Windows 10: I've been getting bluescreens everytime there's a windows update

So I've been having this problem for longer than a year now.


usually after a windows update, my computer will start getting bluescreens.


Mostly it only occurs when I'm playing a 3D game or using a video editing software (I think it happens when I'm using any programmes that use the GPU). the screen and sound freeze for a few seconds then I get a blue screen with the MACHINE_CHECK_ERROR stop code.

also sometimes after an update, I just get random bluescreens with the REFERENCE_BY_POINTER message. this happens no matter what I am doing.


I've posted here about this question before,

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...-details/16dbfa39-0bdf-4f38-bb01-db0c43a4c632


till now I've solved the problem with a lot of different methods like running SFC scans, roll back the driver and reinstalling windows 10, but every time there's an update the problem comes back. also, the SFC scan always tells me that it found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.

uninstalling updates usually fixs the problems, but it's quite pointless since they will quickly reinstall them self or simply be uninstallable.


So last time I've been told that there's mostly a problem with my graphics driver, but I've tried so many methods and the problem always comes back.

it affects my work schedule a lot and it's been very annoying. is there a way to just fix it once and for all?

Bluescreen during Windows 10 installation


Thank you for your reply!

Sadly I don't think the problem is the same. The guy was having problems seeing his RAID volume, I believe Windows would be able to see mine if I only could load the driver or refresh the drive list, only everytime I do so I get the bluescreen.

I just thought that I should try a different USB key. I have a 2.0 key where I'm using a 3.0 key right now.

But thank you for reading, I know it is a long post.

Any other suggestions are welcome!

 

Intel E5200 Gets Updated, R0 Stepping Coming Up

Intel's Pentium Dual-Core E5200 processor is getting on course for a specifications update. The chip will feature in a new, improved Wolfdale-2M core, spec'd out as the R0 stepping, from its current M0 stepping. The new stepping is intended to add new instructions, power-management features, and bring about changes in the chip-package. A short list of known changes is as follows:

• CPUID changed from 10677 to 1067A
• Power State Indicator (PSI) support with Intel 4 series chipsets
• New instructions - XSAVE and XRSTOR
• New S-spec and MM numbers
• New halide-free chip package

Due to the changed CPUID, users may require BIOS updates to detect the CPU. According to the company, E5200 R0 should be out by April 13.

bluescreen

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community.

I understand that it can be frustrating for you when the computer shows bluescreen errors. Bluescreen errors are usually caused due to faulty hardware or drivers. We will try to narrow down the cause of the issue by performing a few steps.

1. Do you get bluescreen errors randomly or while performing any specific actions such as playing a game or running any particular application?
   
2. Do you see any error code along with the message “DRIVERS POWER STATE FAILURE”?
   
3. Are there any external devices connected to your computer?
   

The usual causes for bluescreen errors are Graphic card drivers and Network adapter drivers. We can go ahead and try to update the drivers.

Refer the article Update drivers in Windows 10 on how to update Graphic card
and Network drivers.

You may also refer the article Troubleshoot blue screen errors
for additional troubleshooting steps to fix the issue.

You can reply to this post if you need further assistance

Hope it helps.
