GPU Underperforming and BSOD Errors e.g. ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY (fc)

Question

So I've been having mild issues with my PC for quite some time, probably years, I occasionally get massive frame drops in certain games and see massive GPU usage spikes by whatever I'm using, or dwm, particularly if PC is idling. Seemed like a GPU fault but have tested the GPU in another PC and another GPU in mine and the issue stays on my PC only. I tried so many things to fix it including of course a complete DDU uninstall and reinstall of new drivers.

Never been able to fix it, it's fairly minor, and I just don't game the same. Fast forward to now and I've since updated Windows to Win 11 (a while ago) and done some updates recently, updated my GPU driver again and updated the Intel Ethernet driver.

I have typically had the occasional unprompted reboot or BSOD for quite some time too, typically no more than maybe one every 2 weeks but currently they seem to be more frequent and I would like to resolve them, and hope this may fix the issues.

Anywho the title is the first line of the bug check analysis of the most recent DMP file. I don't understand these thoroughly so could do with some help of understanding it and also what I should do with this information to resolve the problem.

PC is one I build myself back near the end of 2019. Had no issues for quite some time, at least 1 year before I saw anything related to this

PC Spec:

ASRock X570 Taichi

AMD Ryzen 7 3700X

Gigabyte Aurus 2080 Super

32GB (Upgraded from 16GB) 3600 mhz G Skill trident Z + Royal (2x8gb ea)
ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 1TB M.2

Seagate Barracuda 2GB HDD

Corsair H100i AIO iirc

Corsair K70 Keyboard iirc

Corsair Virtuoso Headset

Corsair Commander pro with 3 additional LL120 fans

(Mentioned Corsair peripherals as I believe iCue software can cause issues but have tried a complete uninstall before which made no difference)

Many thanks to anyone who can assist me with this latest problem but also potentially the wider issue.

Answer 1

Hi Th3

It can be very hard to trace a problem like that with the GPU, it could be another component or a corrupt driver.

Answer 2

Thank you both for your replies.

Particularly Dave as I did update my Intel drivers using the Intel reccommendation recently so I expect this should resolve these current BSODs as they do seem to be new.

The other problem I am not convinced is a hardware issue. Having tested with another GPU, I still see the problem on my system. I have previously updated the motherboard BIOS and installed the drivers from the motherboard manufacterer and set bios to defaults. Still seems to persist.

Answer 3

Hi Th3

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Your minidump files indicate it is the Intel WiFi card device driver that is causing the crashes.

Go to the support page for your PC on the manufacturers website, then from there, download and install the version of Intel WiFi (WLAN) device drivers they recommend.

With regards to the GPU, try installing a couple of older versions of the drive, they are more stable than the latest version, if that does not solve the performance on the GPU, it may be best to get the graphics card tested at a repair shop.

Answer 4

A self-build? update both bios and ALL drivers from the mobo maker, and drivers from that vid card maker

Set bios to defaults

Then see how you go
