Hello everyone. I wanted to share possibly the last update. Next week we will be releasing a new Game Ready Driver which will include a fix for this issue. As I stated in the past, this was resolved by reproducing a crash on a different Dell notebook that produced a crash dump file with the same signature as that shared by users to me in this thread and coming up with a fix for that. So while we were not able to 100% confirm the fix since we do not have a Dell XPS 9560 in our labs, I would recommend users give the next driver update a try and then share your feedback. Thank you all for your help and your patience.
Continued BSOD video dxgkrnl fatal error Windows 10 dell XPS laptop
Final Edit: I'm updating this thread for future users. The problem is solved! Nvidia have released a new driver that fixes the issue. It's been in use for over 10 days as of time of writing and all reports are that the XPS 15 9560 is stable again.
Thank you to everyone who came hear and contributed their voice into the mix, and thank you Nvidia Manuel for hearing us and providing updates. I'll leave the workarounds up and in the post just in case the problem arises again in the future.
Original post below:
My laptop (Dell xps 15 9560 windows 10 21H2) has been repeatedly BSODing. It was doing this about 3-4 weeks ago. I made a post here, spoke to someone and implemented their fix and thought I was done as everything returned to normal. Yet the problem persists as of the most recent windows update.
Things I have done:
Completely uninstalled and reinstalled all graphics drivers from manufacturers with a clean install using DDU in safe mode
Rolled back the most recent windows update
Installed all the updates from Dell support
Attempted to repair files with the sfc /scannow command
Reinstalled DirectX
Cried a little bit
As of about an hour ago I'm still having the same blue screen fatal error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edit 1: Thought it best to post this here so it's on every page for new comers. Members of this thread with 9560s suffering constant BSODs have found that disabling the GTX1050 graphics card in the device manager results in system stability. Yes, this is not an acceptable long term solution, we didn't buy these machines to have them hamstrung like this. But equally this does completely fix the BSOD issue. This is a temporary band-aid fix until a real solution presents itself.
Band Aid Method:
- Press windows key + x
- Select device manager from list
- Navigate to Display Adapters and double click
- Locate NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 from the drop down options
- Right click on the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 and select Disable device
- Bingo. You did it.
Your 9560 is now stable for office use, internet browsing, and lite graphic design work. I've been using Illustrator with a very minor performance hit.
One user has noted that you can fire up your system with the GTX1050 disabled, reenable it, and perform graphics heavy tasks with it as long as you disable the GTX1050 before the machine goes into sleep mode or restarts, etc, then everything remains stable. It's a pain in the ****, but for some of you with more demanding tasks that are on a deadline it might work in a pinch.
Edit 2: Some members of this thread have had success rolling their Nvidia drivers back to version 27.21.14.6109. This appears to stop the BSOD issue while keeping the gtx1050 active and stable. This can be found on Dell's website with a little searching. Anyone using this method should be aware that drivers are updated for a reason. Utilizing this method could leave your system open to security threats, etc. In my opinion this is still only a band-aid fix.

2022-08-28T12:19:15+00:00 I don´t know much, but could it be the switching between the integrated video card, and the nvidia 1050 -that doesnt work as it should? Is that the job of direct x?
Yes, I think you are on to it. I have had a couple instances when Adobe Photoshop reports that the video card is not compatible, and I discover that Adobe does not even recognize the NVidia 1050 anymore. It switches to recognizing only the crummy Intel HD. I have no clue why this is happening. Why is the NVidia 1050 "disappearing"???

2022-08-29T06:46:14+00:00 Hi,
Same problem here. We have two identical Dell Precision 3551 with Quadro P620 videocards. When using Solidworks, we will have a BOSD within 10 minutes. Disabling the P620 Quadro cards immididatly solves the problem, however some fuctions withing SW are not working properly anymore.
Tried all the DDU stuff. Started happening couple of months ago and the problem has become worse. Called a Dell techline, they had no clue and recommend reinstalling Windows.

2022-08-29T16:47:54+00:00 I have the same "video dxgkrnl fatal error Windows 10 dell XPS laptop" continously. I had it for a check at an Euronics shop, the reinstalled drivers, but at the end it did not help at all. It is a Dell XPS 15 9560 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU, 2.80GHz. Windows 10 Pro 21H2, installiert 02.11.2020.
Betriebssystembuild 19044.1889.Dell Command Update all ok.
SCF /scannow durchgeführt
The is no rule to discover for the bluescreen to come up. It often happens when closing down after the applications including MS office habe been normally closed. But it does not happen always in shut down cases.
The eventlog (attached) shows a more or less constant sequence of errors until bluescreen:
EventLog 6008
volmgr 161
Service Control Manager 7000
BugCheck 1001
I came several times over a tool for repair called restoro. Is this recommended for such problems or are there other ideas out there?
Thanks for any help and regards

2022-08-29T18:08:39+00:00 Hi everybody,
if the issue may be due to a conflict between NVIDIA and Intel graphics, could it be that the fix is the one indicated by Microsoft for the conflict between AMD and Intel graphic adapters? Have a look here
If this could be the fix, here you can read how to disable the Intel Power Management Driver https://www.techwalla.com/articles/how-to-disable-the-intel-power-management-driver
After you rename intelppm.sys, you will get yellow icons in the device manager for processors, as reported here https://www.thewindowsclub.com/fix-intelppm-sys-blue-screen-error-on-windows-10
At this stage you may have to reinstall the drivers. You can do that with the Intel Driver & Support Assistant.
Please let me know any feedback.
