Be aware that dual booting is potentially hazardous if you are running a raid0 array for your windows os. Linux once borrowed a bit of room on one of my drives a few years back and I had to reinstall the os and a few other things that were broken. 


Yeah I kinda gave up on dual booting years ago when I got tired of dealing with making the Windows and Linux bootloaders play together etc.  Usually I just play with Linux in a Hyper-V VM or something.  If I was going to full install it on a drive directly to a physical machine again I'd probably use a separate HD and swap as needed if it's in the same box (or figure out if I can use the drive selections in BIOS to choose which boot partition to boot from or whatever) or I'd just build a machine for it.

I usually dedicate a small drive for linux. A simple 250GB or so drive. And just boot between them when games don't work so well under linux. Modern linux boot loader just tells UEFI to boot the Windiws bootloader which works like normal. Haven't had ant really problems in years. Uefi solved a lot of those old bootloader overwriting problems

Ugh, just had a video driver related bluescreen.  It's been running fine until now for a couple days on the 446's.  I'm going to assume it's a bad WU again.  Volmgr failed at dump creation again, but there were 3 nvkdm errors in a row in the event log right before the reboot.

Check your GPU temps.
Also, a lot of bluescreens on early models, no cooling pads between the RAM and heat sink were to blame for it.
Resulted in pixelated images until the image completely disappeared.

GPU temps are fine.  2080 Super FTW3 with factory installed hydro copper block bought in September 2019 direct from EVGA.  GPU temps 48-52C over extended folding periods depending on the WU, no temps looking weird or anything in Precision from the ICX sensors around the card.

If different drivers aren't resolving the issue then it could be a faulty video card. Underclocking the card to max negative clocks on the core & memory via msi afterburner should help make the issue go away if the card is faulty.

I think it's just some random bad WU's coming through still since other were finally reporting having a few reboots.  I ran for days with no issues when I DDU'd and rolled back to the 445's, moved back to 446's and got an occasional restart but not like it originally was.  Anything else, gaming etc., there's no issues.  Not getting any artifacting or anything either.
