Windows 10: BSOD and I think Defender is the problem. Can someone confirm?

No one has a SSD drive similar to mine.

 

What about a regular drive then? Slower but for test purposes worth a try. You can use Macrium Reflect Free to clone your SSD to the other drive then remove disconnect the SSD and boot from the other drive.

 

Let me see if I can get an external drive and boot it from there. My laptop is extremely think and only an SSD will fit in.

 

Ah, didn't consider thinness of the laptop. Booting from an external drive will be very slow compared to the internal SSD, probably totally unusable, rats.

See what SSDLife Free tells you about your SSD. I installed and ran it on mine and got this:

Windows keeps telling me that it is an application issue and not a hardware issue.

You can try using Clean Boot to eliminate many of the startup applications, see if that resolves the issue. If it does then you need to determine which one is the cause. Directions for doing this contained in this tutorial>

See here: How to Perform a Clean Boot in Windows 10 to Troubleshoot Software Conflicts

 

I did a clean boot just now. I will let you know how it goes.

 

After the clean boot and after enabling a bare minimum services to get my work done, the number of BSOD has reduced drastically. This is the most number of days it has run without crashing in a long while. Its crashed only once.

 

If it goes for a week with no BSOD then follow the instructions here:
Code:

I give up. After clean boot, the number of BSOD have greatly reduced, but they do happen at least once a week. But this I can live with.

 

What is the firmware version of your LIteon SSD.
Did you update the firmware when you were on your previous OS.

There is a firmwareupdate on the DELL supportsite see here (supports windows 7 and 8)http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/...driverId=P0T9J

I suspect that you also can use this one now you are on windows 10.

Check the precise model of your Liteon SSD,( i used the one given by @Ztruker in a previous post)

 

With Windows 10, I see that Microsoft has a driver for it. I see that it is using a Microsoft driver.

I did not see any hardware issue. After windows was patched recently, the number of BSOD reduced, but I still get those periodically. One observation is that

• I RDP to this computer from a different one
• I close the lid and open it and start using without a restarting OS

I consistently get BSOD very soon. Not sure why.
