Question BSOD ntoskrnl.exe everyday

[k.laju]

At the end of each day at around 11:00 PM onwards, I get a BSOD (black screen) then my PC auto restarts. It usually happens after using my PC for the whole day followed by some time after closing my last played game and browse chrome. There are rare occurrence that it happens during the day.

I have tried full 4 pass of Memtest86 many times without any error with single stick and both sticks of ram. Reinstalled Nvidia Drivers using DDU. Reinstalled Chrome. Did full scans with malwarebytes and win defender offline scan, and still nothing. Turned off most of startup items. I've downloaded BlueScreenView to read the minidumps and it always shows ntoskrnl.exe. I have no idea what is causing this bsod.

My latest minidump : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1exVnYFk9PCELoL6P3vTMgop2N7Niky_h

whocrashed shows you what crashed, it doesn't explain why. It very rarely shows an actual driver name and 90% of time blames ntoskrnl. As that is the windows kernel. it makes sense since it sits between software and hardware. It never crashes by itself, its almost always pushed.

I have sent a link to a friend who will convert dumps, as I can't myself. I have gotten pretty good at reading his conversions though. He will reply sometime in the next few hours but I won't until about now tomorrow.

What are specs of PC?

Hi, I ran the dump file through the debugger and got the following information: https://pste.eu/p/kxjp.html

File information:	103019-11812-01.dmp (Oct 29 2019 - 15:49:22)
Bugcheck:	IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (A)
Probably caused by:	memory_corruption (Process: System)
Uptime:	1 Day(s), 23 Hour(s), 31 Min(s), and 18 Sec(s)

Comment: The overclocking driver "NTIOLib_X64.sys" was found on your system. (MSI Afterburner or other MSI software)

BIOS info was not included in the dump file. This can sometimes mean an outdated BIOS is being used.

This information can be used by others to help you. I can't help you with this. Someone else will post with more information. Please wait for additional answers. Good luck.

hyperx Predator 3200Mhz is available as Single module or kit of two.

Did you buy two HyperX HX432C16PB3/8 or kit of two HyperX HX432C16PB3K2/16?

Could that mean Msi Afterburner is causing the issue ? I've never overclocked my Gpu, I only used that to monitor my hardware while gaming. I also installed Hwinfo64 for Cpu monitoring.

Gardenmans script highlights that file if it finds it, it doesn't necessarily mean it is cause. Do you have MSI Live Update 6 installed as it also includes the same drivers.

are you using throttlestop?

We aren't sure if these drivers work on non Asus motherboards

Apr 09 2019	AsIO2.sys	Asus Input Output driver
Apr 22 2019	GLCKIO2.sys	ASUS RGB driver

I'm not so sure about that, in Dragon Center it says my live update is version 1.0.0.57
Earlier today, I've updated my Amd chipset Drivers (19.10.28) and MB Bios (A.50)

are you using throttlestop?

No, never heard of that before.

Apr 09 2019	AsIO2.sys	Asus Input Output driver
Apr 22 2019	GLCKIO2.sys	ASUS RGB driver

I'm not sure why those are even installed. The only Asus software I've installed is Asus Aura software

 

[Colif]

Well, Aura is RGB, so that explains one of them and the other is an IO driver that is used to change settings on the GPU. They might be okay, we just aren't sure.

you have this driver installed but as you can tell from description, it gets around

Date	Driver	Description
May 01 2013	WinRing0x64.sys	Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool or BatteryCare by OpenLibSys.org or EVGA Precision X https://www.evga.com/ or Throttlestop (Properties say: OpenLibSys.org)

so its unclear what it is part of. You have a Ryzen so that crosses its 1st use off.

I'm not so sure about that, in Dragon Center it says my live update is version 1.0.0.57

as per this page its part of dragon centre as well - http://blog.rewolf.pl/blog/?p=1630

it appears that driver does a similar thing to Asio2.sys as they both IO drivers.

had anymore BSOD? if/when you do, give us next dumps

I think I've installed something from EVGA before, but uninstalled it. I'm not sure why it is still here.

What does it mean ?

Alright will do.

 

[Colif]

IO Drivers are used by hardware makers to make changes to their hardware, so ASio.sys, for instance, can be found in ASus GPU Tweak 2 that is for their GPU Cards. It can also be found in motherboard utilities. IO Drivers are how the software changes settings such as fan speeds.

wait and see if you get any more errors. If you do, you can use a program called autoruns to stop that WinRing0x64.sys - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns - and see if that makes any difference.

Ok this is kinda awkward, I've been experiencing Bsod almost everyday for the past two months. I've been keeping everything's software updated to the latest version. For some reason after the latest windows update, the bsod never occurred again. It has been 9 days since the last Bsod.

 

[Colif]

I am not going to complain if a windows update fixes your problems

I am not one to force pc to crash if it doesn't want to

 

[k.laju]

Its just weird all of previous updates didn't do anything to fix it

 

[Colif]

We shouldn't talk about it as in my years of solving problems on here, talking about the lack of BSOD is just begging for them to return... so if they do, I am sorry
