Experiencing Blue Screen Error 0x00000116 with nvlddmkm.sys on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

Hello, since yesterday I get a Blue Screen (0x00000116) pops up every time I turn on my computer , the computer resets and then turns on normally. The problem is that turning on any game I have 10fps and terrible lag. I think it is because of this. I read on the Internet that this error is related to the graphics card. Is it possible that my graphics card is dead? I checked the drivers for the card and they are 100% the latest. Is there any program or any way to check if the card is working?

system: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1
proccek: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 @ 2.33GHz
motherboard: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. G31M-S2C (Socket 775)
graphics card. : 1024MB nVidia GeForce 9800 GT GDDR3

Yes.

Run e.g.: 3DMArk 2006/Vantage test - check if the card does not display distortion in the displayed image.


Make and model of power supply?

Exactly those http://www.nvidia.pl/object/win8-win7-winvista-64bit-310.90-whql-driver-pl.html Compatible with my card for sure, otherwise an error would pop up during installation.

I'm not worried about the power supply, as I replaced it a few months ago with a fairly decent CORSAIR CX600V2 600W.

So I did a test with this program and at the end it gave me this link, I think here are the results, so I'm posting it: http://www.3dmark.com/3dm06/17115732
So while displaying these videos I had from 3-25 FPS, where normally in games I have about 70-80 FPS. So there is probably something wrong with this card, just what? Can something be done about it?

Give a screen from GPU-Z -> GPU and Sensors tab
Give a screen from CPU-Z -> CPU and Maniboard tab.

Set PCI-E in the bios to x16, if it is so set now then probably the card is defective - check on another computer.

You can still reinstall the drivers to some earlier version e.g.: 301 earlier by cleaning the system from old drivers with Driver Sweeper.

One question, how to change in bios PCI-Express to x16 ?
My bios: Award software international F6

Nobody knows????

Give a snapshot of CristalDiskInfo.

I looked through the manual and did not find.

See if it is possible to change in MB Intelligent Tweaker or in Advenced BIOS Features. Previously in the bios press CTRL + F1.

If there is no such option you need to check the card in another computer and see how the PCI-E is set.

For that matter, nothing....

Re-install the drivers from your graphics card. I had the same error and after installing the latest drivers everything went back to normal.

The problem is that in the other computer I have AGP input and I have no way to check.

I wrote earlier that I did this and it didn't do anything.

Motherboard drivers installed correctly?

Error 0x116 indicates a problem with the driver, or the graphics card. Try uploading the latest driver, and if it doesn't help, the card probably qualifies for scrapping.

It has uploaded.


Everything points to a faulty card i.e. BSOD, card operation in x1 mode but to be 100% sure you should check the card on another computer or another card on your own.

And, I didn't read it apparently, because I didn't see it mentioned anywhere. Since the driver is uploaded, surely the card is banged up.

Thank you all for your help, Everything is now working . Here's what I did: took out the card, cleaned it thoroughly and did a Format. After installing all updates and drivers, everything laughs as before I don't know myself what was the problem anymore....
