Windows 10: Frequent BSODs + Abnormal memory usage

My computer has been acting weird for the past 2 months. I think it started after I installed a driver for an xbox one controller, but I am not sure if I am remembering correctly.

Anyway, when I use my computer for prolonged periods of time, the memory usage tends to near 100% even if I am not really using any programs. When I open task manager it is clear that the memory being used does not add up to the 8gb of ram that is available. Usually this would result in a BSOD if I did not reset my computer. This is an example of my task manager after prolonged PC use wtf memory.

Also I think the BSOD error message was system_service_exemption, not 100% sure of this though.


Starting today, however, it seems as if my computer is starting to BSOD every couple of hours.

Attached are my dump files, also my specs should be listed in my profile

I have run Malware/virus scans in the past but nothing has turned up.

Any insight or input would be greatly appreciated. Just let me know if you need anymore information.

Are you using an ethernet cable or wireless to connect your computer to the router? An ethernet cable connection is faster and more reliable for large downloads. An ethernet cable is an inexpensive purchase.

Connect to a mains electricity supply if your computer is a laptop.

Disable your anti-virus and firewall whilst upgrading.

I suggest you download the Windows 10 Media creation tool ISO and do an In-place upgrade.

Hi Merp,

Welcome to the 10forums.

The causes of the crashes are 2 drivers, 1 from AMD and 1 from Razer.

AMD:
Try to remove the Catalyst Control Center and only install the driver.

Hey axe0, thanks for responding!

I went ahead and uninstalled both Razer and Catalyst control center. However, I'm not really sure how to install just the driver because I think Catalyst is coupled with the driver.

I'm gonna keep looking around to find a driver download, but I'll let definitely keep you posted on whether or not this resolves the issue.

 

Hi Merp,

Usually when installing something from AMD you can choose to install everything or only install what you want.

 

When I go to the AMD driver download page (Download Drivers) and select my driver, it takes me to http://support.amd.com/en-us/downloa...indows+10+-+64, and the only option is to install the Catalyst software suite.

Should I go ahead and do it, or download something else?

Thanks!

 

Go ahead, if it is indeed windows 10 supported.

 

Alright, I installed it. You were right though, I was able to install without the control center.

I'll let you know if my problems are resolved, thanks axe0.
