I had a BSOD in the middle of descent on a 45 minute flight, I wasn't tabbing in and out of the sim or anything at all. Just watching the aircraft descend and BAM. BSOD. 

 

Specs in Sig, PMDG Ngx, ASN, UT2, REX (textures only), FSDT and Flightbeam, EzDok. 

 

Note this is not a regular crash, I have seen the IRQL before but its random and only about 2 times or so a month, maybe 3 if I am on the sim a lot.

This is the probable solution - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff560129%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

 

You should also run a Driver Update program such as the one I use - Driver Booster.  It is freeware (but has a lot of nags to try to get you to purchase) but it works.

 

Best regards,

Ran the driver update program, found 11 things that needed updating took care of that. Was flying KSFO KLAX 777 and just got a BSOD, here is the Event viewer:

It said something about IRQL Security or something, I missed it before I could commit it to memory.

 

Did you scan your system for corrupted drivers as this is a driver issue?

 

Use the System File Checker to look for corrupt/missing files (AKA - SFC \scannow) - If you are unfamiliar with the procedures to scan your system, please go to the following link for procedures depending on your Windows version - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929833.  Basically, you will use the Windows Search and search for ‘Run’, look up in the menu and open up your ‘Run’ command in elevated mode (right click and open with Administrator Rights).  You then enter sfc \scannow and the press the enter key.  This program will then scan your system for corrupted or missing files and replace them if any are found.

 

Since you ran a driver updater and you updated your drivers (11 of them), it must be a corrupted system file.

 

Bugcheck code 0139 indicates kernel security check failure.  Several individuals at Nvidia indicated they were getting this error suddenly and they resolved it by going back to an earlier driver.  Also make sure your video card is properly seated and all connections are snug.

 

Best regards,

Sfc Scan did not find any integrity violations, my Nvidia drivers are from 3/7/2016 version 10.18.13.6451 I have not got the latest ones yet. Are you advising I roll back to an older driver? Do both BSOD's indicate the same fault?

I'm just saying that this error was fixed when several individuals went back to a previous version of their display drivers.  Your drivers are older than the latest.  The latest WHQL drivers are 364.72.

 

EDIT:  Wanted to add that a BSOD is pretty serious.  It means a hardware issue (failing, not properly seated, bad drivers causing it to fail).  You want to fix this as soon as possible as you could do serious damage to your computer.

 

Best regards,

Right, I understand the severity, but my graphics card is properly seated, PSU is more than enough for the job, power connections secure, BIOS updated the latest. I am not sure what else I could check or do. Maybe try the latest nvidia drivers then? Its all I can really think of. 

I guess I will have to try different drivers and see. I checked all my connections and they are fine. Are both BSODs related to the same issue or area? It doesn't have anything to do with my overclock does it? I can add a little more volts if need be, but CPU stress tests are fine and nothing fails. 

An overclock or too high/low cpu voltage would have been most likely a bugcheck code of 0124.
