    Irregular BSODs for many months.


    I bought this computer 2nd hand from eBay at the start of this year. When I got it, my cousin installed DriverPack in my computer and when while updating some drivers, it crashed for the first time.
    Since then I've tried various things to try and find out the problem. Here is the list in chronological order.

    • The usual google advices. Updated my drivers via windows, dell website, manually and even driver softwares. Also, a lot of commands to enter in Powershell.
    • Did a memtest. Since I have a 32GB ram, it took a long time, but it passed once.
    • Did a clean installation
    • Kept the entire computer in safe mode for more than 48 hours. Did not crash.
    • Finally formatted the computer a month back. Waited 2 days before I installed the first software (Chrome). Drivers were automatically installed. Crashed after another 24 hours.

    A few notes about the crashes.
    • They are irregular. They can happen anywhere from once every day to once every 3 days. Once it didn't crash for more than a week.
    • The usual errors are 'Critical process died' and 'Unexpected Store Exception'. Only once did I get a 'Driver state failure' and very rarely 'System Service Exception'.
    • 98% of the time, they don't create a dump file. The Blue screen appears for a second and then the computer restarts. I've disabled auto-restart once and it was just stuck in the blue screen until I force restarted it.
    • I've checked with WhoCrashed and triggered a crash to see if the system is incapable of creating a dump file. I wasn't. It created a dump file just fine in that scenario. Only 'Critical process...' and 'Unexpected...' fails to create a dump file.
    • It comes randomly. I don't have to be doing anything. PC could be idle, I could be browsing, playing a game, watching a movie, etc. No particular behavior triggers it.

    I can understand if it is a hardware issue. But I want to be sure. I want evidence of whatever is causing it so I can then move forward in fixing/replacing it.

    :)

    Irregular BSOD's

    I'm getting irregular BSOD's during regular use of my PC. I can't relate it to anything I'm doing and I get many different error codes.

    I have run the Driver Verifier, and after disabling it with verifier /reset my system won't boot (It is disabled, I've checked with verifier /query and it lists nothing). Posting from Safe Mode w/ networking.

    My DMP files from the last 4 crashes are here along with my msinfo:

    Dropbox - Link not found

    Not sure what to do from here

    Longtime irregular BSODs


    Thanks for reply. Ok, so I did following steps:

    1) droidcam drivers: I uninstalled the program. I was using it scarcely.
    2) semav6msr64 driver: Google search revealed that it was installed by Intel Driver Update utility so I uninstalled it.
    3) Acronis backup program: I did uninstall it as I wanted to try some alternative (installed AOMEI Backupper Standard).
    4) ESET AV: Updated to latest version(v10).

    After these steps I used DDU to uninstall GPU drivers and installed latest drivers(v376.09). So now I just have to wait to see if BSOD comes back which can last a few weeks to month. If BSOD comes back, I'll write again to this thread.

    Again, thanks for your help.

    Intermittent BSOD that I Can't Diagnose


    I have a custom build with the specs listed on my account. In brief, I get 1 of 2 BSOD errors several times a day but I can't seem to establish steps to reproduce. It's irregular and doesn't appear to correspond to any particular applications that I'm running. Blue Screen View shows 2 other BSOD events that are the result of running `verifier`. I had to restore to my environment from yesterday due to the BSOD loop it caused.
    System and user background: I'm a long time Linux/OS X user who recently switched. I've been running OS X and Linux on this exact hardware for months with no issues of any kind. Windows is on its own SSD and is a clean install. All the tests I've run in every OS (including Windows) have indicated no hardware errors. This includes RAM, SSD, GPU tests and more. I'm at a loss.
