Windows 10: Random BSODs

Hello all,

So my pc has been acting weird for months now, at first only when gaming my pc shut down with no messages or anything, windows event viewer kept on showing DistributedCOM errors even after i kept on fixing them and refused to boot until i manually pressed the reboot button but just a week ago when i was on VMware it happened again now im unable to do any kind of serious work on my pc. At times, firefox would crash and then the pc sometimes spotify would crash and then the pc.

The most common bsod i have is Page fault in non paged area. One time it showed the cause of error as kilf.sys which belonged to kaspersky i couldn't find the kilf.sys driver file so i uninstalled kaspersky. The errors kept on comin back so i got frustrated and reinstalled windows(windows 10 N) using a usb i made using the media creation tool and I got a BSOD DURING the installation (hahaha fml). Now my pc still keeps on randomly shutting down. Please help.

I have tried changing the RAM (not afraid to reseat it)

I have tried changing the powersupply (it was making a weird sound so i thought that may be a cause of it)

My windows installation is on my SSD, but after reinstalling as mentioned above, upon booting it shows me that i have two installations of windows (on volume 1 and 5)

I once accidentally converted one of my disks into static/dynamic

chkdsk /f /r shows me i have some bad sectors at the fourth stage

sfc /scannow stops at 79%

The other errors i get are

irql_not_less_or_equal

system_service_exception

critical_system_corruption

sometimes it shows me an srt trail error too

BitDefender is nothing special. mwac.sys causes BSODs anywhere.
A tiny documentation can be found here: Solved Random BSODs - Windows 10 Forums
In that very thread, the suggested action apparently worked.

The storage and network filters of any third party antivirus can cause BSODs. Neither MBAM nor BitDefender is any special. For a regular antivirus, it may be shifted to an alternative; but MBAM has no alternative. So a clean install of the said program is the most feasible first step.
As far as the first step is not failing, it is better to not think for the second step. Because the BSODs are not universal, failure at the first step is not universal; and success at the second step is also not universal.
That is why I posted that my suggestion may work, or may not. Let us see where it goes.

Sorry, Bitdefender is a problem: BSOD BAD_POOL_HEADER - mwac.sys - Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Help - Malwarebytes Forums

 

Random BSODs "Bad_Pool_Caller"


This BSOD happens anywhere, irrespective of BitDefender. It takes place even when the antivirus is MSE in case of Windows 7. The most common cause is an expired trial or a cracked installation. Some examples:

• Norton: Windows 7 Random bsod caused by tcpip.sys - Windows 7 Help Forums
• MBAM only: Epic BSOD error appears just after few seconds from boot Solved - Windows 7 Help Forums
• McAfee: BSOD on Internet Related Programs (tcpip.sys) - Windows 7 Help Forums
• Avast: Bad Pool Header 0x00000019 at random times - Windows 7 Help Forums
• Avira: BSOD randomly Crashes my Laptop and freezes at Memory dump 100 - Windows 7 Help Forums
• Crack: BSOD every 6 minutes, also recent freezes - Windows 7 Help Forums

We are on our way of troubleshooting. If the uninstallation and reinstallation does not work, we will take the next step.

I, in general, know what I am doing and what I am suggesting. If I feel that I am unable to control the issue, I will definitely ask for help.
