  1. BSOD, possible hardware malfunction causing issue?


    Over the past week or two my PC has been seemingly restarting at random due to various BSOD's. After uninstalling a Nord VPN a few days ago it has happened much less frequently. It has gone down from 3 times a day to happening only once or possibly twice since then. I say possibly because if I did get another BSOD, my system didn't save it, there for I cannot be sure.Here is the zipped version of the most recent minidump file after I uninstalled Nord VPN: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hrt6zjy9ql6c9pr/082421-14765-01.zip?dl=0These are the other minidumps that my system saved before uninstalling Nor

    BSOD Hardware Caused???

    they do weird things like that, which all seem like something else is failing.
    One of the worst things to diagnose, they seem to only quit when they want to.

    Memtest is a good next step, if you rule out RAM and Power Supply make sure you disconnect all unnecessary peripherals and try to start the system with as little hardware as possible, if it works then, you can narrow down the culprit by trial and error.

    the follow was taken from some website:

    It's very difficult to determine if a failure is caused by the CPU because many other components can cause the same symptom when they fail.

    1. System fails to boot
    2. System re-boots intermittently
    3. General Protection Fault
    4. Illegal Operation
    5. Stop Error, or BSoD (Blue Screen OfDeath)

    Actually, CPUs rarely fail, and about the only way to determine if the CPU is causing the failure is to swap it out with a known working CPU of the same type and speed. Since this is difficult, the best bet is to first rule out every other possibility.

    Before suspecting the CPU, rule out all the possibilities listed below.

    1. The Operating System
    2. A peripheral port device
    3. A bad memory module
    4. The hard disk drive
    5. The power supply
    6. The motherboard

    If you have ruled out out all the other possibilities, investigate the items listed below.

    1. Overheating
    2. A short circuit
    3. ESD

    BSOD Hardware Caused???

    It is not overheating - CPU runs 60*C in games.
    Short Circuit - EXTREAMLY UNLIKELY

    BSOD, possible hardware malfunction causing issue?

    BSOD when updating W10 Insider Preview (installation)

    The BSOD minidump did not display a definitive misbehaving driver.
    All of the BSOD have been C2 Bad pool caller.
    The suggested steps for finding cause and effect are RAM testing with Memtest86+ version 5.01 and Windows driver verifier.
    If the Memtest86+ version 5.01 displays malfunctioning RAM / DIMM /MB then the troubleshooting will be completed once the hardware component is identified. If the Memtest86+ version 5.01 is negative then the next step would be windows driver verifier.
    If you prefer a clean install that is another option if hardware is ruled out.

    The memory dump will take a while to download. So it will be troubleshooted later today.
