Recently had a BSOD occur, a one off thing, but what was curious to me was what caused it. According to the screen itself (during the dump) it was caused by a 'Video Scheduler Error." I opened up the .dmp file and what I see is that driver watchdog.sys+3e1d is what caused it.

Filenames that were red:
cfosspeed6.sys (LAN boost)
dxgmms3.sys (DX graphics)
ks.sys
ndis.sys (network driver)
watchdog.sys (watchdog?)

What do these things do with each other that caused the BSOD? If it's any matter, I was running AI Suite 3 and used the thermal tuning tool and got as far as the CPU cooler. My cpu temps skyrocketed to 75 before my screens turned into blocky greens and bright colors before the BSOD occured. When the tool was running,

Sidenote: AI Suite 3 temp measurements seem slightly off as during idle they usually stay at 30-31 but sometimes drops to 28 or spike to 40.

generally it is best to put the actual memory dump file from c:\windows\minidump directory on to a server like microsoft onedrive, share the file for public access and post a link.

in general, if you get a bugcheck in ndis.sys you will want to update the network drivers.
or in this case I would remove cfosspeed6.sys.

the video scheduler error can have many causes, even a bad network driver can cause it if you have a nvidia card.
it can also be caused by a conflict between the motherboard sound driver and the GPU sound support.

a whatchdog timeout error means that some hardware (most often a GPU or USB device) did not respond within a timeout period.

if you are getting video artifacts it generally indicates that your GPU is...

if you are getting video artifacts it generally indicates that your GPU is overheating. you would make sure to remove any overclocking drivers, confirm your fans are working as expected. overclocked video cards or overheated cards can cause any of these errors
