Windows 10: BSODs continue after clean install - hardware?

scallionking · Apr 8, 2017

Hello,
I previously posted here regarding a variety of BSODs I was getting on my machine which included various stop codes:

usbohci.sys

faulty hardware corrupted page

kernel security check failure

memory management

After trying a bunch of things (including some good suggestions from the forum), I gave up and did a clean Win10 install. To be clear, this was a disk format, followed by a fresh/clean install using the Windows 10 .iso image from Microsoft. This is a new thread because I re-installed Windows 10.
To my astonishment, within a day of the clean install, I already got a BSOD, this time saying "Stop Code: Memory Management". This happened as soon as I woke the machine up from idle sleep. Starting to wonder if I have hardware issues. I have installed minimal things beyond the fresh windows copy, including latest Radeon video drivers, but I don't think that's it. I've run the memcheck and diskcheck utility a bunch of times, with no problems indicated. Welcome everyone's thoughts, and thank you again!

:)

DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

I have tried the driver verification method and it continuously in loop and got even worse and the bsod didn't even let it to verify it. somehow I got the restore to previous stage and bsod continued to for two days and now I don't even see a bsod after
I cleaned my pc with AVG.

Storport.sys, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL BSODs, KMODE_EXCEPTION BSODs, and DPC_WATCHDOG BSODs on Windows 10.

Unfortunately, the disk swap was not as successful as I originally thought, and the BSODs have returned (same set - IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (storport.sys), and KERNAL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE). I have performed in-place updates,
as well as clean installs. I had found that Avast! Anti-virus could cause these exact BSODs, and have removed it. The BSODs continue. Time after time, it comes back to a faulting storport!StorportTimerDpc as the primary culprit.

Thoughts?

Code: 0x0000001A: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT (9.04.2017 18:10:58) [Windows 10] CAUSED BY: memory_corruption PROCESS: LockApp.exe Usual causes: Device driver, memory, kernel[/quote]
Since like u said, there were different bugcheck codes,

The cause for different error codes are usually hardware and lower level problems.

U should begin with memtest, running 8 passes:

Diagnostic Test

RAM TEST

Run MemTest86+ - Test RAM - Windows 10 Forums

Note MemTest86+ needs to be run for at least 8 complete passes for conclusive results. Set it running before you go to bed and leave it overnight. We're looking for zero errors here. Even a single error will indicate RAM failure.

Make a photo of the result and post it.
