bugcheck 116 windows 10

[b20feb]

I have just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Prior to this I had no issues, but since upgrading and having to update my nVidia driver I get several bugchecks per day (bugcheck 116).

053116-21593-01.dmp 31/05/2016 14:09:42 0x00000116 ntoskrnl.exe+14f4d0 dxgkrnl.sys+1411dc ffffe000`0e5611a0 fffff800`fee37d80 00000000`00000000 00000000`0000000d dxgkrnl.sys x64

I am sure it is not a hardware problem because it was fine on windows 7 and started the same day I upgraded.

I have made sure the graphics card is properly seated (though there was no reason it would not be) and the installed nVidia driver is the latest one (368.22 - 23 May 2016).

The card is not overheating (runs cool at around 28C)

My Corsair RM850i PSU is more than up top the job and is stable (12.1v, 5.0v and 3.3v - temperature 41C)


Can anyone help me resolve this please.

well, its a dx error and its likely to be the Nvdia driver asking windows to do something wrong. NTOSKRNL is New Technology Operating System Kernel, it gets requests from drivers all day long and sometime the requests can be wrong.

have you tried this: http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-2767677/clean-graphics-driver-install-windows.html

I ran the Guru3D Display Driver Uninstaller and manually reinstalled the latest nVidia driver. Unfortunately it did not resolve the issue.

I also ran sfc /scannow. It found and fixed a couple of errors that did not seem to have anything to do with graphics. (unfortunately I didn't make a note of the errors because I assumed it would have logged them somewhere.
