PC Freeze -> Reboot, BSOD dxkrnl.sys
Hi all I'm having an issue which causes my PC to freeze and reboot. I can play any game I own except 2. NFS Rivals (PC Freeze after 5-10 minutes of play) BF4 (PC Freeze not very common, maybe...
Forum Discussion
I'm starting to fear that it may be hardware/heat related. For that the testing steps are to A: swap in a similar card and see if the same thing happens.
B:The less impractical step of monitoring temperatures.
Off the top of my head, a step that you have probably tried, and probably won't work, but it's worth checking anyway, is to run either game with a clean boot, just in case.
Also a quick question, could this also be caused by the PSU? I own a 860W Corsair one. should be enough, but maybe the graphic card needs some POWER PEAKS. Any way to get more voltage to the Graphic card?
- I'm not too familiar with PSUs myself, and any failures I've seen have been in straight-up unambiguously dead machines, but it sounds plausible enough. I assume you can make the tweaks you mention, but tbh I wouldn't be able to give meangful steps, sorry.
Chuckle, tyvm for following me! i really appreciate it, i hope you will keep following. For now i call it a day. I'll proceed looking to it tomorow.
i found some things that may fix it.
EVGA says to disable the NVIDIA Audio thingy when you have a sound card, it can cause pc freezing and crashing.
Also found a way to change the power the GPU gets from option "Adaptive" to "Maximum"
Gonna try these and leave feedback later.
Excellent, please post if you make any progress.
