Driver Issues Z170 Chipset i5-6600K Processor

Hello,

I've been having a lot of BSOD issues with my PC. I did a reinstall of windows and it still happens. I have this issue in the device manager:

I am not sure if those could be related to my BSOD issues. But I'd like to get the correct drivers loaded either way.

I downloaded "Intel Driver & Support Assistant" but it says my machine is up to date... I'm running Windows10. The BSOD is normally coming from:

ExceptionAddress: fffff801364c14fa (dxgmms2!VidSchiCheckNodeTimeout+0x00000000000000aa)
   ExceptionCode: c0000005 (Access violation)

Which I think is something with DirectX. I do have a Nvidia graphics card in this system and don't use the on-board graphics capabilities of the Intel chip.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Install the chipset inf.

And, check your memory.

Thanks for the reply AlHill. Do you know where I can locate the chipset inf? When you say 'check your memory'. . . I did download and run a ram test. I booted to it from a usb drive, though I forget the name of it now. I'm guessing you are thinking perhaps this issue is a hardware issue with the memory modules? Can I ask what is making you think that? I had 16GB of RAM in this PC, I took half out. Still have the issue.

The memory was a weird config though, it has 2 sticks that do 8GB or RAM, and one stick for another 8... So I took the one stick out as I thought maybe that was causing a weird timing issue or something...

I do have WinDBG loaded and the memory.dmp handy if anything in that is useful...

Thanks for any continued help!

Your motherboard manufacturer should have the chipset inf on their support page for your board.
