This is driving me insane.
I have a computer at home that BSOD due to System thread exception not handled (dxgmms2.sys) when I watch netflix. And its wierd.
From cold boot it BSOD as soon as I start something on Netflix, but then after the warm reboot it doesn't BSOD on netflix unless I start some games at the same time, but not all games.
Seems it only happens with older DX9 games. IE: Majesty 2 gold and netflix always crash within 30 minutes, most of the time within 10 minutes. Same with EVE online and netflix at the same time. It does not happen with any of the newer games I play like Football manager 2020, unless its from a cold boot. From cold boot it bsod netflix every time even without a game started.
I did a clean windows install from Win10 x64 1703 build and it had nvidia 330 drivers. Did not BSOD. But after I updated to W10 1909 and nVidia 446 drivers it Bsod again.
SFC says everything is ok. I have run several passes with the windows mem diag and it always pass.
I don't think its a hardware problem since it doesn't BSOD on a old win_10 build with old GFX drivers. But does on newer W10 builds and new GFX drivers. Also after googling I see its a common problem and apparently only happens to people with nVidia cards.
I have tried to reset bios, I have tried serveral different Bios Versions. (now on the latest non beta, F14)
I have tried to set TdrDelay to 10 in registry.
I have tried many different nvidia drivers.
I see some people (but not all) have solved it by turning off hardware acceleration in registry. But was hoping not to have to do that.
Why does it always BSOD from cold boot, but not from warmboot with netflix? Also, I can watch youtube while gaming without BSOD.
What diags do you want me to run for this problem? Will run them when I get home from work.
