Windows 10: Multiple BSODs every day. Laptop.

HP laptop - multiple BSODs

I have an HP Pavilion 15-cs0021na, (Intel i3, 8GB, 128GB SSD) running Windows 10 Home, which exhibits the following characteristics:

• On startup, occasionally completes boot, but within 5 minutes, BSODs. with a random error, e.g. Page Fault, IRQL not equal, Memory Management and so on.
• Repeated attempts to reboot then fail with more random BSODs
• Rarely, it will attempt a Startup Repair – which will invariably fail with another BSOD.
• Wiping the hard disk and attempting to install a clean version of the OS (downloaded from Microsoft using Media Creation Tool to USB stick) will get a little way into the process, then fail with BSOD as above.

What I’ve done:

• Attempted clean install as above.
• Run multiple hardware tests on Memory and SSD - HP’s built-in tests, Memtest86, Seagate disk tools. All tests pass with no errors.
• Updated BIOS from Insyde F.04 to F.22 (HP supplied).
• Repeated clean install, same result.

I have now run out of ideas, and am at a loss to understand what is causing these errors. How are BSODs generated if no Windows installation is present? Is it likely that a hardware component other than RAM or the SSD is causing these?

Any and all suggestions will be much appreciated.

 

Multiple similar BSODs every day at random intervals.

I will break this post up into sections for easy digestion. The "culprits" of the crashes, the errors they cause, the steps I've taken to try to figure it out or fix it, and my system specs. Any information or help that can be provided will be greatly appreciated!

Multiple times a day, every day the following two items cause my Laptop to either simply crash and restart with no error screen or message given, or I do get the dreaded blue screen before it restarts. There is no discernible reason for the crashes. They will happen when the system is idle on the desktop with nothing else really running, when it is under heavy load, or even just when browsing the web. When I get the crashes in which no actually BSOD appears (yet a minidump is still created,) typically my screen either freezes or turns black and the sound through my headset just becomes a loud buzzing noise until the system restarts. Sometimes, the screen will turn black except for numerous red, green, and white pixels in various patterns at different locations on the screen. When it comes to the Minidumps though, Whocrashed said the "culprits" are as follows but with no specific information about why:

1. ntkrnlmp.exe
2. ntoskrnl.exe
3. hardware.sys

When I do get an actual BSOD with an error code, I've received all of the following as a result, the actual error varies but it seems to be getting worse. This is the order in which they have ever appeared:

1. IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
2. KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
3. ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY (Received only on one occasion)
4. SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
5. KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE

I am at wits end attempting to figure out what specifically is causing this. Here are the steps I have taken thus far to try to discern the cause and remedy the crashes:

1. Ran Chkdsk /f /r -- No issues found at all.
   [*] Ran DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth -- Preemptive step to SFC
   [*] Ran SFC /Scannow -- No issues found at all.
   [*] Ran Memtest 86 through all possible tests with four passes each. -- No Errors found at all.
   [*] Ran Lenovo Diagnostics Full Test for two hours -- No issues found, everything passed.
   [*] Cleaned out fans and internals. -- Temperatures are average and stable.
   [*] Updated and reinstalled as many drivers as I could for things such as chipset, GPU, etc.
   [*] Updated BIOS.
   [*] Used Windows 10 Home 64 USB media to repair Windows 10 installation

The laptop I am using is a Lenovo Legion 5 15ARH05H and my system specifications are as follows:

1. Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64-bit (Version 22H2, OS Build 19045.2546)
   [*]CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 4800H
   [*]RAM: DDR4 16GB (2x8GB) Dual-Channel Kingston @ 3200MHz (22-22-22-52)
   [*]Motherboard: LENOVO LNVNB161216 (FP6)
   [*]GPU: 6GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti (Lenovo)
   [*]Storage: 1TB Samsung SSD 980 NVMe
   [*]Audio: Sound Blaster Play! 3 USB sound card

I was considering running driver verifier next but have heard it can brick your PC on rare occasions, so have refrained from doing that thus far. I have also considered reformatting but would like to use that only as a last ditch effort.

I have linked v2 logs from two different sets of crash dumps (some older crashes from earlier this week I had saved and the most recent ones) for your convenience. Unfortunately the zip was a bit too large to use the attachment method on the forum. Thank you for any help any of you can provide!

Various BSOD Errors Help

Hey all,

I've received multiple BSOD errors the past 2 days after rebuilding my PC. I've been trying to figure out the issue.

These are the few BSOD messages I remember seeing:

• DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION (multiple times)
• CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED (one time)
• IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (one time)
• WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR (multiple times)

Here's a link to the dmp files and system information: WindowsIssue

Steps I've taken:

• fully updated drivers
• applied all Windows updates
• Removed unnecessary hardware
• Monitored CPU/GPU temps (log file on temps during last crash in share)

Any help would be appreciated.
