  1. TDR_Error crashes without BSOD when idle


    Hello everyone,I'm experiencing frequent system crashes without a BSOD. Instead, my PC appears to be running, but when I click on something, the window freezes completely, and after a few seconds of interaction, the screen goes black, the system shuts down, and restarts. The crash dump indicates a TDR_ERROR related to the Nvidia kernel driver.The issue typically occurs after about 30 minutes to an hour of inactivity—sometimes even sooner and rather inconsistently. It also happens during specific actions, such as at game startup, although never under heavy load I’ve tested with Blender, FurMar

    all games crash!

    I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
    Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
    What happens?
    If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

    P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
    Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
    What X1800XT model do you own exactly?
     
  3. Random but frequent BSOD after idling for some time.

    Hello, our computers in computer labs with Dell OptiPlex 7470 often run into BSODs after certain amount of idle time. Below are the common errors we see:

    • KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR
    • CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED
    • SYSTEM_SERVICE_ERROR
    These are domain-joined computers, running with same Windows master image deployed through Clonezilla.

    Their occurrence seems random and without pattern, one computer can show BSODs with these respective errors at different times.

    Below are the steps we tried:

    • chkdsk /f /r /x
    • dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth: no error found
    • sfc /scannow: no error found
    (The above three commands in order)

    • Hibernate and Fast Startup is disabled
    • Power Management for screen, hard disk, computer set to never sleep in any scenario
    • C-state control disabled in BIOS
    • Scanned disk for any errors using the software, CrystalDiskInfo.
    • Windows Memory Diagnostic (shows no error found)
    • Driver Verifier (unsure of how to continue using it after its BSOD showing Verifier found violations)
    • Cleaned and reseated RAM
    • Swapped with SSD with same Windows image.
    • Pulled out one of the workstations out to test environment and installed with clean windows image, does not have BSOD issue.
    But the problem seems to be re-occurring every now and then even after all these steps.

    Below I am attaching a screenshot of output of msinfo32 and all the dump files we had in one of the workstations.

    Win 10 backgroundTaskHost.exe crashed - Constant BSOD when idle

    Hi Mala,

    Thank you for your quick reply.

    Here are the answers to your questions:



    1.
    What is the make and model of the computer?

      • Dell Latitude 5591 Purchased 2019
    2.
    Which version of Windows is installed on your machine?

      • Win 10 Pro, Version 1809, OS Build 17763.529
    3.
    Have you tried booting the PC in Safe mode to know if the issue persists?

      • No, would be hard to work in safe mode
    4.
    Have you installed any non-Microsoft security software on your PC?

      • No, nothing


    I’m receiving 2 types of BSODs

    UEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION



    It happens while I work, usually browsing. I think always when browsing. The computer gets into waiting mode (mouse icon) and BSODs in a couple of seconds after that.



    REGISTRY_ERROR

    When idle, I come back to this BSOD after leaving the computer for a while.



    Attached another 2 dumps.

    backgroundTaskHost.exe.18816.zip

    backgroundTaskHost.exe.4552.zip



    Perhaps you can tell me how I can force more dumps? Memory dumps? It stays on 0% complete forever.



    Thank you,

    Gil
