Multiple BSOD Failures - Trying to determine exact cause

Hello,

Looking for some assistance in determining the cause of multiple BSOD failures I have been having with my machine over the past ~3 months. I have gone through multiple of the common trouble shooting steps (not super tech savy but enough to research and try some things on my own) with limited to no success. I fear it is a component failure, just trying to have some help determining that so that I can fix / replace that component and get a fully operational computer.

To start, I have created a Onedrive folder shared here that includes the last 5 dmp files as well as my system information. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AmfZ4NmAqWvNtjKrEkvlLdHAFvCs?e=Ao1i4Q

I have reinstalled Windows 10 twice in the past 3 months, most recently about 5 days ago, in hopes that it could resolve the issue (it did not). As of posting this, Windows and my drivers are all up to date. I do not run any third party anti-malware software/apps. My computer did come overclocked, however once I started to have these issues I reset that to default and it is no longer overclocked. Just prior to posting this, I ran sfc/scannow and DISM with no errors generated and no issues found, both ran fine without issue. I am able to boot in normal mode and operate fine after each BSOD.

BSODs encountered: (most recent) (I use WinDbg to review the dmp files)

  • SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (3b)
  • WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR (124)
  • DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (d1)

C:\WINDOWS\system32>sfc/scannow

Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.

Beginning verification phase of system scan.

Verification 100% complete.

Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool

Version: 10.0.19041.844

Image Version: 10.0.19043.1348

[==========================100.0%==========================] No component store corruption detected.

The operation completed successfully.

My frustration with this is that I cannot replicate these BSODs. I had one just prior to posting this where my computer was basically idle, running background processes but no programs or games actively running. I have had other BSODs while running video games (most commonly a game called Escape from Tarkov) but always in different phases of the game, sometimes right after starting it, others while having been playing for sometime. I tried to reach out to the manufacturer but was unable to get assistance in correcting this.

I really appreciate any help, trouble testing steps and diagnosis anyone can provide that will help me to determine the root cause and find a solution, even if it is replacing a component. If there is any information I did not include that is needed, please let me know and thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi Doc6913

    Your minidump files indicate a driver named CY3014. X64. SYS is causing the crashes.

    That seems to be a device drivers associated to an Elgato Game Capture HD60 S device.

    Try reinstalling the drivers and software fro that device.

    Dave,

    No problem. I was able to run driver verifier as instructed and got 3 DMP files. Computer did BSOD on start running that program. The 3 DMP files can be found uploaded to onedrive here:

    Thanks again for the help with this.

    Hi Doc6913

    Sorry, I was offline, to try to force Windows 10 show any faulting drivers, the best option would be to turn on Driver Verifier, let your PC crash 3 times, then you must turn off Driver Verifier, and finally, upload any newly created minidump files

    Dave,

    First, thanks again for the help.

    1. As stated above, I have had this turned off for about 3 months, still encountering the issues. I jumped back into the BIOS to ensure it was off, and also ensured XMP was off as well.
    2. I ran the full 4 pass scan of all tests in MemTest86. It resulted in 0 errors, all tests passed with no errors detected.

    H Doc6913

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Your minidump files just indicate memory (RAM) corruption and the Intelppm driver associated to your processor.

    1

    Boot into BIOS, if your CPU is overclocked, turn that off, if there is an XMP profile set on your RAM, turn that off, set it to default

    2

    Wait to see if your system stabilizes, if not, the best option is to download the widely available free utility MemTest86, then run a full 4 pass scan with that to test your RAM for physical errors
