    Daily BSOD, unable to figure out what is causing it


    Hello!For quite awhile now I have been getting the BSOD daily, sometimes 3-4 times a day seemingly at random. It almost always happens when I'm not actively using the computer, such as playing gamesBUGCHECK ANALYSISCopyUNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP 7fThis means a trap occurred in kernel mode, and it's a trap of a kindthat the kernel isn't allowed to have/catch bound trap or thatis always instant death double fault. The first number in theBugCheck params is the number of the trap 8 = double fault, etcConsult an Intel x86 family manual to learn more about what thesetraps are.

    Daily BSOD and i cant figure out the cause

    Hi everyone

    I am running Win 10 on my desktop. Specs are:

    MB: Gigabyte AX370 Gaming 3

    GPU: GeForce GTX 1060 3 GB

    CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 (6core)

    RAM: 2x8 GB

    The lead up to my problem is that i had a BSOD event twice. A friend of mine suggested it could be a RAM problem and I tried reseating and cleaning dust off the RAM sticks. This seemed to really mess up my PC and i couldnt get it to run properly again. I then
    tried them individually and in each RAM slot. No luck. I reinstalled windows and it seemed to sort everything out, but im still having almost daily BSOD.

    - I have run windows memory diagnostic tool - no issues

    - I ran memtest86 - no issues

    - I ran SFC scan - no issues

    - I ran DISM - no issues

    - ive tried uninstalling my Nvidia drivers and reinstalling the most up to date ones - no fix.

    The error codes I am getting from BlueScreenView are telling me the following drivers are causing the crashes;

    ntoskrnl.exe (most of the crashes)

    storahci.sys

    storport.sys

    dxgkrnl.sys

    can anyone suggest what i need to check next, or what might i do to try and fix this ?

    Thanks

  3. How to figure out what is causing Windows 11 BugChecks

    In the last few days my Windows 11 system has started to crash on a regular basis, and with various different BugCheck codes displayed on the BSOD, including:

    • SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
    • PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
    • IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
    I have exported the BugCheck entries from the System event log, and have copied and zipped a couple of MEMORY.DMP files, but I have no idea how to figure out what is causing the crashes.

    Any suggestions are very welcome!

    Thanks

  4. Daily BSOD, unable to figure out what is causing it

    BSOD DPC_Watchdog_Violation daily

    Those steps are not relevant to me. In those steps it asks to check the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers for iastore.sys in the listed drivers.

    I do not have iastore as a driver nor is that the files causing the BSOD.

    The driver that is causing it (I got this from BlueScreenView) is nvstore.sys which is listed as the driver for three identical items in 'storage controllers' There are 4 items there. 3 of them are called NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA Controller. Those three
    all list this nvstore.sys as their driver.

    I suspect that if I could replace or fix that driver it would solve the issue based on the advice given by Annanya. Does that sound right? If so, how would I go about it?
