Hello
About a month ago iv noticed that in rare occasions this bsod would pop up out of the blue and i haven't found any way to fix it. It seems to happen most commonly in Gta 5 on steam while playing. Another problem i found is that no matter what i do no mini dumps appear in its usual plase, il also leave a picture of the bsod on my screen. Thank you

Hi,
to help you best we need to see the actual dump files. As your machine isn't creating them please make sure your settings are set like thus:
Open the run application.
Type sysdm.cpl in the run box and click ok.
Look across the top of the system properties box for 'Advanced' and click that.
Look for 'Startup and Recovery' near the bottom and click 'settings'.
Near the bottom you'll see a drop down menu under the heading 'write debugging information'.
In the drop down menu choose ' small memory dump (256KB)'
Under 'small dump directory' make sure it says %SystemRoot%\Minidump.
Click ok and your good to go.

Other reasons for no dump file can include no pagefile or one that's below 200mb so if you changed it return to default values...

Damn.. Hmm is the card using boost or are you using anything like Rivatuner/MSI Afterburner or similar? If so try disabling it or even down clocking the card a little. I'm off to bed so will check back in the morning. Good luck!

i used to have those programs but i deleted them years ago other than that i don't have another GPU boosting things.
il try to find my gpuz logs and get them to you by tommorow.

Your sensor log looks fine. Make sure your running the latest chipset drivers and remember my suggestion above to try downclocking your gpu simply as a test. As for removing the Realtek driver won't that remove your audio all together? You could try it I guess.

Check with your motherboard support site and see if any updates (drivers/Bios and firmware) are available.

Remember my suggestion about down clocking the card.

Ok i turned my core clock to -103 clocking. Is this how you downclock it?

Yes although I'm not exactly sure what 103 relates to.. Maybe megahertz? So you have basically taken 103MHz off the speed. You could always use GPU-Z to check although you'll have to make sure you know what the card is usually set at.

Let's see if this has any affect.

Ok cool.. Looks like you've dropped the clock by 103MHz which is great. I see the boost is still enabled which might be an issue but see how you go.

So far iv done a few tests on games (Skyrim, fallout 1/2/3/NV, Men of war assault squad 1/2, metal gear solid 3 and 5) but so far it still happens on some multiplayer games like insurgency, csgo, Ark and War thunder. Although some multiplayer games like mount blade and source games work.

I would now try underclocking both the memory and gpu on the card. See this thread to see where I'm going with this:

If that still fails to help then let's look at your network system. Is the driver fully updated? Is there anything about the connection which could be the weak link?
