SOLVED BSOD after Patch Tuesday updates

[yodap]

Yes I did, meant to tell ya.

Cool...perhaps the issue is fixed then. Have there been any further bsods since doing that? If not, great. If so, post them and I'll see if it's the same issue.

Just the one I mentioned this morning.

I really think it's my very average graphics card not playing well with the F@H gpu client and I'm resolved to give it up (and the 750 points/day) to monitor the machine.

Nah, if things were well, nothing could cause a bsod like that.

You either have a defective video card, it's overheating from too much dust or improper fan operation, or the network driver is causing corruption.

I am noticing HWiNFO64A.SYS becoming unloaded in the crashes. I would definitely uninstall that software.

Still the same 0x116 error tdr error.

--------------

You can edit the registry to either increase the tdr timeout value or remove it all-together. This is a workaround type of fix:

Thanks for helping. I was starting to feel pretty stupid, not being able to find a simple driver.

Okay. I was using that to monitor temps. I'll look through the software DB for a replacement.

I forgot, that's a stand-alone. I don't use it all the time but I'll get rid of it for now.

Am I just paranoid or is it starting to look like the last round of patches from Microsoft was filling holes with C4 rather than Spackle?

I honestly don't think this had anything to do with the patches. Bad titling on my part.

I offer my sincere apologies to MS. As if they give a rats-a..!

Absolutely nothing to do with MS patches at all. The problem is 100% specific to his machine.

Out of the last 100 or so crash dumps I've looked at, there was only one other 0x116 tdr timeout which was fixed.

I'm not meaning just this. FC's welcome screen disappearing ... jumplists going away. Lot of issues ... it may be a coincidence ... just a thought.

Well it took a while but it was a defective card. Why can't these things die a quick painless death instead of a slow death, painful to all who care about it?
