The amount of things I have done and still it crashes within 15 mins while verifier.exe is running...
Not to mention the horrific mouse lag while the verifier does it nefarious work.
I reinstalled the OS, a total of 3 times now, clean bootable USB installs, NTFS drive / UEFI Bios.
I erased the contents of OneDrive.
I bought new RAM and PSU. The RAM was bought and installed and used for about 2 weeks before the crashes started.
I ran a 4-pass memtest86 check, the bootable one, on the new RAM, no errors.
I used DDU to uninstall and reinstall 3x different nvidia drivers, 456 / 457 and 460.
I updated all the drivers, I will keep the Nvidia's 456 because people seem to hate the recent 460.
I ran multiple different stress tests on the GPU and CPU with AIDA64, OCCT, Furmark, Uningine benchmark, checking the VRAM as well, no errors.
I rolled back the BIOS to a version before.
I disabled AMD's Cool'n'Quiet.
I tried uninstalling the new 20H2 windows update, no change.
I uninstalled the rzdev__0084.sys, which the verifier.exe was also unhappy about, it's one of the Razer Synapse drivers for my Deathadder V2, thankfully it works without it. Should also be mentioned the verifier.exe once crashed because of a Malwarebytes driver, that was also uninstalled.
I unplugged all the peripherals for the duration of tests.
I turned off Fast Start-up, but it was always turned off anyway, it messed with my audiocard.
There is probably other things I have tried but had forgotten about by this point.
Now the story: my pc began crashing and hanging, hanging randomly, rebooting with the nvlddmkm.sys every time the verifier.exe was used or in some time while playing games or even just watching a video on YT. The permanent hangs were solved by removing the rzdev__0084.sys, the nvlddmkm.sys still causes crashes. There were also some Kernel related BSODS. Out of ideas by this point. I took the entire PC to a tech and the only thing he said was the power connectors to the SSD looked warped by time and heat, so I bought and installed a new one. He said all the error descriptions with nvlddmkm.sys like NONPAGED AREA or MISSING THREAD or whatever else it spat out are firmware issues. Issues I never had before. I owned this Razer DA2 for over a month now, Synapse did not cause my entire PC to hang before.
The GPU passed pretty much all tests I threw at it with flying colours.
My pc is Ryzen 5 1600 / R7 Radeon memory 2666mhz 8x2 / MSi B350 VDH-PRO MB / Gigabyte GTX 1060 6gb / Be quiet! System Power 9 - 600w.
I had a 550w PSU before that so its definitely not a wattage issue.
Is this normal for verifier to cause 1. your mouse to jitter every 3-4 secs for about a second and 2. eventually crash Nvidia's drivers while during the actual stress tests it behaves as new?
Please help.
