Hi there, this the list above is my current PC.
I have made multiple posts regarding my issues on reddit i've been having is the past few weeks looking for advice. [Post](Infrequent random bluescreens for a long period of time. : techsupport), [Post](Frequent BSOD I since found RAM Errors with previous RAM have now replaced it with new RAM but am having the same issues. : techsupport), [Post](Frequent BSOD I since found RAM Errors with previous RAM have now replaced it with new RAM but am having the same issues. Am at a loss of what to do. : buildapc), [Post](Build help, looking to possibly upgrade my PC. : buildapc)

**Main issue**

So for the Past 1.5 years with my current PC build I have been having intermittent to regular BSOD every day (although sometimes there would be days without a BSOD) In which there has been no apparent trigger.
I happens just as often if I am watching youtube videos with nothing else open or in a game, nothing I have done and worked out what is causing the crash.

Every BSOD will generally have a different error code. (Reference by pointer, Driver, overran stack buffer, Kernel stack locked at exit and more)

I have uploaded a copy of my DxDiag here (------------------ System Information ------------------ Time of this r - Pastebin.com)

My original components were a

• * (Asus MAXIMUS VIII RANGER) Motherboard
• * (G.SKILL Ripjaws V DDR4 2400 C15 2x8GB) Ram
• * (Corsair CX600) PSU

**Steps I have tried**

With previous RAM+Motherboard I tried lots of different BIOS settings, updated the bios, tried RAM in different slots and did lots of memory tests. Originally I used the in windows MemTest HCI as it was easier to use and it threw up errors with my RAM in every slot on the motherboard and in every configuration with different (less aggressive RAM timings). NOTE: I have never overclocked anything in my PC.
And talking to someone via reddit over 50 posts ([Here](Infrequent random bluescreens for a long period of time. : techsupport)) We concluded ahh must be the RAM is faulty.
I then purchased Corsair CMK16GX4M2A2666C16 Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) off Amazon and tried it again in the PC. The BSOD issue hadn't been fixed so I then ran a Memtest with MEMTEST86 on the USB and after 2 passes it gave no errors (So I assumed it wasn't the RAM anymore).

So after more posting and back and forth on Reddit I then tried a few other things. I have seated and re thermal pasted the CPU even though I have never had issues with temperatures.
So then with help of my next [post](Frequent BSOD I since found RAM Errors with previous RAM have now replaced it with new RAM but am having the same issues. Am at a loss of what to do. : buildapc)
I've run sector scans on all my drives, I've tried running it on the internal graphics with the GPU removed from the machine and it still BSOD. I've done intels diagnostic program, I've used samsungs magician to check the SSD.

It was suggested it was most likely to be the motherboard (with all the random BSOD messages if it isn't the RAM), so I bought a new motherboard (ASUS Prime Z270-P) and at the same time bought a new power supply incase it was due to a failing power supply. (Although am not as upset to have replaced this as upgraded to a gold rated modular instead of bronze non-modular)


So after replacing the Motherboard and PSU with new ones, I was still having the BSOD.
I then today have reinstalled Windows 10 from new and before I had any chance to install any other programs it blue screened same as before and has been doing the same later on with about 4-5 blue screens today already.

I have got a link to a google drive folder with my most recent BSOD dumps from today incase they can shed any light on anything. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1js...QfNh-n0aoRmjJJ



**What do I do now?**

So basically am having a bit of a nightmare at the moment am trying to juggle studying for Uni whilst trying to diagnose my PC which works perfectly 90% of the time and runs as though there are no issues in games etc. However the 10% of the time where it keeps BSOD is frustrating me to no end have put up with it for 1.5 years and now that I have been replacing and spending lots of money (£260) and countless hours unbuilding and rebuilding my PC and reinstalling windows twice, running countless Memtests going into the BIOS for hours etc etc etc I am still nowhere closer to fixing the issue. If anything I am downgrading my PC with worse components (motherboard) in hope to fix it and then not getting anywhere. I can't really afford to keep buying new components which I can't easily afford on a PC I didn't even want to "upgrade", was hoping not to have to change any components for years as it runs the stuff I do so well.




**What I'm looking for**

Absolutely any advice you might be able to offer me, any help and comments are greatly appreciated sorry for the long post but all these issues have been driving me insane!

I have attached the Beta DM log collector file here.
Also here is a link to my google drive with dmp logs that date from 17th December to 6th Jan 2019 before I replaced my Motherboard + PSU

Thanks a lot for any advice, .

Frequent BSOD's, possibly MB/GPU related

Have had frequent BSOD's for an extended period of time, which seem to be hardware related seeing as they have persisted through multiple OS installs as well as driver reinstalls. BSOD's occur when browsing online as well as when gaming, with visual artifacting
followed by BSOD when the GPU hits 70 degrees celsius in games, no pattern for BSOD's when browsing online. Error codes have often referred to drivers, page files, threads, many USB related errors, and general exceptions. A full list of dumps from the past
month have been compiled into the rar file available at the following link: http://1drv.ms/1Ri6XWx

Expecting to have to replace my motherboard or graphics card, just not sure which (or maybe both) is the issue. Memtest86 and Chkdsk showed no errors, and substituting RAM had no impact.

Thanks in Advance,

Tom Angus

 

x124 bsod several times a day

I uninstalled rapport

I still got the same bsod

I am inclined to buy a new MB This processer and MB with my liquid cooling has been running for years although I did have a problem earlier this year when the machine would not even go into the bios... I replaced the PSU with a better one

I wonder if the MB was the problem all along and the new PSU temporarily fixed it?

I would be grateful for any other ideas

 

Need Serious Help: How To Record Video of What is Done on my PC?


I suggest the following simple steps:

1. Set the autosave options in MS Office to a low value say 5 minutes.
2. Setup file history to autosave frequently - the shortest period is 5 mins
3. Install Macrium Reflect Free and configure it to do a daily incremental system backup

You should be well covered if you do the above to protect your key files.
