Hello I just recently got a new set of parts for my computer. I've been getting this BSOD from playing certain games (ntoskrnl.exe system_service_ exception).

my specs are:

CPU: AMD FX-9590
MOBO: Asus m5A97 R2.0
GPU: Nvidia 960

I've been trying to figure it out for a couple days now, updating new drivers, performing tests on certain parts, but im not too technically capable so I thought I'd need some help.

I took the last 5? minidumps and zipped them here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gcqix5vdsqbvj9t/miniDUMPS.7z?dl=0

hope this helps!

I can't read those logs but this can - can you download and run http://www.resplendence.com/whocrashed
it will read logs and create a summary of each error
it may point to the actual driver at fault or just point at NTOSKRNL and act like windows is trying to kill itself

Copy/Paste results in here


Someone with the right tools will read those logs eventually but whocrashed lets us have a peek and see if we can fix anything first :)

NTOSKRNL stands for New Technology Operating System Kernel - think the heart of windows, your pc won't do much without it. It has to deal with all driver requests and often gets the blame for bad ones.

I got that and here are 2 of the dumps:

This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in a standard Microsoft module. Your system configuration may be incorrect. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver on your system that cannot be identified at this time.

run a program like Driver Booster and see what drivers it finds, the bottom error normally caused by ouytdated drivers. can also try these:

scan for malware, do a sfc.exe /scannow to look for corrupted OS files,
do a chkdsk to look for file system corruptions. Update the BIOS or reset it to defaults and run memtest86 to check for hardware problems with your memory or BIOS memory timings.

win32kfull.sys = Full/Desktop Win32 Driver
Win32kbase = Base Win32k Kernel Driver

whatever it is, it likes beating up windows services.

i get this sneaking suspicion that its your graphics drivers, updated them recently? There were new Nvidia drivers just a few days ago.

Someone will eventually read this that can read logs and find what I am missing,
