I have a computer that has been Blue Screening lately and it happens consistently at the same time. I am not sure why it only happens at this time. When I run Manga Studio 5 and xsplit at the same time, streaming to Twitch/Justin.tv, after about 20 - 30 min, I get BSOD.

I know enough to figure out a little about this and I used WhoCrashed to find out the cause of my crash and it was nvlddmkm.sys. I figured it was an nvidia driver at the time and researched to make sure. The thing is I did switch from a GeForce 660ti to a Radeon R9 280x. In most situations it seems to be working fine, like gaming.

So after finding the driver was the issue I downloaded the Driver Sweeper (the newer differently named one that i can't remember for the moment) and launched it in safe mode. I selected the Nvidia drivers and removed everything (this was after using control panel and removed/uninstalled all nvidia referenced programs also).

Thing is, after rebooting, testing again by trying to stream with the same application, it gave me a BSOD again. Once again, it was the same referenced driver.

If you need specs on the computer let me know but since I think it only involves the driver itself I didn't post all of it yet.

Anyone have any ideas for a way to eliminate this driver and the problems it is causing?

Thanks.

Hi. I would go through there and uninstall all of your Nvidia drivers. Use REVO Uninstaller to do a really good job.
