A few months ago i was constantly getting BSOD's for random reasons. It could be triggered by just leaving the computer idle, or it could be triggered by random things like watching streams or playing games like hearthstone. but it never seems to happen when i play games that have high graphics like splinter cell or BF4. It took a break and stopped happening for about 3 months and now for some odd reason it is back. I have been searching for a solution to this for months but it seems like everything that ive tried does not work. I need help. It seems like majority of the time the BSOD is caused by ntoskrnl.exe and iusb3xhc.sys. Im just trying to find a way to fix this because ive become desperate.

Im not sure if you can read that link but i can link the BlueScreenViewer report on request. please help. Thank you.

9 crash dumps have been found and analyzed. 2 third party drivers have been identified to be causing system crashes on your computer. It is strongly suggested that you check for updates for these drivers on their company websites. Click on the links below to search with Google for updates for these drivers:

iusb3xhc.sys (Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver, Intel Corporation)
nvlddmkm.sys (NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 335.23 , NVIDIA Corporation)

If no updates for these drivers are available, try searching with Google on the names of these drivers in combination the errors that have been reported for these drivers and include the brand and model name of your computer as well in the query. This often yields interesting results from discussions from users who have been experiencing similar problems.


Read the topic general suggestions for troubleshooting system crashes for more information.

Note that it's not always possible to state with certainty whether a reported driver is actually responsible for crashing your system or that the root cause is in another module. Nonetheless it's suggested you look for updates for the products that these drivers belong to and regularly visit Windows update or enable automatic updates for Windows. In case a piece of malfunctioning hardware is causing trouble, a search with Google on the bug check errors together with the model name and brand of your computer may help you investigate this further.

Thanks for the program by the way. So far i've done what it has asked me and updated both of the drivers it listed. We'll see if any crashes still happen. As far as the other 7 crashes i still don't know what i can do to fix them.
