Windows 10: BSOD Windows 10 on Asus UX430UA

Hi everyone,


I am using an Asus UX430UA laptop i5 8250U, 8GB, UHD 620. Recently, I've encountered a lot of blue screen on my laptop. I would be very appreciated if someone could help me with this problem.


I usually left my laptop sleeping on the table. But sometimes, after I wake it up, all of my apps are gone. I checked the Event Viewer and the Dump files with WhoCrashed, and it seems like the laptop have a blue-screen error while it was sleeping, so it has to reboot.


The recent errors are:

- MEMORY_MANAGEMENT ntoskrnl.exe, ntkrnlmp.exe.

- PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA dxgkrnl.sys

- SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED intcdaud.sys.


I thought this was a overheating issue. But even if I only left 1-2 app open while sleeping, the problem still reappear.


WhoCrashed said that this might be caused by buggy driver, faulty RAM or overheating, so I am not sure what to do next. What should I do to fix this issue? Thank you very much.

:)

 

Laptop for general use - ASUS UX430UA or Lenovo Flex 5?

Looking to get a new laptop in the coming days/weeks. This will be a general use laptop and I don't plan to play games on it. Price range is around $700-800. Looking for build quality, an SSD, good battery life and some upgradability (battery replacement and SSD upgrades). I know you can't expect a top of the line laptop for this price but I'm trying to balance these aspects as best as possible.

So far I have found the Lenovo Flex 5 14" 81C9000DUS in this price range:

And the ASUS Zenbook UX430UA 14" with the following specs:

• 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7-7500U Dual-Core
• 8GB DDR4 RAM | 256GB M.2 SSD
• 14" 1920 x 1080 Anti-Glare Display
• Built-In Fingerprint Reader
• Integrated Intel HD Graphics 620
• SD/MMC Media Card Reader
• 802.11ac Dual-Band Wi-Fi | Bluetooth 4.1
• USB Type-C | USB 3.0 | Micro HDMI
• ASUS Nano Bezel Design
• Windows 10 Home (64-Bit)

After some searching I can find these two for $750 and about $800 respectively. Does anyone have any input on which of these would be a better choice?

Or if you have any other model/brand suggestions I'd be happy to hear them.
