For several months now, i have been getting BSODs, primarily whenever i watch a video while i am playing any game. it does not necessarily happen the moment i start the video, but generally within 10 minutes of starting the video i will BSOD. i have successfully played graphically intense games like Overwatch, Dirt Rally, for hours without issue. if I then try to watch a video and continue playing. a BSOD will occur soon after. I have done some extensive googling of my symptoms but haven't found anything that sounds like my issue. i have watched to make sure my temps don't get too high, made sure all components are free of dust. I have not been experiencing any graphics artifacts prior to a BSOD. For some games, the display driver will crash, and relaunching that game will trigger a BSOD. Many of my BSODs are not creating minidumps. i have done a clean uninstall/reinstall of my display drivers twice, but that has not resolved the issue. please help! i will try to quickly provide any additional info you may need.

this file is a zip created by DM Log Collector, and contains minidumps, dxdiag, and other potentially useful files.

I looked at the most current bugcheck, it was a watchdog timer going off.
This happens when some hardware does not respond within the required timeout.


- your system BIOS is out of date, you might want to update to get various fixes.
most current version 2013-09-26 your version was from 2012.

you have a overclocking driver installed:
C:\Program Files\AMD\ATI.ACE\Fuel\amd64\AODDriver2.sys Tue Feb 11 03:06:52 2014
(this is the most likely cause of this bugcheck)

you might want to remove net limiter (unless you really want this old driver)
C:\Program Files\NetLimiter 3\nltdi.sys Sun Feb 13 14:07:35 2011

your xbox driver is old and has known bugs that mess up USB ports. You should remove it and upgrade to the current version...

Looks like your system is having some sleep issues, I would think that updating the BIOS could help this. Also install the 2 new drivers for your machine
https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/support/990FXA-GD80.html#down-driver&Win8 64

-the audio driver and the ethernet driver (the ethernet driver could fix problems with virus scanners)
the updated audio driver will prevent certain conflicts with the high definition audio support in your video card.
(people normally notice a system hang and sound coming out of the speakers when there is a conflict)

another common cause for this bugcheck would be a usb driver failing to install.
but I can not debug this with a minidump you would have to provide a kernel memory dump.
I do see that it was your last processor that hung rather than your GPU. it could be the overclocking driver or plug and play attempting to load a USB driver and hanging.

Thanks for the response! I will make the changes you have recommended and attempt to recreate the BSOD. If I am unable to do so I will return to this thread and mark the issue as resolved.
