Windows 10: BSOD - system freezes on start-up

Hello Windows 10 forum experts,
I'm an old buzzard (last year of the draft) and not very tech literate, sorry. I hope I'm doing this correctly.

I recently did the free upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 on my desk-top computer.
Now, when I turn on my desk-top the system starts to load, but then it will just stop!

Sometimes the start-up screen will make it as far as displaying a several of the circling dots, but frozen, below the blue Windows logo and sometimes it's only one frozen circling dot. I've waited thru a couple of cups of coffee to see if anything happens, but nothing ever does. So, I depress and hold the power button down to turn off the computer. Then, I'll turn the computer back on and the operating system will load! This gets to be rather annoying.

So, if I have followed instructions correctly, I have attached the correct zip file to help with the diagnosis of this annoyance.

Thank you for your support and please let me know if I've screwed something up!

:)

 

BSOD - various

system information & last 3 minidumps can be found here:

20160807.zip

I recently had a fair bit of flakiness on my hpdv7 laptop. 'Flakiness' includes BSOD & freeze-ups. I find no consistency regarding when they occur. Sometimes, the occur right after I get logged in. Other times the computer can be running for hours, but
when the computer is relatively idle.

I've run sfc /scannow and it reports finding no problems.

The most recent BSOD was a DRIVER_OVERRAN_STACK_BUFFER. Unfortunately there is no minidump for this BSOD since the system froze creating the dump.

Prior to that I had a System Exception FLTMGR.SYS BSOD.

Any advice on how to fix this would be appreciated. I'd like to do an update to Win10 1607, but I'm hesitant to do an update with the system behaving so poorly. I don't know how a BSOD or freeze in the midst of an update would effect the system.

Thanks.

 

Computer stuck in reboot loop after BSOD error 'Critical Process Died'

My computer just started displaying the "Critical Process Died" BSOD. It is a HP Pavilion which previously ran Windows 7, but has been updated to Windows 10. It has been running fine, and just recently the desktop and taskbar started freezing up. I restarted
it, but it stuck on the "Restarting" screen, and never restarted. I ended up doing a hard reboot. When I turned it on, the BSOD was being displayed, but the percentage never made any progress after hours of waiting. Any way to fix this?

Hi Scoots,

Welcome to the 10forums.

When exactly did you perform the upgrade?
There is only 1 dump file, from last month.

I don't think that this is related to bluescreens?

 

I believe the upgrade was done 2 weeks ago.
Thanks

 

Please create a new thread at Performance and Maintenance, this is most likely a perfomance issue.
