[SOLVED] GPU Crashes/ sfc Scan Fails - Windows 7 Professional SP1 64x

[Lucaa]

Hello,

so my GPU (Nvidia GeForxe GTX 1060) started crashing after one week of not using my PC at all. [So I didnt changed or installed anything noticeable to my System in this time and before].
It crashes just in a specific game & launcher so far -Blizzard Launcher- and -World of Warcraft-. Black & White pixels in screen and freeze for maybe 2 seconds after playing for like 30-45 minutes, then everything goes to normal or a complete PC shutdown.
After freeze, I notice the message:
'Nvidia Kernel Mode Driver has stopped responding and has recovered'
Before it was 'Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered'. But then I deleted my old Nvidia drivers via 'DriverDisplayUninstaller' and searched for old nvlddmkm.sys files, that wont be deleted. I deleted them all and installed the latest Nvidia driver for my card.
Other games on Steam seems fine so far, surfing with Mozilla Firefox also no problem.

I´ve updated every known driver on my Mainboard via manufacturer site (Only BIOS is missing). I checked my RAM via 'mdsched.exe'. I checked my HardDrive C: via 'chkdsk /f' - nothing noticeable. Sfc /scannow found corrupt files but cannot repair.

-Got 2 latest C:\Windows\LiveKernelReports\WATCHDOG .dmp files, after the complete shutdown. I will attach screenshots from BlueScreenViewer.

Thanks for any help!

I have managed to extract the 6 missing nVIDIA files from my Windows 7 DVD, located in C:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_nv_lh.inf_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_4a5c7d78e486512b.
sfc /scannow runs fine now.

But I´ve noticed the missing 'nvlddmkm.sys'filefor exampleis from 2009.
The 'nvlddmkm.sys' file of my current Graphic Card Driver located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers for example, is from 2018 and has much newer Version number. Do I have to replace it???
Should I ever replace nVIDIA things in C:\Windows\winsxs\ with newer stuff to fix the 'nvlddmkm stopped responding...' problem?

Hello!

No, manual replacements should never be necessary! Has the hardware been tested to verify that the GPU itself is not broken?

 

[Lucaa]

Hey thanks for your reply!
So I wont replace anything in there with current drivers.

Had no BSOD for 3 days in normal activities, like browsing or even playing games with Steam and opened Blizzard Launcher in background. Took me some time to update every last driver and re-install things.
Will test playing World of Warcraft this week.
Only have this GPU, so its hard to test for me.

I was hoping for a software/driver issue, if another BSOD occurs while playing World of Warcraft and everything else runs fine, I´m helpless ...

Since this is no longer a WU issue, I will advise you that you start a thread in our BSOD forum to get more expert help if drivers don't help.
