BSoD crashes while gaming dxgmm1.sys

[macfett]

Since about 22 Dec 2016 I have been having crashes with my new (~6 month old) computer.

It has been happening more and more frequently, to the point that I can not play any games. The crashes seem to have only generated the same BSoD message twice. I've been trying to get pictures of them to try and find a solution.

I have run memtest86 4 passes 0 errors, I've done hard drive checks everything passed. I did install an older video driver today thinking it may have been that causing the problem as the crashes started roughly a week after I updated to the newest.

After the crashes started I did a through cleaning of all my fans and vents as I live in New Mexico and everything is always very dusty here. But it was far less dusty than many other computers I've used with no problem. But after the cleaning things seemed to improve until yesterday when the crashes (BSoD while playing Civ VI and game crashing while playing Wow64) started again. Tonight I logged into WoW real quick to let my guild know I am having computer trouble I got a BSoD (first from WoW that I recall).

Attaching my dm_log_collector zip. If there is any more info I need to provide I will be happy to do so.

Not sure if this helps or not, but I uploaded all of the "screen shots" I have of my BSoDs. BSoDs - Album on Imgur

Is drivereasy used for installing drivers?
If so, revert back the installations. Easiest to do this would be by using a restore point or a backup from the system (like Macrium Reflect).


Uninstall everything of Nvidia using Display Driver Uninstaller and install new drivers from Nvidia. Be sure the clean install box is checked and only install the Graphics driver and the PhysX driver, you can use this tutorial for the installation part NVIDIA Drivers - Avoid Problems - Windows 7 Help Forums

   Note

If newer drivers don't help, try using older drivers

It looks like the Nvidia driver was trying to write to an execute/read-protected memory address.

Driver Easy is a driver updater. I have been just using it to help find newer drivers hoping to find the problem, but it ended up causing some problems once a component was updated subcomponents wouldn't work (like the front USB ports stopped working) so I did a system restore to before I installed it.

Display driver cleaned and reinstalled. Spooling up Civ VI to see how it runs.

[edit]I ended up playing Civ VI into the wee hours of the morning. Running World of Warcraft now, things are looking good.[/edit]

Good to hear, watch how it goes for a few days and let me know how it goes

I've had 3 crashes today, but I think the fans on my 970 stopped working. I have my only 620 in right now. Tomorrow I'm going to put the 970 back into the system now that I've downloaded ASUS' GPU Tweak program and see if I can force them to run. If not, hopefully I can get new fans for it.

[edit]Downloaded GPU Tweak II from Asus and was able to manually get the fans to run. I changed the temp at which they run, things are going good again... For now.[/edit]

Crashes have started again. I had just updated the driver (did the full driver wipe with Display Driver Uninstaller and then installed the new one only installing the PhysX and Display driver.

(can not get my minidump.zip to upload here so I stuck them in my box account, if someone would rather I shared it a different way I'll happily do so) https://app.box.com/s/ax7kvfaumqxhuosltzp04bivaam3lbjt

[edit]Thinking this may be a admin/standard user problem again. Been running as admin again for a couple days without incident.
