When blamed in a crash: Often a victim, dig deeper

What to do

Windows' video memory scheduler. Almost always a symptom of the vendor GPU driver or unstable RAM/VRAM.

  1. Clean-install your GPU vendor's driver.
  2. Test system RAM (Windows Memory Diagnostic) and remove memory overclocks.
  3. Run Windows Update.
