Every time I open a project in D5, I automatically get a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). I have already tried cleaning up temporary files, resetting the Nvidia Control Panel settings, and performing a clean driver installation using DDU, but nothing works
Hi @Clov! No, it’s not just one file, it happens with every file I open. At first, I’d get a BSOD only once in a while while working on a project, but now, as soon as I open a file, the blue screen pops up within 5 seconds
Before using DDU, Windows was giving me this error
Based on your setup (RTX 3080, 32GB RAM, Ryzen 7 5700G) and the CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED error occurring immediately upon opening D5 (even with an empty file), this suggests a system-level issue, most likely related to GPU drivers or a hardware conflict.
Please try the following:
Clean reinstall GPU drivers (most important)
Use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to completely remove your current NVIDIA drivers (preferably in Safe Mode) - Since you have done this you may reinstall a stable version of your drivers.
Reinstall a stable driver version (not necessarily the latest try 1–2 versions older, or 566 version)
Disable integrated graphics (important for Ryzen 7 5700G)
Your CPU has built-in graphics, which can conflict with your RTX 3080.
The error code suggests possible system file corruption.
Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run:
sfc /scannow
Then:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
If your system also randomly restarts under load, your PSU might be a factor. The RTX 3080 can have high power spikes, so ensure your PSU is sufficient and reliable.
