Windows 10: KB1000347 update causing PC to suddenly freeze and shutdown-sometimes BsoD

I have been facing this issue for a very long time and managed to fix by randomly deleting updates. I am a i5 2400 user and updated drivers for AHCI as stated in numerous topics in forums causing WATCHDOG_VIOLATION errors. My computer would suddenly completely freeze for a very long time and then either in variation unfreeze or give this BsoD WATCHDOG error. I did not want to disable the windows updates illegaly. But if it would start freezes again I would see this KB1000347 is installed and I would just go ahead and uninstall it and in turns back to comppletely normal after a restart. I have proven this many times just to be sure. This final spectre update is what causing my issues. Has anyone faced similar issue?

BSOD and freezing

Yesterday I started up my laptop from hibernating and it freezes, after restarting several times I get a BSOD which freezed on the BSOD one time.
After restarting again the laptop freezed at the Welcome screen.
I have had the freezing before, it was gone for about 2 months.
I did not install any new hardware.
Now it seems to run fine again.

But what is causing the freezing and the BSOD?
I bought this laptop last January.

 

New Homebuild freezing and BSOD

So you are saying a PSU can never cause a computer to Freeze/BSOD...???

 

Numerous problems including BSOD at startup and freezes

Hi forum,

This has been an ongoing issue for months, and I cannot find out its cause. It has been happening ever since I upgraded the components below:

• Intel Core i5-7600
• Asus Prime B250-Plus Motherboard
• Seagate Barracuda, 2TB HDD
• 2x Crucial CT2K4G4DFS824A 4GB DDR4 RAM

My first thread was on Tom's Hardware forum when my PC started to show me a BSOD at startup.

As MemTest did not show any RAM errors, I made another thread which seems to have disappeared ever since. A kind member helped me out and was under the impression an unknown driver was causing errors.

It isn't just the BSOD at startup what's wrong with my PC now, so here is a list:

• BSOD at startup, sometimes 2-3 before a correct boot
• Unable to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 (minor issue, but I think linked to the bigger picture)
• Random freezing:
  • Does not seem to have a cause
  • Seems to last less long (10 mins) on (visually?) less intensive programs, such as a browser or a small game
  • Sound keeps running (YouTube video plays all the way through, though screen is frozen, game audio is stuck in a ~10 second loop)
  • I wait it out now, when the PC unfreezes usually all applications are suddenly closed
  • When going through the BIOS it froze as well
  • A restart helps momentarily but the PC will freeze again. Waiting out the freeze will usually not cause another freeze
• Steam suddenly thought two games were no longer installed, but when I tried to reinstall it found all game files
• Windows is now unable to install an update (error code 0x80073712). It says some files needed by Windows Update are damaged or missing
• Unable to do a clean reinstall of Windows 10 ("There was a problem resetting your PC: no changes were made")
• PC games have become hard to play recently because of short freezes of <0.5 seconds (sometimes longer). These are more likely to happen when shots/explosions happen, or when my character spawns.
• I have tried to fix the BOSD by reinstalling my PC twice. Note that with these reinstalls my HDD was untouched (C: is on my SSD)

I am not a PC expert, but I would think that these issues are linked to a failing disk drive.

I really do hope you could help me out, as you can imagine the pain it is to work with my PC now.

Cheers!
