I'm at the end of my tether! Next step is throwing this pc out the bloody window.

I've trawled through hundreds of similar problems, with no solution fixing my problem.
CSGO, and Dota2 are the games im mostly having issues with, single player games nothing at all.

im getting BSOD for the following:
ntoskrnl.exe
nvlddmkm.sys
iaStorA.sys
tcpip.sys
dxgmms2.sys

and as previously mentioned, games just randomly fully exiting.
I have the latest windows updates
I have updated my bios, and all the motherboard drivers
I've memory tested my RAM
I've error checked my SSD's
I've re-installed windows several times.
Replaced motherboard/GFX card/Processor/Power supply

At this point, I just dont know where to turn.
Any help would be really appreciated!!
 
Solution
I would do the bios update, the motherboard driver update maybe remove the ESEADriver2.sys if you did not want it.
not sure what problem is with BstkVMMR0.r0 ( i would look for a update or see if it is failing, it looks like it just might be having problems with sleep/wake cycles, i can not tell with a mini memory dump)
-------
first bugcheck was in the nvidia graphic driver, could be overheating or a bug. Looks like you have a BIOS update
for nvidia cards and the video bios
update you bios to the current version (1.90 dated 2016-05-13) :

it could be something simple like a conflict between the motherboard audio driver and the sound support for the nvidia card...
copy a current copy of a memory dump from c:\windows\minidump directory to a cloud server like microsoft onedrive, share the file for public access and post a link.



 


Hi Csweet4 :) Your BSOD issue can be one of many, however based on your info:

You have multiple driver related issues and need to check the following.

Some explanations of BSOD for the following:

1. ntoskrnl.exe is the kernel (core) of the Windows operating system. In most cases this file is blamed because another file (typically a 3rd party driver) has corrupted the memory space that ntoskrnl.exe considers as it's own. It would then throw up a BSOD.

2. nvlddmkm.sys This error occurs when your computer thinks that your graphics card has stopped responding.

3. iaStorA.sys Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver. Sometime caused by anti virus program.

4. tcpip.sys is a network driver error and usually caused after you’ve installed new hardware or software. Could be a driver problem with a network device.

5. dxgmms2.sys : Driver related issue involving Direct X. run DXDIAG.

Check all drivers in Device Manager for any yellow triangles and make sure your MS updates are complete.

Please report back.

(could be fixed with a motherboard audio driver update and then go into bios and reset it to defaults so it re scans the hardware)


you might want to see if there is a update to your BstkVMMR0.r0
driver. Looks like it is having some type of problem.

- you have a driver being loaded out of a hidden local temp location.

it usually means you don't know it is installed.
look here for instructions to uninstall it: https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/1r2uca/how_to_uninstall_esea_client_remove_kernal_driver/

looks like most of your motherboard drivers are out of date you should install these:
