[Balthazar] Stability Testing

• 2 days 22 hours uptime with two twitch streams running on 1080p monitiors.
• Trying 5 VM's now on main display.
• Crash of nvidia driver at over 3 days uptime with 2 streams running and 5 VM's.
• Nvidia BSOD at 17+ hours uptime, with 4 VM's running since 10 hours uptime.
• Tried disabling Message Signaled Interrupt for the StorACHI driver. No apparent change.
• 2 days 2 hours uptime. Recieved BSOD while watching video from media01 server, and trying to move a chrome window from the main monitor to the right one.
• 3 days uptime with two streams running before driver crashed and I had to alt ctrl del. Occasionally watched videos off the local servers as well.
• 12 hours before running two VM's caused an nvidia driver BSOD
• BSOD after 3 days with 2 streams running and machine locked.
• Uninstalled DisplayFusion to see if app hooks were affecting NVIDIA drivers. Testing with 3 streams.
• Running four youtube videos on the bottom four 2K monitors causes the nvidia driver to crash.
• Uninstalled video drivers and then used Display Driver Uninstaller to clean any remnents. Then I installed vers 376.19 and had issues because for some reason Nvidia enables SLI by default. Everything seems ok now, still seeing high SSD usage.
• No such luck. I did I system restore to monday and still got a BSOD at 2 hours uptime citing a driver irq not equal or less.
• Despite doing a system restore I am still getting BSOD after 2 hours uptime with 2 streams running, so I am going to try updating the LSI Megaraid drivers with one for windows 8.1 from 2015
• The "new" LSI Megaraid drivers work, but the Device Manager says they are from 2013?
• Tried with old and new nvidia drivers, old ones caused time out, newest ones a BSOD, so I'm restoring from the backup on Thursday the 8th.
• I updated the LSI Megaraid driver and everything seems better now. 12 hours uptime and counting with 2 streams.
• Over 2 days uptime now running 2 streams.
• Macrium reflect backup completed succesfully without BSOD at 1 day 23 hours uptime.
• Uptime 4 days 8 hours no BSOD!
• Backup at 2 days 19 hours uptime successful with no BSOD!

[Balthazar] TDR Video driver time out BSOD

TDR BSOD event at about 3 days 20 hours uptime.

1. Going to install new video drivers.
2. Current version: 372.54
3. Driver install failed, trying clean install.
4. The new driver ( 375.70 ) seems to leave the 640's disabled, reinstalling driver 372.54
5. Reinstall of old driver worked! Everything seems back to normal.
6. No such luck, updated windows as of oct 27th update, hard lock up with 2 monitors having lost signal.
7. Gonna try the oct 6th nvidia drivers. (737.06)
8. 11 hours uptime with 3 streams on.
9. 5 streams caused a lock up
10. Restoring to Nov 1st backup.
11. No such luck, the nvidia driver is still having the stopped responding behavior.
12. Using the Edge browser seems to have lessened the problem, but upon starting up skype and discord with 4 streams running, I got a BSOD from the nvidia driver with an (IRQL not less or equal)
13. Uninstalled the old driver, failure upon trying to install the latest driver. So I just let windows handle it. it took over ten minutes I think, but it found all the video cards and monitors!
14. Installed old driver (368.22 or 368.81?). Seems stable with 3 streams.
15. BSOD at 4+ hrs uptime when going from two to three streams.
16. Disabled the bottom GTX 580 shortly after logging into windows. Running fine with 3 streams.
17. Restored to the October 20th 2016 backup. Had one CRITICAL PROCESS DIED (?) error. windows updated to current. Uninstalled intel update managers (2?) because of williamette service error annoyance filling up log files. Everything now seems as stable as before the page file crash/corruption.
18. It seems more stable than before the restore, but I am still having issues with the nvidia driver BSODing. Could this be from windows updates?
