Windows 10: Tons of BSODs at seemingly random intervals

So here is the link. CBS.log - Google Drive

Hope I did that right. I also ran Seatools and Memtest and got nothing. No errors. I still have to do the verify drivers, and I uploaded the CBS file because it said there were issues that I couldn't fix, so maybe my problem lies there.

 

Hey, forgot to include these images.

Also, I ran Driver Verifier and got a blue screen. Trying to get a dump uploaded now.

I also am trying to update my specs.

Lastly, I've been running into boot problems. Sometimes, instead of restarting, my computer beeps, on and off. I hold the power button til it shuts off, and wait five or ten seconds, turn it back on, and sometimes, I get the beeping again. After a few tries, it turns on normally. Don't know what you can do with that.

 

Please try following command in admin command prompt
Code: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth[/quote] If there are problems with RestoreHealth, please follow step 6 or 7 (depending on the file you have from the download) from the tutorial DISM - Repair Windows 10 Image - Tutorial.

With SeaTools, have you only done the 'Fix All long' test?
If you have, open SeaTools again and run the short generic and long generic tests too.
The short generic test is the test that usually always passes, in that case the long generic test is the one that must determine the health of the hard drive.
If however the short generic test fails, the long generic test isn't needed anymore as the hard drive is failing/faulty.

The beeping is from the BIOS, the BIOS has the POST (Power On Self Test) in its software that tests the system at boot.
If something is wrong, you hear beeps, the beeps indicate what is wrong. However you need the motherboard manual to understand what those beeps mean to find out what is wrong.

 

With SeaTools, I did the long test, but I just did the short one just in case.

Also, I took a look at the BIOS, which should be an Award Bios, and the beeping looks like it's a ram problem. But I've run the Windows 10 Ram check as well as the Memtest tool as well, which passed all 8 passes without errors. I took them out, dusted anything off, and replaced them, except in different spots (because why the hell not at this point).

I'm thinking if we can't figure this out much sooner I will just try a clean install as soon as I can get my hands on a SSD to install Win10 on. But I'll keep going with you as long as you're not giving up. Thanks for the help so far. Going to do what you just asked with Restorehealth.

 

I'm not someone who gives up until everything has been tried *Smile

I hope you can get a SSD soon for a clean install, we might just be in an endless troubleshooting process due to the upgrade.

 

So the restorehealth came up with nothing, but I had a question. Before I throw down some money for a SSD, can I just install Win10 on my external hd (70 ~gigs) and then boot from it? Play around and see if it crashes?

 

My PC crashed and I noticed this as the culprit. usbehci.sys

I had quite a few BSODs in the last hour or two. Here's a new dmp.

 

You cannot install Windows on an external device.

 

Rats. Okay. Well, I'm using Christmas money to buy an SSD. Or a large HDD. I'll try that.

Happy holidays!

 

Hey, so I've done a clean install on a brand new SSD (bought myself an extra Terabyte HDD too for good measure). I haven't gotten any BSODs yet, so this may have been the fix I needed. However, Windows won't let me do some things (like personalize it) because it says it needs to be activated. Do you know if this is an issue some people are having with clean installs?

 

Usually nobody has any problem with a clean install, but it is on the same hard drive.
I'm not sure, but if I'm correct the activation is bounded to the hardware what means that if you replace the hard drive or motherboard or something you need to activate again. This is my understanding of the W10 activation.
I would go to Windows Updates and Activation - Windows 10 Forums to ask for it to be sure.

 

Hey, so I've been using the PC for a few days now and it's been fairly stable, but I still get bsods, just not often, maybe once or twice a day. Hopefully, these dumps can tell you more than usual considering there are far less files installed on the PC now.

 

This suggestion is focused on a usual cause according to BSOD Index
I know you've done a clean install a few days ago, but you'd be surprised how many devices are still infected after a clean installation.





Diagnostics Test

Malware scan
Please run a threat scan with Malwarebytes*, a full scan with your AV, scan your system with Adwcleaner, Kaspersky TTDSKiller, ESET Online Scanner and SuperAntiSpyware


Note *(Uncheck trial version in the installation process)

 

Update for you. My problem is still a problem mostly due to the fact that I don't know what is causing it. However, I do know that after running those virus scans ( and the clean installation) my system was pretty stable. However, today, I was bombarded with more BSODs, about as bad as before the clean installation. Infuriated, I immediately set out to reset Windows 10. Now that I did that, it seems stable once more.

Something happens to my PC where this problem starts to occur, and I don't know what it is that is doing it. I've recently found that it's not smart to use your PC as an administrator for casual use, so I created an admin account and took admin privilege from my own. Perhaps programs and viruses were misbehaving because of my admin status.

I'm fairly sure it's a virus or software problem, because hardware would act up regardless of antivirus or clean installations. Any ideas on how a system could become so unstable so quickly? I've been installing programs from trustworthy sources.

I'll mark this thread as solved after your reply. Thanks for the help. I just wish I knew how to avoid whatever the heck the problem is. Will Windows Defender be good enough until Avast isn't misbehaving with Windows 10?

 

In case of a virus, I know where you can get help expert help in detection and removal.

A system could become unstable when there is a virus on the system that is very deep integrated, meaning that a wiping or removing of the hard drive wouldn't help. Those kind of infections exists these days if you didn't knew.
A system could also become unstable due to drivers from peripherals or motherboard not updated and thus causing problems when used or when a driver from a program is a little unstable. This case is very often happening.

Windows Defender certainly is good enough, as long as you at least keep doing the basics *Smile
