WHEA Uncorrectable Error BSOD crash during gaming

[ChandlerBing]

Gurus need your help on this that happened last night.

My system specs on the right. It's a new setup, just built it last month.

Prior to last night's crash I was able to play BF V, GTA Online and CS Go with absolutely no problems at all.

However, after being prompted by Nvidia GeForce experience to update my graphics card drivers to version 417.71, I did so and shut down my pc thereafter. Didn't touch it after that.

Last night when I tried to play GTA online, it crashed with that bsod error. Same thing happened when I tried BF V. The BOSD would occur once the maps are loaded and you spawn.

The strange thing is it doesn't happen on CS Go. I was able to play CS Go normally. Likewise for FM 19.

My BIOS and all other drivers are updated. Windows 10 updated as well.

I have not overclocked my system (at least not yet) so everything is at stock speed.

Googling for this points to either faulty hardware or driver issue. I'm inclined to think that it is the Nvidia driver as this happened after I updated the driver to version 417.7. My PC was running fine on all games prior to this.

I tried reinstalling the Nvidia driver and also rolling back to the earlier version before I started having this problem, but the crashes persist on BF V and GTA. No issues on CS GO and FM 19.

Appreciate if anybody can help. Thanks!

Downloaded DDU to clean up the all traces of the nVidia drivers, old and new, reinstalled previous version that was running fine for me v417.35 before the BSODs, and it is working so far.

Not sure if it was v417.71 that was incompatible or buggy for me or it was a botched installation, but will not update my nvidia driver for now.

Thanks for the advice guys.

Thanks!

This was a replacement for my previous 6 year-old build which was failing incrementally last year - no point changing out bit by bit, just whack a new setup for the next 6-7 years.

No I did not. Don't think there is a need to now.

Thanks!
