Daily Blue Sceen of Death and lockups

[secretsofwater87]

I've been having major issues lately with BSODs. I've done all the troubleshooting steps I could think of which were

- Virus Scan
- Scan Hard Drives
-Reinstall NVIDIA drivers
-Run Memtest

What happens is I could be playing a game on windowed mode and when I alt tab out of it and watch a youtube/netflix/hulu video it'd lead to the computer locking up and looping whatever sound is playing. I can only remember one instance where it happened without a game running in the background.

I'm running an
Asus 170-A MOBO
EVGA 1070 SC GPU
i5 6600k with a very tiny overclock.
All these devices have been running fine until last week. No changes have been made to my system whatsoever. This includes any software installations.
The codes I get for the BSODs are always different too. A couple of them are
SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION cause: ntoskrnl.exe
KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED cause: Wdf01000.sys
REFERENCE_BY_POINTER cause: ntoskrnl.exe

There are others but they have no string. Those were probably the times I had to hard reset the PC.

I'm hoping it isn't my GPU but the last thing I remember is I tried removing it from the mobo and forgot to unlock it so I tugged at it a bit. No bend, cracking or anything happened because I know better then to put too much force. I can't imagine that'd cause the issues.

So what else should I try aside from reformatting the rig?

Upload the small dmp files to onedrive. Then post the link

Looks like nvcontainer.exe is crashing the video drivers.

Uninstall them then use DDU uninstaller in safe mode to remove the rest of it

So I should uninstall my NVIDIA Drivers, use DDU uninstaller in safe mode, then I should be able to reinstall them and the issue should hopefully be gone?

Well hopefully, it's gone. It maybe the version you're installing. The latest isnt always the greatest

Here I just let windows 10 install them. So far so good. Nothing has crashed YET.

Altho if you dont need all the crap, just do a custom install - the drivers and HDMI audio, if you're using HDMI

I usually untick the rest. I dont need them or use them

Thank you for the help. I will give all that a try.
