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

Any help or insight on this issue would be greatly appreciated, as this issue now causes great delays in my client's workflow.

    Reading your post again, noting your system specs, I see that you're using an MSI board.  I know initially Asus x99 motherboard users were experiencing this crash and the workaround seems to work for these boards.  I wonder if your issue is perhaps due to other issues.  My only advice would be to contact Nvidia support directly.  They're hit and miss with tech support quality but generally pretty good.

    J'ai déjà essayé, en validant chaque option, de redémarrer la machine ... le problème est toujours présent

    This workaround...

    I received feedback and a temporary workaround from Nvidia tech support (see below).  I have followed these instructions and so far haven't experienced another crash.  It would be great if others could report back with their findings / experience.  Note that this will allow users to update to the latest drivers.

    This is a known issue that our development team is actively investigating. Our development team have root-caused the issue and will be implementing a solution in future driver update. At this point I don't know which driver release will have this fix. Until we can get this resolved in a driver update there is a workaround to this problem with our current drivers. Development indicated that enabling Message-Signaled Interrupts (MSI) does resolve the problem. Consider the steps below to enable MSI after installing the latest graphics drivers and that should help with the issue. You'll need to enable MSI for each GPU.

    1. Download the MSI Utility v2.0 zip file here:https://github.com/CHEF-KOCH/MSI-utility/releases

    2. Open the zip file and then extract "MSI_util_v2.exe" to your local system.

    3. Right-click the "MSI_util_v2.exe" and Run as administrator.

    4. Enable MSI for each GPU listed.

    5. Restart the system.

    Until we can get the fix into a driver update you'll need to apply this workaround with each new driver update. We are working to get this fix into our drivers as soon as we can. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.

    Best regards,
