Question Alternating BSOD errors: 0x0000007e and 0x0000010e

[Avc7]

Hello,

I keep getting BSOD since the beginning of last month. I'm not sure when exactly I started seeing BSOD but I think it started after updating the GPU driver.

The weird thing is I keep getting two different BSOD messages and I have taken note of them with the dates:
7/1/2022 - 0x0000007e
7/3/2022 - 0x0000010E
7/16/2922 - 0x0000010e
7/23/2022 - 0x0000010e
7/28/2022 - 0x0000007e
8/9/2022 - 0x0000010e
8/14/2022 - 0x0000007e

I can also share the details from event viewer or share minidump file if needed.

Another weird thing is it never happened during a gameplay. It usually happens when I'm browsing, or chatting in discord, so usually when the PC is not under load.

Specs:
Mobo: ROG Strix B560-G
CPU: i7-11700KF
CPU Cooler: Sychte Fuma 2
GPU: RTX 3060 EVGA XC

What do you think the problem is? Should I delete the GPU driver and reinstall?
I have just run the CCleaner to see if there is a registry issue (assuming it can help if that's the problem).

Thank you for your help!

Use ddu uninstaller to completely remove the gpu driver. Display Driver Uninstaller 18.0.5.4 Download | TechSpot Then reinstall the last gpu driver that worked for your card. See if this clears up your problem.

Thanks! I didn't know there is an app to properly delete a GPU driver. Thanks for sharing. The problem is, I don't know what the last working driver was. Actually, I have never installed a driver before because you know new OS can somehow detect the hardware and install the driver and I didn't bother downloading and installing driver from Nvidia's website before as I don't like unnecessary apps like Nvidia experience. Do you know if there is a way to see the latest working driver or do you think I should just delete the driver and try to auto install the driver through device manager? Currently, I'm on latest driver.

I'm also interested in Optimise Windows 11 for gaming in your signature. What changes you have made for power plan and GPU priorities? Thanks again!

Set your power plan to high performance for gaming, or permanently if you wish. For the game click on system/display/ then right click on the game/app and choose the gpu as its primary display device

You can install Nvidia graphics driver without installing experience. When you first open the app choose drivers only, then you can click on custom and install only the drivers you want like the display driver, Nvidia sound or not, newest PhysX drivers etc. The window's installed drivers are not necessarily the newest or best drivers for your gpu.
