Windows 10: BSOD I need someone to confirm my suspicion.

Hi, Ive been going through this endless BSOD issue with my samsung laptop for about 8 months now thanks to amazing warranty and customer care provided from Bestbuy and Samsung. Left it for months and finally picked it back up to fix and to save some money.


The Issue im having is literally endless and frequent BSOD. It wasnt as bad before but now using about 0~5 minutes in, it crashes. The error messages are as followed: "Critical_Process_Died" , "Kernal_Data_Inpage_Error" , and "System_Service_Exception".


After days of learning, searching, researching as Im new in this area, I got to encounter some of the diagnosis.


I defintely formatted this multiple times and that didnt help.



I ran virus check and it was clean, obviously bc i formatted it.


Focused on kernal data inpage error solution and realized it could be from bad sectors or the physical HDD/RAM.


I have first tried windows event viewer to realize Distributed COM was mainly causing the crashes with the Event ID 10016. Which i was not too sure what it meant and couldnt find.


So i moved on to use cmd and used "chkdsk C: /f /r" to see if i can located bad sectors and hopefully it fixes it by itself. On stage 4, it gave me an error that says "The disc does not have enough space to replace bad clusters"

-> this made me want to believe that the HDD has failed. If its other systemical issue or the Ram issue it would be way more difficult +Ram is soldered and i will need to replace the entire motherboard which I have never done and is way more expensive.


I have found the compatible HDD for my laptop and I am a step away from ordering it. Am I in the right track to do this?


Tl;dr

Would an error message from chkdsk enough for me to conclude that it is the faulty HDD that causes endless and more frequent than before BSOD?


I really have no access to other people who have knowledge about this stuff to discuss about the issue. I really need an advice. Thanks.

I need help asap. Spyhunter says my lenovo keyboard program is a trojan.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions, I assumed it was just a false detection. Also I scanned with avg and malwarebytes and they both came clean is that sufficient or do i need to further scan my pc with the anti programs listed in the links ?

In Need Of Diagnostic Help Please

You will actually need an external HDD Storage device to check the HDD's on your laptop.

As to your motherboard suspicion, I confirm my suspicion as well. Twice I have had same symptoms as you, and it has both times been the voltage return on the motherboard.

Since you've tested/eliminated the PSU and the RAM My suggestion is to try a different PSU if you can borrow one, and try the RAM one at a time (I didn't see that you tested it that way).
