may be causing the problem is corruption in my hard drive or something. If the Bios update doesn't work, I was planning on maybe picking up an SSD just because I've been wanting an SSD and the fact that I could do a clean install of windows on it. Any help would be much appreciated!!!

When you got the 1070, I assume you updated the drivers and that's why the troubles started again?

Yes, exactly the problem

So we know something in the newer drivers is conflicting with your system. I'd complete your current process of updating everything else, like the BIOS, etc. and see how that goes.

Is this the right file to upload for the File Collection App thing?

SysnativeFileCollectionApp.zip

I'm not sure what that is

Idk there is a topic at the top that says run this before posting BSOD stuff and I guess it is supposed to gather info for you guys to help or something

oh right that.  I don't know if anyone actually knows what to do with that.  Best case we see something like atiblahblah.sys and know it's a driver issue xD

 

Besides, we already know it's a driver issue, and specifically that the new ones are causing you issues for some reason.  We know your system (in terms of software) is more or less fine because it works with the old drivers, and the hardware is all good too.  And, if none of the hardware is defective, everything should work, in theory.  I'd say it's likely something just needs an update.

Well, after the Motherboard drivers and everything were updated, I played Arma 3 for like 15 minutes which is like 10 minutes more than I was able to earlier and there was no BSOD so I am really hopeful that I just solved the problem :)  (fingers crossed) but I will have to play more tomorrow and check for sure.

Are you sure you got real nvidia drivers right from their website?  There's a comment in one of the files about them being unsigned...

I looked it up and a lot of people say that it means Microsoft has not certified the driver yet...

And I mean it is pretty new so I guess that makes sense

Have you tried one from the nvidia website?  It's possible this uncertified driver is the problem.

Ya, the first one I tried before I contacted Nvidia was from the Nvidia website and so he gave me the link to this one. It also says my drivers are up to date in the Nvidia Geforce Experience application which I assume means it is the right driver
