*SOLVED* BSOD Video Scheduler Internal Error
I've just recently done a rather large upgrade on my rig. I reformatted all of my drives and wiped everything completely. I've got plenty of experience building PCs and it runs beautifully with everything other than Fallout 4 so I'm not worried about it being a damaged hardware issue. Every time I try to play it, I'm able to load up a save and play for 30 seconds to 1 minute before the game crashes my whole computer and I get a BSOD with error: Video Scheduler Internal Error.

I've done some research and thought it could be tied to RAM overclock speeds but I tried setting it back to default but it did not help. Could this just be a driver issue? Once again I don't have any issues with anything else and it's not a heat issue.

Anyone have any ideas?

My specs:

I9-9900K
Aorus GTX 2080 Super
32gb 3200mhz DDR4 Ram



EDIT: Thank you for everyone's input. If you are experiencing this crash too with newer graphics cards, try turning weapon debris off in the launcher graphics settings.

Try previous version drivers, use DDU as well to scrub the current ones.
Also be aware the weapon debris setting causes ctd's for the new Turing cards though not likely related to your current issue.

Interesting, I think completely turning off weapon debris fixed it. Thank you so much!

If it has then the BSOD is new to this problem.

Been playing now since you first commented. Seems like it was the fix! Normally couldn't make it 30 seconds in.

Good that it is running. But, check your game FPS. Running above 60 FPS will make the game unstable.

damn, this SAME thing happened to me tonight.
i was running a 1060, and upgraded to a 2060 super, i cranked the settings and turned weapon debris on, one shot from the plasma rifle and BSOD Video Scheduler Internal Error.
I was freaked out not gonna lie. disabling weapon debris solved the BSOD for me too and i was able to play for around 2 hours. thanks for this thread.

Total necro here, but I want to confirm that "weapon debris" is still an issue. I had about a 100 game going, and suddenly just started crashing about 10 seconds in ANYTIME I loaded in, and still happened ANYWHERE I fast traveled to.

Once I turned off weapon debris, it fixed it perfectly. I remember I ran into this crashing issue around 100 hours back close to vanilla launch. I bet it was the same problem, though I never figured it out.

I think weapon debris starts to build up over the world over the course of a long playthrough, and it starts to cause the save to become unstable. So removing it works great!

No, your setting should have said off, and more than likely if you did the same thing as the OP, and 'reset' something in your computer - even a driver change or any OS updates - your game's settings were changed. Weapon Debris *cannot function at all* on many current and nicer video cards. If it's turned on, it's a toggle - the game will either crash or it will not crash. There's no 'buildup' or level of debris that those cards can handle. They cannot handle it *at all*. So they WILL crash with it.
