A persistent BSOD with the error Video Scheduler Internal Error can be much more than a simple nuisance. It can make working on your PC impossible and cause the loss of game progress and hours of work. If you have this issue, you need to fix it ASAP. But, due to the large number of variables that can cause the BSOD, it can be a cumbersome process. We have listed the best solutions that have worked for other Reddit users to fix the BSOD Video Scheduler Internal Error.
Remove and Reinstall the GPU Driver Using DDU
If you have recently started to notice the BSOD Video Scheduler Internal Error, it could be due to the GPU driver you have installed. Use the DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to remove the current driver completely and reboot the PC. Try getting the latest driver from the manufacturer’s website and install it. This should fix your problem if it occurred due to a corrupted driver.
Disable Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling
Few users have reported that disabling the hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling fixes the issue for them. This is a Windows feature that allows you to increase the performance of games when enabled but has caused issues in many games. Here is how to disable the Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling:
- Press Windows Key + I to open Settings
- Go to System > Display
- Click on Graphics in Related Settings
- Click on Change Default Graphics Settings
- Turn Off Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling
Switch the Browser
Many things can lead to the BSOD. One weird solution shared by a user was that he only got BSOD when using the Firefox browser to watch videos. Once he switched the browser and uninstalled Firefox that fixed the issue for him. This is a simple fix to try so give it a shot and with some luck your issue may be with the browser causing conflict with the GPU driver.
Update the BIOS
If updating the GPU driver did not fix your issue, another possible problem area could be the BIOS. Most people fail to update the BIOS for years and this can lead to many problems. The process to update the BIOS differs slightly depending on your Motherboard manufacturer or the laptop manufacturer. Go to the manufacturer’s website and download the latest BIOS software for your motherboard. Use the manual provided by the manufacturer to update the BIOS.
