driver 8626 whql bsods when rendering video in davinci resolve

[grave pendant]

bsod code is DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, rolling driver back to driver 8331 fixes the bsods

[upbeat acorn]

Does the issue reproduce with 8531 gfx driver?

[grave pendant]

no clue i only use whql drivers

i also remember driver 8509 giving bsods

[upbeat acorn]

I see, it's a good practice to stick with whql drivers.

But for 8626, stay away from it. Intel released a buggy driver (again).

Can confirm also been bsod-ing with this code on both 8626 and 8531, going to rollback to 8331

See if it stops

[devout gull]

More and more are reporting similar issue

[grave pendant]

wtf they removed 8331

[devout gull]

You can find all versions archived in techpowerup website

[solemn oxide]

there should be a link somewhere underneath looking at 'older' versions which will include 8331

[grave pendant]

oh its in "historical" drivers i found it

[solemn oxide]

When I said I was facing similar issues, it wasn't for just davinci, but for video games

But reverting back to 8331 has stopped all BSOD I was getting

-# for the people who want to find older drivers

Yes, the 8331 is the most stable right now, but XESS anti-aliasing and frame generation do not work on them in some games

At the same time, it seems that in the update they wrote that they fixed it, but the BSOD, when moving between windows using the keyboard, still sits on the current drivers

[grave pendant]

im gonna test out 8629 (it released like 2-3 days ago)

[grave pendant]

insta bsod after i clicked render in davinci resolve

[tulip storm]

As far as I understand, a couple of employees (probably from the testing department) are now trying to reproduce this bug, but at the moment they are clean, I have a suspicion that all these errors may somehow be related to the vendor of the video card

Still, I don't have a reference version of the video card

[grave pendant]

av1 hits bsod the fastest iirc, maybe its smth with encoding/decoding?

[tulip storm]

It is unlikely that I can cause this error on new drivers literally within a minute without even entering the working software, by the way, the latest 8629 drivers In fact, they only add gaming support for "professional" video cards like the B70

[tulip storm]

Has anyone tested the new 8724 drivers? It seems that it does not state either that the problem has been fixed, or that it exists at all

[tulip storm]

Well, at the moment, a quick run through all the methods for causing BSODs doesn't work, but I would say that a longer run through both work and everyday tasks is needed to confirm anything for sure.

[boreal drift]

any update?

[tulip storm]

Update 8724, I see that beta 8735 has also appeared, but I haven't tested it. 8724 is causing my system to slow down for some reason.

[boreal drift]

I meant if you had tested it mb lol. I'll try and do some testing of my own but it doesn't look like Intel even acknowledges this bug yet lol.

[tulip storm]

Yes, that's true, but at least when discussing it on GitHub, they came to the conclusion that it had been fixed and closed the topic.

In any case, for now I've rolled back to 8331

[boreal drift]

from what i saw, devs just said "we'll look into it" only this last week or two. Intel driver release notes don't even mention it as a known issue 🗿

https://github.com/IGCIT/Intel-GPU-Community-Issue-Tracker-IGCIT/issues/1411

[tulip storm]

and most likely will not appear

[tulip storm]

Well, that's some other thread, one of the people involved created another one and it was closed a couple of days ago.

[boreal drift]

there are like 8 of these threads lol. everyone is having these issues and at first Intel was saying it was bad cards and now they're realizing it's bad drivers lol

I wonder if it's related to this in any way? It seems like the crashes are being caused by high dpc and the system overloading, which has been a problem with the B series gpu drivers since release.

https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Arc-Discrete-Graphics/B580-Bad-audio-high-DPC-latency-from-dxgkrnl-sys/m-p/1700318

either way I hope they fix these issues soon

[tulip storm]

Well, again, with the release of 8724, my BSODs stopped, but the overall stability of the system is questionable. I'll still be using 8331.

[solemn oxide]

I've found more stability enabling

you can find this in 'graphics settings'

[boreal drift]

sadly doesnt work for cards like b570 which dont have this ;-;

[solemn oxide]

Ahh shucks, sorry sister

[tulip storm]

Is this in the Intel graphics software settings or in the system settings?

Because I couldn't find this option in the Windows 10 settings after switching to the b580.

[solemn oxide]

Graphics settings > advanced

[solemn oxide]

System

[tulip storm]

I don't have this parameter in my system. I remember it was there, but after switching to the b580, it disappeared. I thought that after updating the driver, it would appear, but no.

I might have to go into the registry now.

[solemn oxide]

It's a windows setting, but under graphics settings

You might not find it under 'system' you'll find it under graphics settings
