  1. Not sure what caused these BSODs?


    Last tuesday I had replaced my one 8 gb stick of RAM with 2 new 8 gb sticks of RAM. It was fine the first day, but the next day when shutting down I got a BSOD saying "EVENT TRACING FATAL ERROR". I was able to boot up and use my computer fine afterwards without any other BSODs. However, yesterday I updated my graphics card driver when a new driver update came out (NVIDIA driver through GeForce Experience), and after about 10 minutes I got another BSOD saying "SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED", but again I was able to boot up again just fine. I ran the system file checker and it found corrupted files that got fixed alongside using DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth, and it seems to be fine now (another sfc scan shows no problems) but I'm wondering what these BSODs were. Any help?

    BSOD Hardware Caused???

    they do weird things like that, which all seem like something else is failing.
    One of the worst things to diagnose, they seem to only quit when they want to.

    Memtest is a good next step, if you rule out RAM and Power Supply make sure you disconnect all unnecessary peripherals and try to start the system with as little hardware as possible, if it works then, you can narrow down the culprit by trial and error.

    the follow was taken from some website:

    It's very difficult to determine if a failure is caused by the CPU because many other components can cause the same symptom when they fail.

    1. System fails to boot
    2. System re-boots intermittently
    3. General Protection Fault
    4. Illegal Operation
    5. Stop Error, or BSoD (Blue Screen OfDeath)

    Actually, CPUs rarely fail, and about the only way to determine if the CPU is causing the failure is to swap it out with a known working CPU of the same type and speed. Since this is difficult, the best bet is to first rule out every other possibility.

    Before suspecting the CPU, rule out all the possibilities listed below.

    1. The Operating System
    2. A peripheral port device
    3. A bad memory module
    4. The hard disk drive
    5. The power supply
    6. The motherboard

    If you have ruled out out all the other possibilities, investigate the items listed below.

    1. Overheating
    2. A short circuit
    3. ESD

  3. Screen tearing not sure of cause

    You posted a lot of information. That isn't a bad thing, but I would say a good chunk of people coming into the thread are going to be put off by it.

    What I would suggest is taking the information you have there and short-handing it. People find it more readable to go down through a list of what has occurred and what you've done about it so far.

    I'm sure someone will be along to help. That your mobo threw a beep code suggesting memory, and you ran 4 passes on it (MemTest?) without any problems, maybe you're looking at a problem with the mobo.

    Again, try and shorthand your post.

    BSOD Hardware Caused???

    It is not overheating - CPU runs 60*C in games.
    Short Circuit - EXTREAMLY UNLIKELY
