Recently I have built a 3D rendering station for a client of mine. The machine runs, but crashes about once or twice a day with a BSOD (watchdog violation 1x133. Blue Screen View mentions either nvlddmkm.sys or ntoskrnl.exe as culprit. Things I have tried so far: Clean install Windows 10 Clean install Windows 7 DDU removal of graphics drivers latest nVidia drivers older nVidia drivers extensive RAM testing Specs: Asus X99-WS 10G E Intel 6850K 7x Zotac 1080ti Blower Edition (transformed to water cooling) 64GB RAM Samsung 960 Pro 512GB (system drive) 3x WD Red in RAID 0 (data drive) 2x Cooler Master V1200 PSU Custom EK watercooling loop Obsidian 900D Speccy Snapshot: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/qchWoHD0m7mueWTEVccxFlD Any help or insight on this issue would be greatly appreciated, as this issue now causes great delays in my client's workflow.

You're welcome for the help. The memory.dmp seems to indicate the issue is solely with the NVIDIA graphics driver. From here : "faulty driver code that under certain conditions, does not complete its work within the allotted time frame" The "certain conditions" may be the Operating System (Fall Creators Update), motherboard, etc. Can you provide the following information which may help determine any issue(s): Windows Key + R > type eventvwr in the "Open" box > OK > expand "Custom Views" and then right-click "Administrative Events" > select "Save all events in Custom View As" and save as an .evtx file Then make the resulting .evtx file available via Google Drive.

Sure, here is MEMORY.DMP in 7z-format: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WS-NMzoTjoFlB9tdeba4Gs9zD1PGJvLV/view?usp=sharing Thanks again.

The minidump files do indicate the nvlddmkm.sys is at issue. Can you provide the following file which has more information on the crash: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP The memory.dmp file will be quite large, you could zip and compress the memory.dmp file with a third party application such as 7-Zip.

Sure, here are two mini dump files on Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1NeeeJwRcU-hUI1VuPNxicZqLjwedkj0y https://drive.google.com/open?id=1yM8npEh43vpeIjBg2M9oOzgMXF70sqDC

Thank you for the reply and the info. Unfortunately, Device Manager does not list 'IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers'. It does list 'Disk Drives' and 'Storage Controllers'. None of the items listed uses 'iastor.sys'. However, the item 'Intel(R) Desktop/Workstation/Server Express Chipset SATA RAID Controller' uses 'iastorAV.sys' as driver. When I click 'Update Driver' and browse the list, I do not see anything resembling 'Standard SATA AHCI Controller'.

You're welcome for the help.

The memory.dmp seems to indicate the issue is solely with the NVIDIA graphics driver.

From here:

"faulty driver code that under certain conditions, does not complete its work within the allotted time frame"

The "certain conditions" may be the Operating System (Fall Creators Update), motherboard, etc.

Can you provide the following information which may help determine any issue(s):

Windows Key + R > type eventvwr in the "Open" box > OK > expand "Custom Views" and then right-click "Administrative Events" > select "Save all events in Custom View As" and save as an .evtx file

Then make the resulting .evtx file available via Google Drive.

Can you provide the following file which has more information on the crash:

C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP

The memory.dmp file will be quite large, you could zip and compress the memory.dmp file with a third party application such as 7-Zip.
