Seemingly random BSODs

These crashes were related to memory corruption (probably caused by a driver).

Please run these two tests to verify your memory and find which driver is causing the problem. Please run verifier first. You do not need to run memtest yet unless verifier does not find the cause, or you want to.

If you are over-clocking anything reset to default before running these tests.
In other words STOP!!! If you do not know what this means you probably are not






1-Driver verifier (for complete directions see our wiki here)

2-Memtest. (You can read more about running memtest here)

 

Hello and welcome to TenForums *Smile

The ETD.sys is a driver file for your smartpad which you can see from the code below is dated Sept 2015. If possible, use the manufacturer's website to update the driver:

Your system specs do not reveal very much - please update them in your profile.[/quote] I updated my system specs to the best of my knowledge, with regards to my driver problem, i used the device manager to search for new drives for the elan smart pad but it said i had the latest one, then i searched the internet and could not find any drives for download on the elantech website, so im kind of lost on what to do to fix my problem.

 

I noticed that your W10 has not updated to the latest Ver 1607. If you wanted to see if this makes any difference you could try and update by manually doing it from the following link. The upgrade can take over an hour and involves several restarts of your system.

 

I have updated windows 10 hopefully it fixes the problem, thanks for the help
