Windows 10: PC Games crashing randomly, Chrome Crashing, and Frequent Blue Screens

Hi all,


My PC has been acting perfectly fine for a few years until one day when I pulled the plug out while my machine was running a game on accident and problems started to arise from there. I got the chrome "Aw Snap!" messages sometimes and then all my games Overwatch, COD Warzone, Fortnite, CSGO started to crash seemingly at random 10-30 minutes in. In fact, I got one chrome "aw snap" when writing this.


Specs:

Core i5 6600k

Gigabyte z170 Gaming 3 Overclockable MOBO

8 Gig single stick Corsair Venegance ddr4 2

MSI Rx480 Armored OC 8gb

Samsung 850 EVO 1tb

Windows 10

Thanks in advance ;

:)

 

Crash/blue screen

Hi

I assume from the title of your post Crash/Blue Screen that the PC has crashed and produced a *BSOD=[Blue Screen Of Death] =Blue Screen; and that the PC recovered from this; if and when you see the Blue Screen write the Stop Code down; recover the PC or use one that is working to access the net and look up the Stop Code.

nb: You may be able to view this with a [*BlueScreenView] application, google for this.

Edit Link - Blue screen of death (STOP error) information in dump files.

Description
===========

BlueScreenView scans all your minidump files created during 'blue screen
of death' crashes, and displays the information about all crashes in one
table. For each crash, BlueScreenView displays the minidump filename, the
date/time of the crash, the basic crash information displayed in the blue
screen (Bug Check Code and 4 parameters), and the details of the driver
or module that possibly caused the crash (filename, product name, file
description, and file version).
For each crash displayed in the upper pane, you can view the details of
the device drivers loaded during the crash in the lower pane.
BlueScreenView also mark the drivers that their addresses found in the
crash stack, so you can easily locate the suspected drivers that possibly
caused the crash.

Frequent Windows 10 blue screen crashes

Reading the comments and suggested remedies for Windows 10 Blue Screen Crashes has been enlightening, however I have yet to find a remedy that works on our computers. My wife and I have three computers with the Windows 10 OS. The one that crashes most frequently
is our HP Pavilion 23 All-In-One. This All-In-One came with Windows 8 and has been upgraded to 16 GB of RAM and, of course, Windows 10. Next is our Toshiba Satellite L655 laptop that came with Windows 7 and upgraded to 8 GB of RAM and Windows 10. The least
frequent blue screen crasher is our Microsoft Surface 3 which has been very recently purchased and it came with Windows 10. These blue screen crashes occur too often and are very irritating. With our three machines I have been attempting, without success, to
find a common thread to the crashes. Most crashes seem to occur when we are playing are online, especially playing a game such as The LA Times Just Words Scrabble (the only appearance of a common thread is that, no matter which machine, the blue screen happens
when I'm ahead in the game). All three of our Win 10 computers seems to enjoy going blue in the middle of a very enjoyable video/movie. In addition Windows 10 seems to enjoy going blue when we are working with Office 2010 and other installed programs/apps.
All kidding aside, the Windows 10 blue screen crash occurs way too frequently on each of our three computers and the reasons given on the blue screens differs.

Each of our computers are set for automatic updates from Microsoft and other installed programs/apps. Could that be the common thread?

 

Random apps and games crashes with error 0xc0000005 and blue screens

Since the end of July 2019 my apps and games (including windows services) have been crashing randomly, the windows event log lists these crashes with error 0xc0000005, here's an example for the game Verdun (other apps and games crash with the same error):

Faulting application name: Verdun.exe, version: 2019.2.4.15146, time stamp: 0x5d65bc48

Faulting module name: unknown, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000

Faulting package-relative application ID:

I have also been having random blue screens with the errors PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA and CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED.

I have used windows Driver Verifier and I managed to get some blue screens that point to the clipsp.sys driver but I don't think the content of the blue screen contains everything meaningful.

The crashes do not seem to happen in Safe Mode.

In the past months I have tried almost everything:

• Clean boot
• Updated windows to latest version
• Used all tools to check integrity or corruption like sfc, chkdsk, ecc.
• Clean reinstalled windows multiple times
• Replaced RAM modules
• Replaced motherboard

The crashes still happen. Since I have no idea what is causing these crashes my next step will be replacing the CPU...
