The bugcheck code 0x00000116 typically indicates a video-related issue, often associated with the graphics driver or hardware. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:
- Update Graphics Drivers: Ensure that your graphics drivers are up to date. You can do this by visiting the manufacturer's website (like NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel) and downloading the latest drivers.
- Roll Back Drivers: If the issue started after a recent driver update, consider rolling back to a previous version of the driver.
- Check for Overheating: Ensure that your graphics card is not overheating. Check the cooling system and ensure that the fans are working properly.
- Run Hardware Diagnostics: Use built-in hardware diagnostics tools provided by your PC manufacturer to check for any hardware issues.
- Check Event Viewer: Look for additional error messages in the Event Viewer that might provide more context around the bugcheck. Focus on Event IDs related to system errors.
- Memory Diagnostics: Run the Windows Memory Diagnostics tool to check for memory issues that could be contributing to the problem.
- System Restore: If the problem persists, consider performing a system restore to revert your system to a state before the issue began.
- Check for Malware: Run a full system scan to ensure that malware is not causing the issue.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, you may want to collect a memory dump for further analysis or consult with a professional for more in-depth troubleshooting.
