Windows 10: Regular BSOD of various messages

I've just experienced several crashes, so I've now disabled verifier. Please see crash dumps attached.

Thanks!

 

You've read my post right? The answer is in my post *Wink

This isn't really good news *Sad
3/4 crashes didn't catch a driver, this would mean hardware problems.
The catched driver in the other crash is Driver Reference Table - IOMap64.sys
The problem is that usually most of the hardware problems aren't recognized through the dumps, that is called 'unknown hardware problems'.
We can try some software tests to see if they show anything.
The downside is that software isn't always 100% correct, this means that even if the test results are good the components could still cause problems. The best way to find out if a component is causing problems is to temporary replace and test. I am however still suggesting these tests as they usually do find the problem.

I'll try to run these tests throughout the week, as and when I get time!

In fairness, my particular model of motherboard has many bad reports about it so I wouldn't be surprised if the issues stem there. I don't want to pay out for a new mobo unless I really have to though, so it is good to try and rule everything else out first

Thanks, I'll take a look through that.

I have a problem - the program related to IOMap64 driver crashes is ASUS GPU Tweak. Because of this program I can't shut down or restart my PC in order for disabling of verifier to take affect; everytime I do so, the system crashes. Also, closing the program causes a crash. Each time it is a verifier driver violation.

There's no option in start up menus to disable the program opening, and I've tried uninstalling with Revo, but still the program launches and I can't do anything. Do you have any suggestions?

 

Is with Revo the program extended uninstalled?

Try booting in safe mode and disable the item from startup in safe mode.

 

I'll give it a go, but can't see the item in startup items anywhere in normal mode. Just to add that I can't use system restore, for some reason my system only retained one restore point, and the latest one was when I attempted to uninstall ASUS...

 

Safe mode did the trick - booted in to safe and manually deleted all traces of GPU Tweak and its driver

Hope it makes your system a little more stable.
