Hello.
I don't know where to turn to, so I'm going to turn here in hopes of having some help because I don't know what my options are anymore because these crashes are unpredictable (to some extent).
I tried:
reinstalling windows (many times with different settings)
reinstalling nvidia drivers with DDU (tried this about 7-8 times in safe-mode)
running mem/ram tests (three times)
running disk checks (twice)
doing sfc scans (at least 9-10 times)
running graphics benchmarks such as Fur Mark (probably 6-7 times)
changing/increasing TDR values for graphics controls in registry (doesn't seem to do anything)
All tests come back with GOOD results--no issues reported. I just don't know what the cause is. Could it be that nvidia can't get a driver that works? Or is it a windows issue? I don't have any idea on how to fix this. Maybe someone can help...
I can say that prior to Windows 10 1903 update, everything was fine. But after updating it from what the OEM gave me, nothing seems to work and reinstalling Windows doesn't help.
Here's what's interesting. Games seem to do the trick best (I originally found out that I couldn't do 3D modeling work, and I wondered if it would extend to games--it does). There's one particular game, though, that will cause a crash instantly if I go to the "map" to browse where I want to actually go. All I have to do is press "F" at the map and it will hang up and the computer will crash. Another game, for example, used to crash at the same cut scene every time. After reinstalling drivers and installing intel mangement engine (whatever that is, since I read that it can help), I can get past the cut scene now. Even so, it will still crash unpredictably somewhere else after some time of running around. Even weirder: I can restart the game while the video is in the process of a crash and it will load the map fine (until the PC force-reboots itself as a result of the previous crash--this usually takes about a minute, or enough time for me to reload everything). But the error has evolved from an nvidia error (dxdiag or the nvlddmkm.sys to ntoskrnl or something)... idk what's going on. Even if I try to run anything with intel graphics instead (selecting it from menu when right-clicking), the nvidia kernel stuff crashes anyway, it appears. Basically, it doesn't make sense if the hardware is being switched. Unless the issue lies with something else.
· OS - Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista ?
WIN 10
· x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit)?
64 bit
· What was the originally installed OS on the system?
I guess version 1803.
· Is the OS an OEM version (came pre-installed on system) or full retail version (YOU purchased it from retailer)?
I'm not sure? It comes custom-built and I asked them to install Windows on it.
· Age of system (hardware)
~2 months
· Age of OS installation - have you re-installed the OS?
Literally just reformatted and reinstalled everything about a week ago.
· CPU
8750h
· Video Card
2060 mobile
· System Manufacturer
Clevo/Pro Star
· Exact model number (if laptop, check label on the bottom)
P970ED
· Laptop or Desktop?
Laptop
And here's what WhoCrashed shows, just as a preview to show what has been happening (with sysnativefilecollection zip attached below):
I want to say that I will appreciate any help in advance! I'm utterly flabbergasted, so if anyone can point me in the direction of fixing this, I thank you very much! I just hope it's not a hardware issue for something so new
