Windows 10: PC crashing with BSOD abruptly with KMODE_EXCEPTION and WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

The PC continues to run normally after boot but randomly freezes and then crashes with BSOD stating either KMODE_EXCEPTION or WATCHDOG_VIOLATION.

I also have Citrix Adapter running on the system, and once when trying to uninstall and reinstall the adapter the system crashed again.


I have attached a OneDrive link to the .dmp files generated as well as msinfo32 of my systemhere

KMODE_EXCEPTION _NOT_HANDLED error / Frequent Crashes

Hi everyone,

This computer has been running smoothly for 5-7 years. Recently it started repeatedly crashing to a BSOD with KMODE_EXCEPTION _NOT_HANDLED error within 5 minutes. No specific stop code after KMODE error.

Things I've done:

• uninstalled windows updates, then reinstalled
• reinstalled a number of drivers: keyboard, mouse, HIDs, headset
• Physical internal cleaning of the computer.
• reconnected everything inside - RAM, power supply, fans, hard drives, GPU, WI-FI card, new thermal paste for CPU
• System Restore
• Reimaged with a new installation of Windows 10

Here is a link to the .dmp files: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1lWC4EoRpSqZeH3kYSt-IXuK_g9YVdPbH?usp=sharing

Some more info about the PC:

CPU: Intel i7

Motherboard: ASrock P67 extreme 4

RAM: 16 GB

PSU: Corsair tx750

GPU: Radeon HD 6950

SSD: Adata 120 120GB

HDD: 1000GB Samsung

Issue persists. Tried to read the .dmp files but not able to decipher anything from it. Any help would be apprectiated.

 

PC reboots (no BSOD) on CPU stress

Hi fellow TPU members,

not too long ago, the box my gf's PC was transported in gave way on the stairs. Yes, you got it right, that sent a PC tumbling down a flight of steps alright.

Stuff broke. Also, stuff remained intact somehow.

I bought her a new case, new CPU cooler and we removed the floppy drive, so far so good. But the PC started crashing for no apparent reason, without a BSOD.

I tested:

• Memtest86+, left overnight, 0 errors
• Scanned the HDD for errors, nothing there
• Left FurMark burning up the GFX card and drawing some power, no problems there
• Ran Ubuntu from a Live CD doing nothing special, didn't crash
• Ran OCCT, Linpack, Prime95, all 3 caused reboots within minutes
• Oh, and I disabled "Restart on error" so I'm sure it's not a BSOD.

Now, I can still try and test something CPU intensive on Ubuntu, but my guess is the CPU didn't survive.
Before I do anything drastic like whippin' out the magic wallet and get her a new AMD quad, is there anything I didn't see?
I'm guessing the motherboard could be borkered as well, but can I check that other than replacing the CPU with a working one?
Any suggestions on which proggies I can use from an Ubuntu Live CD to stress the CPU?

 

Windows 10 crashes abruptly

In the last two months, my PC has been crashing abruptly during gaming sessions. When I examine the system's events in Event Viewer, I see a lot of Event ID 7023 before the crashes:

"The User Data Access_8a7dac6 service terminated with the following error: Unable to complete the requested operation because of either a catastrophic media failure or a data structure corruption on the disk."

I followed the Microsoft Support Engineer's troubleshooting steps in this forum: Event ID 7023 Error. Computer keeps crashing. That
seemed to have worked for 20 days, until just now, when the PC suddenly crashed and rebooted again.

I saved the Event Viewer log as a file and can provide it if needed. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated - I've never seen a crash like this before.
