Phase

heh,,, Yeah I did a full reinstall and haven't seen it since but it also only bluescreened twice in a week before that so i'll have to see, honestly at this point I'm more curious why I can't seem to tab back into fullscreen processes from desktop / tabbing into anything is weird and wonky

so far the games that have repeatedly bluescreened me are gunfire reborn and spiral knights, must be something about cutesy aesthetics that my pc is just allergic to

@Michael could an overheating component not even lead to a WHEA bsod?

indie games / weird low budget MMOs and the like

Weirdly though my bluescreens have only ever happened on extremely resource un-intensive games

Yeah, afaik 80c is a safe temp for the card and it goes through some pretty strenuous stuff, I'm more just wondering if the airflow is poor going by the time it takes to return to idle [30-35c]. And yeah I've been checking the gpu temp ingame and it steadily rises to 81 but never goes a degree above that, and 81 is the throttle temp set on the card

would that not depend on the workload though? It throttles at 80c but until then it just renders more frames idk

hello, if i may ask one final dumb question before i stop staining the chatroom: what is a healthy time for my gpu to cool from temps from high workload [80c] to idle [currently seeming to be 40c]

I think I'll just call an exorcist

but like when I click an application there's more than one instance of on taskbar, it does nothing

I haven't tested a fullscreen game yet though because idk if that's a good idea with only base graphics drivers

@Bob howdy, I removed everything nvidia but the weird alt tabbing behaviour is still around

of the latest version again?

interestingly / terrifyingly enough I cannot seem to even open nvidia control panel, had to use geforce experience lmao

471.68

Okay sorry some irl stuff came up

im just redownloading geforce

although im a bit confused as to it saying the date was 8/5/2021, since i updated the drivers like 3 days ago

30.0.14.7168

sec ill just use dxdiag

:|

would love to tell you but i can't get to my desktop

Ah

pretty sure my brain ends at the stem

I would tell you but in a flash of genius i uninstalled geforce experience hoping that would fix something

Nvidia

I should also probably get those spider webs out of my pc case B^)

okay that very well may be it then! thank you i'll give it a shot if it happens again

Oh, I didn't know, I guess it just does it every now and then then

fair!

@Bob Oh also maybe I miscommunicated, what I was asking is if it was possible to have a game assigned to a faulty part of the hard drive itself that referencing would cause issues with, I'm completely clueless as to low level stuff though

question: could antivirus cause this?

the graphics ones I mean, which would confuse me a bit as to being the source of this, I'll give it a try though

so it may be the drivers but they don't autoupdate im 99% sure

I did do that beforehand, I had both cpu and gpu maxed out for a good 20+ minutes and nothing happened

and ah sorry i forgot lemme do that now

This basically only ever seems to have happened with games on my D:/ drive, and particular games at a time that were installed relatively soon relative to each other. Could it be a faulty section of memory on my hard drive?

I have an idea but let me know if it's completely idiotic

Thanks! Idk if I'd call it recurring or not, since its been like half a year since i was getting these issues before

oh

how would I go about doing that?

I'm at a loss :^(

I updated my graphics driver after this issue started popping up and it didn't fix it

i just type kb in the windbg input field?

like if I have two instances of chrome open, clicking it on taskbar does nothing, and if i tab out of any fullscreen application to desktop I can't tab back in. Probably completely unrelated though

but this and other weird issues have popped up after last windows update it feels

Sort of? I had this issue before, ran memtest and cpu stress tested etc, eventually restored to fresh install of windows and it was fine

"!analyze -v"

yeah
