    EVGA GTX 1070 FTW BSoD crashes due to "nvlddmkm.sys"

    Well, since I was out of ideas and everyone else seemed to be as well I went for the nuclear option and reinstalled Windows. Surprise surprise the USB issue has not gone away at all. Trying to fix these BSoD issues have really proven to be extremely ruinous for my PC, my free time, my mood and...

    EVGA GTX 1070 FTW BSoD crashes due to "nvlddmkm.sys"

    No and that would be an extreme last case scenario.

    EVGA GTX 1070 FTW BSoD crashes due to "nvlddmkm.sys"

    WELL. Everything seems to have gone from bad to way worse. Since resetting the CPU clocks my PC boots up extremely slowly/sluggishly and I am now also getting a constant USB device being connected/disconnected sound. I also get the "USB Device Not Recognised" pop-up but when I click on it I...

    EVGA GTX 1070 FTW BSoD crashes due to "nvlddmkm.sys"

    I'm not sure what you mean. I have no intentions of keeping my CPU at stock clocks for the foreseeable future. Just until I can pinpoint the problem. I've also never had the crashes this entire thread is about while playing video games. They have only happened while browsing/watching videos. So...

    EVGA GTX 1070 FTW BSoD crashes due to "nvlddmkm.sys"

    Did you check the results I posted? That was with the CPU OC in place. I currently have everything reverted to stock settings and I'm about to run the entire battery of tests again.

    EVGA GTX 1070 FTW BSoD crashes due to "nvlddmkm.sys"

    Oh don't get me wrong. I have done that. Frankly I'm still amazed you can update GPU drivers now without having to even reboot or wipe the previous drivers. I just can't seem to find the issue causing these BSoDs I've been having. I thought the last wipe/clean install I did solved the problem...

    EVGA GTX 1070 FTW BSoD crashes due to "nvlddmkm.sys"

    I've already done the complete clean install twice though. First time using Disk Sweeper and the second time using the newer DDU. I ran the Aida64 stability test for a few hours while I was away today and these are the results: http://imgur.com/a/oDm2a Notice any problems or issues here...

    EVGA GTX 1070 FTW BSoD crashes due to "nvlddmkm.sys"

    Since running at stock would not give me a conclusive answer I actually decided to run some stability/stress tests on the CPU to see if it's no longer stable. I figure that is the most effective way to actually know if the CPU or its OC is at fault. Or could there be some other reason I'd need...

    EVGA GTX 1070 FTW BSoD crashes due to "nvlddmkm.sys"

    I think I can now say I have completely ruled out the RAM as a potential cause. First I ran Windows Memory Diagnostic and received 0 errors. Then I ran a full MemTest86 test, you can see the results of it below: So now that I've definitely crossed that off the list of possible problems (and...

    EVGA GTX 1070 FTW BSoD crashes due to "nvlddmkm.sys"

    The only thing that is overclocked is the CPU so I guess I can drop that to stock settings. The only problem is I have no idea what exactly is causing the problem so I'll have no way of knowing if removing the CPU OC is actually helping outside of the long term. I'll run MemTest86 to see if my...

    EVGA GTX 1070 FTW BSoD crashes due to "nvlddmkm.sys"

    UPDATE: Alas, bad news. I thought the problem was fixed but I just had another BSoD. On the bright side, I managed to get the BSoD info this time using Bluescreenview. ================================================== Dump File : 111516-15459-01.dmp Crash Time : 15/11/2016...

    EVGA GTX 1070 FTW BSoD crashes due to "nvlddmkm.sys"

    So I used DDU to once again wipe all the drivers I could find and performed a clean installation. Back up and running again and I hope it will last this time. Fingers crossed.

    EVGA GTX 1070 FTW BSoD crashes due to "nvlddmkm.sys"

    I totally forgot about this. I still had 1.45 on my PC too. Sadly my C:\Windows\MiniDump folder is empty. I think I might have automatically cleaned it out hen shutting down the PC or something. According to Nvidia Inspector I have the Samsung memory. Does that change anything? This tearing...

    EVGA GTX 1070 FTW BSoD crashes due to "nvlddmkm.sys"

    Hello there, Today I had a BSoD out of the blue (heh). The BSoD mentioned "nvlddmkm.sys" (I did not manage to get the entire error code but if the BSoD happens again I'll be sure to write it down.) so I looked it up and found many people having issues dating back to 2009. I then set out to try...

    Should I care about the factory OC when looking for a 1070?

    Nvidia pretty aggressively limits its cards these days. Just get a card with a good cooler/warranty/support. You kind of have to rely on the luck of the draw to get a good overclocker.
