Fix dxgmms2.sys BSOD Blue Screen Error in Windows 11 or Windows 10
The DXGMMS2.SYS blue screen error typically occurs in Windows and is related to issues with the DirectX Graphics MMS (Memory Management Subsystem), a system file responsible for managing graphical rendering and memory. This file is crucial for handling graphics operations on your computer, especially in relation to DirectX. Here are the common causes of this error:
1. Outdated or Corrupt Graphics Drivers
Cause: The most common reason for the dxgmms2.sys blue screen error is outdated or corrupted graphics drivers. If your drivers are not compatible with your system, it can lead to instability.
Solution: Update your graphics drivers to the latest version from the manufacturer’s website (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel). If updating doesn’t help, try rolling back to a previous driver version.
2. Faulty or Incompatible Graphics Card
Cause: A failing or incompatible graphics card may also trigger this error, especially if the hardware is having trouble managing graphical tasks like gaming or 3D rendering.
Solution: Run hardware diagnostics on your graphics card or test it in another system to check if it is faulty. If the card is overclocked, resetting it to factory settings may also help.
3. Corrupted DirectX Installation
Cause: The dxgmms2.sys file is closely tied to DirectX, which is used for rendering graphics in many Windows applications and games. If DirectX is corrupt or not functioning correctly, it can lead to this blue screen error.
Solution: Reinstall or repair DirectX by downloading the latest version from Microsoft. You can also run the DirectX Diagnostic Tool (dxdiag) to check for issues.
4. Windows System File Corruption
Cause: Corrupted or missing Windows system files, including dxgmms2.sys, can also cause the error.
Solution: Run System File Checker (SFC) or DISM to repair corrupt system files. You can do this by opening Command Prompt as an administrator and running sfc /scannow.
