I've had BSOD of death on my gaming laptop for about 6 months. I have tried to fix it in past with help from this subreddit before and suggestions was replace the RAM which I did and achieved nothing but a slightly lighter wallet. Also laptop is no longer under warrenty so sending it back for repairs is not really an option.
It exclusivy happens on loading screens for games specifically Arma 3 and Football Manager 17 and in the last few days Players Unknown has stopped working and is crashing on the loading screens as well. When games crash if I can get task manager to open the disk speed reads at 100% or close to whilst the CPU, RAM and network read anywhere from the teens to the low fifties, ending the games in the task manager if I can get it to open temporarily makes the computer run okay vbut within 30 seconds it will always BSOD.
When it BSOD I get the message Drive Power State Failure. https://ufile.io/iblqs. Ive had a look myself and the main suggestions are pci.sys dxgkrnl.sys and memory corruption depending on which dump you look at.
I have also formatted the hardrive 2 times reinstalled windows 3 times and swapped the RAM around a few times as well as running MEMtest for 24 hours around 24 passes on the old RAM and roughly same amount of time and passes on the new RAM yesterday and it has never once producded an error of any description. Should be noted as well I have gone through the drivers with a fine toothcomb and updated them all including a few that had to be done manually as the auto update on the airplane mode drivers was a hot pile of mess. Also unistalled all graphics drivers and tried old versions new versions different combination for both the Nvidia card and the inbuilt Intel HD chip.
Side note as well I have tried to google the program error codes etc and tried every solution under the sun I could find and nothing has worked for more than a few hours which was mostly football manager which was achieved my deleting the caches for the game.
