BSOD BCCode 116 only in BFH

ASUS's website looks like they have a BIOS/Firmware update for the 780ti DCII.  It changes fan profiles but maybe it'll help.  Be careful.

---

Mobo also has a lot of firmwares available.  1402 appears to be latest

---

Temps are great I'm assuming before it happens?

---

Check BIOS of the computer.. go over the settings again.  Make sure the IGP is disabled or some silly setting like that.

--

Try defaulting the computer's BIOS and only change the settings needed.

--

Try running a different GPU stress test like FurMark or OCCT GPU test.

--

Wouldn't by chance have a different card laying around you could test with?

--

Run a few passes of Memtest86 maybe.

Perhaps what would be faster is remove one stick, test, swap, test.

**edit**  You've tried both older and newer drivers correct?  Not just testing the same version over and over?

Thank you very much for your response, I will address each of your statements.

I didn't realize there was any update for my GPU, so I will check that out

I do have the 1402 BIOS update

Yes temps are just fine. They tend to stay around 50-60 Celcius

I'm not very handy with BIOS settings, so what is IGP?

I have/have had the BIOS on default

I will try different benchmarks

I do have different cards to try, but I let a friend borrow them but I will have them soon

I have never ran memtest86, but I will do so

Also, I found one other person with the same issue as me (he has 2 GTX 780 Ti cards) and I had contacted him about the problem and he said that he was sure it is either a problem with the game or nvidia. I also read an old forum post about a guy who was getting these BSOD's in a past battlefield and after an update they went away. I'm not 100% positive, but I think it might be a problem with the game. I am also launching battlelog from FireFox instead of Chrome to see if that makes a difference (I havent played long enough to tell)

Again, thank you for the response

Edit: I have tried the last driver version but I still noticed the BSOD, but I will try it again

Extra Edit: I noticed that Nvidia recently released this http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3647 so I will try installing it to see if it helps

Extra Extra Edit: After 1 game I got a BSOD with the new driver

IGP is the Intel HD2500 built onto your CPU.

I think I'm pretty much tapped out on other things to suggest.  Interested to hear how it goes with your friend's GPU.

* By faster memtest.. i meant not even running it.  I meant take out a stick test the game, swap test the game.  Sorry I wasn't more clear.  It would be twice as slow doing that with memtest86.

About testing the ram, do you mean test one stick at a time? 

Right yes.

Either:  Run memtest86+ as is for several passes (it'll take awhile)

or

Pull 1 stick.  Test the game

Reverse sticks:  Test the game

The second way I think would be a heck of a lot quicker than memtest.  It can sometimes take hours for errors to show.

Hello, I just ran the FurMark Torture Test for 30 minutes 1920 x 1080 with 8MSAA and ran into no problems. My maximum temp was 70 degrees Celsius (highest temp I've ever gotten) and an avg. FPS of 34. I will edit this post with how I do in different benchmarks as I do them.

Unigine Valley: Max setting ran just fine several times consecutively with a max temp of 60 degrees Celsius 

FurMark: Ran 1920 x 1080 with 8xMSAA max temp of 70 degrees Celsius 

OCCT: I ran OCCT just fine for 30 minutes with 7 shader complexity and a resolution of 1920 x 1080. I got a max of 52 degrees Celsius and I didn't go below 60 FPS. I almost think I missed some more intense graphic settings

Unigine Heaven: I maxed out all the setting I could find (with the exception of my 1920 x 1080 resolution) and I even turned the tessellation sliders all the way to the right (I dont even know if I should do that, but I could a big drop in performance so why not stress my GPU even more?) and the FPS was pretty horrendous, staying mostly in the 20's, and my max temp was 70 degrees Celsius. I had no problems whatsoever. 

I wont do any more benchmark testing because I feel very confident that my BSOD is not a result of a faulty GPU, but I will move on to testing each of my 4gb RAM sticks just to try and see if they may be to blame. If the RAM is not faulty, I will move on to my old GTX 660 OC SLI configuration to see of I still get BSOD's. Cheers for now everyone 

Edit: is it possible my weak CPU is causing the crashes? I'm planning an upgrade soon

It's remotely possible the CPU is causing it.. but not because it's "weak"..

Hello, sorry I haven't made a post on here lately, I have been rather busy. I should have some time soon to test my RAM although I don't think it will yield results. Also, how could the CPU crash the game and is there a way to test it? thank you for all of your help

It likely isn't.. but if you want me take a wild guess on why it could possible be the CPU... A failure in the ALU, only happens when a certain instruction is called.  I don't see the point in taking wild guesses honestly, narrowing it down by swapping in/out components seems more fruitful.

I think I've only ever warrantied one CPU (IGP failure)... but dozens of mobos in the last few years.  We typically don't have discrete GPUs in our setting.

Order of things I think it would be given the error code:

1) GPU GPU GPU, very strongly GPU

2) PSU  (when I seen the name Rosewill, you better believe it was the first thing I researched.. it has overall high marks though)

3) Motherboard / RAM

4) CPU I guess

Okay thank you. I was thinking the GPU as well, but the benchmarks don't lie. I'm positive that my GPU isn't dying, and I personally think the next likely candidate is the PSU or a problem with the game/nvidia if anything. I believe I read somewhere that the PSU is often the first thing to fail in a PC, so it may well be what is causing this. Shame I dont have an extra PSU lying around. I also noticed that Nvidia released some new drivers, so I will try those as always, even thought they are for GTA V. Thank you again for your help.

EDIT: I suppose the motherboard could also have faulty PCI slots or something
