Windows 10: Many critical errors, low reliability index, seemingly random crashes. Please help...

Hi all,I am having persistent unexplained at least, I don't understand them crashes and reboots. It seems to happen most when I am playing games, especially downloading/ installing a game or playing multiplayer. Today, I had an unexplained crash and someone in another forum suggested looking at the reliability monitor. My PC is hovering between 1 and 3, and today I have a ton of critical events of "Microsoft Windows Operating System Stopped Working." I assume this means I might have to start from zero and reinstall Windows, but looking for input before I do that. I have already run sfc /scan

:)

 

Help diagnosing seemingly random WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR crash

Hello and thank you for your message!

Just as an fyi, I've been using Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool to reliably crash my computer. As I mentioned, it's pretty random as to when I would get this error, but this was the only way I could reach the blue screen every time. To test each fix method, I ran this test tool and checked if it crashes my PC.



I've tried the following:

1. Checked the physical hardware
   
2. Updated all hardware drivers
   
3. Ran Memtest86 over night
   
4. Installed latest windows update
   
5. Ran windows 11 disk check on all drives
   
6. Disable overclocking (never enabled it)
   
7. Clean boot PC
   

There was no change with any of the fixes except for the last one. After performing a clean boot, my PC wouldn't crash when running the Intel test tool. I slowly started enabling services to track down the culprit, but I couldn't find it. Interestingly enough, I enabled all of my services and startup settings back to the way they were before and the tool doesn't crash my PC anymore. I guess this worked?

Of course, I still don't know what was causing the crash. I also can't make sense of the BlueScreenView details really. It seems like the source of the crash was from ntoskrnl.exe or the PSHED.dll file. Any advice or insight on these files and the reason they'd cause my system to crash would be greatly appreciated.

With that being said, I'll come back to this thread if I do crash again in the future with the same error. Thank you!

 

Seemingly Random BSoD

Hello,

I bought a Laptop about six months ago, and immediatly expirienced crashes. They happen seemingly at random. No matter what I'm doing, and the error on the BSoD has given a variaty of reasons over the months. I've done two or three clean installs of windows
10 and try to keep all my drivers updated. Althrough, I do this through via a program - DriverEasy.

Hope you can help.

 

Creators Foreground.wav-Critical-Stop beeps every few sec. Event 10.

You may be able to find what's causing this to be generated using Sysinternals ProcMon (from MS)

E.g.
windows - Critical Error sound playing at seemingly random intervals for seemingly no reason - Super User

You can also try a basic process of elimination.
Does it occur if you do a clean boot, for example?

Try noting the precise time it occurs, then see if you can correlate that with your event log.
