  1. Infrequent BSOD Errors when PC Is Idle


    Hi, for the past six months or so I have been experiencing infrequent BSOD errors when I've left my PC idle on the log-in screen or when logged in. I've already ran SFCs, MemTests and so on and have not been able to find the issue.The driver in question is always ntoskrnl.exe with either a IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL or SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION.I've attached the three latest dump files here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SG8dRSUiK83eiJK-tAoIqMXfY9pXRt_9/view?usp=sharingAny assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    :)

    Troubleshooting idle problems with no errors

    I need help troubleshooting my Windows 10 Home PC. I have problems with it only when it idles. The problems are intermittent and hard to troubleshoot. Sometimes it will lock up after being idle for a while. Sometimes it won't lock up but the screen will
    not power off. Sometimes it behaves perfectly fine. There are no errors in the Event log, BSODs or memory dumps.

    I have tried:

    • Reinstalling Windows from image
    • Updating all of my drivers
    • Scanning for viruses and other malware
    • Scanning and defragging hard drives
    • Turning off most of my power saving settings
    • Scanning for memory and other hard defects
    • Stress testing for heat related problems

    I am at a loss at this point. It is very annoying to constantly have to hard boot my PC if I step away for too long.

    What else can I try?

    PC reboots (no BSOD) on CPU stress

    Hi fellow TPU members,

    not too long ago, the box my gf's PC was transported in gave way on the stairs. Yes, you got it right, that sent a PC tumbling down a flight of steps alright.

    Stuff broke. Also, stuff remained intact somehow.

    I bought her a new case, new CPU cooler and we removed the floppy drive, so far so good. But the PC started crashing for no apparent reason, without a BSOD.

    I tested:
    • Memtest86+, left overnight, 0 errors
    • Scanned the HDD for errors, nothing there
    • Left FurMark burning up the GFX card and drawing some power, no problems there
    • Ran Ubuntu from a Live CD doing nothing special, didn't crash
    • Ran OCCT, Linpack, Prime95, all 3 caused reboots within minutes
    • Oh, and I disabled "Restart on error" so I'm sure it's not a BSOD.
    Now, I can still try and test something CPU intensive on Ubuntu, but my guess is the CPU didn't survive.
    Before I do anything drastic like whippin' out the magic wallet and get her a new AMD quad, is there anything I didn't see?
    I'm guessing the motherboard could be borkered as well, but can I check that other than replacing the CPU with a working one?
    Any suggestions on which proggies I can use from an Ubuntu Live CD to stress the CPU?
