View 9 RepliesMy computer is crashing constantly, and its gotten to a point where its just very hard to use. It sometimes crashes 3 or 4 times a day, with crashes including blue screens, random restarts, complete power offs, and a combination of blue screen and mid blue screen it turns off. I've manually removed software, used malware scanners, cleared data, but nothing so far has worked.
My computer is the CyberPower GUA880, with the single modification of an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti graphics card.
My most common BSOD is CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT
Here are minidumps of the past several bluescreens, and a full memory dump of the most recent one. I've been getting these for various reasons - I already fixed a few problems with programs chewing up hard disk and causing crashes due to this, but I recently started getting them again at random times and I can't figure out the root cause. Attached is the official folder of stuff from the tool. The event log will include additional unexpected power losses because occasionally it completely freezes and I have to hard reset. I'm hoping it's not hard-drive failure because it often fails for different reasons.
View 9 RepliesI was having BSODs all throughout December. The problem seemed to be fixed when I didn't have a crash for 10 days, and now it crashes frequently. I'm worried there might be a new issue.

The last two days I have been experiencing with Windows 10 several blue screens (CRITICAL PROCESS DIED). This happened while using Reason 8 (music production program), while listening to music, while playing dota 2 (several times here) and when turning on the laptop...
Several weeks ago I downloaded Windows 10, before this I had Windows 8 and didn't ever have this problem...
I had a power outage a few days ago, and now my Windows 10 Pro has random Blue Screen problems.
My system was running fine before, did the Windows 10 Upgrade from Windows 8.1 Pro no problem.
I'm pretty sure the outage stopped my machine and potentially corrupted files.
I just happened to have new ram for the machine that I hadn't installed yet, so I put that in just to make sure my RAM was good.
The Blue Screens happen at random times, even when I haven't touched the machine after reboot. It will just blue screen again after a few minutes to a couple of hours.
I have the Samsung XP941 and ASRock Z97 Extreeme 9 Motherboard.
I'm hoping it hasn't damaged my Samsung card/HD.
It's hard to tell anything with that M.2 SSD drive.
No real diagnostic software or firmware stuff from Samsung anyways.
I have had a number of blue screens over the last few months, typically occurring a few times a week, and mostly displaying a different error each time. I have noticed it typically happens while on YouTube, gaming, or video editing. I ran Memtest for 3 passes with no errors. Also, I have tried to run driver verifier, but that just resulted in an infinite restart loop (no blue screens) that finally ended after seeing the error below, and I was able to disable driver verifier in safe mode.
I think the graphics card may be causing the issue as I have also noticed frequent game crashes and video corruption when watching movies. I tried reinstalling the graphics card driver however that didn't fix the issue. Should I replace my graphics card or is there another solution?

Essentially, ever since I upgraded, my computer (which has had its issues in the past, admittedly) has been crashing repeatedly, multiple times per day, exact amount varying with what I'm doing. The most common error according to WhoCrashed is Video_TDR_ERROR, followed by DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION, and HAL_INITIALIZATION_FAILED.
I've noticed it crashes more often when playing a flash video or similar streaming, followed by media players, and then even sometimes when just browsing the web. The majority of the time, it will freeze first, repeating a sound loop varying from a split second to a full second or so until it finally bluescreens.
I've taken the following steps so far to try fixing it, after some google searching:
*Rolling back Nvidia drivers to .30
*Completely removing the nvidia drivers with the uninstaller utility, and then reinstalling them again
*Reinstalling sound drivers and wifi drivers.
*SFC checks, and DISM even when nothing was found
*Hard drive repair (Check disk and seatools)
*Virus scans
But no luck so far. I'm assuming it's driver/software related based on what I know of the errors and the timing of it all.
As a side note, I can't change back to 7 right now, it's a long story that basically comes down to the files getting deleted when they shouldn't have been. I'd also prefer to avoid Restoring, as that removes all programs (Effectively, I don't have any from the Store), which defeats the purpose of upgrading instead of doing a clean install, unless someone knows of a 'repair' installation option like Windows 7 had, that keeps ALL programs installed, but I can't find anything like that.
Attached the generated archive.
My system had 2 blue screen the past few weeks, so I decided to try to check for eventual hardware and software problems, I started by running a stress test with ROG realbench since my CPU is overclocked, it gave me an error already(program stopped working), so after doing more tweaking(increasing voltage), then I finally put back the default speed because it wouldn't even start, although at the beginning it crashed right away when I clicked start, and after putting more voltage, it starts and works for a bit and then the PC just hangs, and it still does it at stock speed.. which is quite weird ! it also did it with cinebench, but the strange things is I played numerous hours of starcraft 2 without problem, also I wasn't doing anything when the blue screens happened.
I ran a windows memory test, no errors detected (haven't ran memtest though..) I also did a sfc /scannow and it didn't detected anything wrong.. I'm starting to think it's more related to windows than hardware.
I'll put a screenshot of the past blue screens :
A few days ago I started getting random blue screens and why everything is hooked up correctly and all the components work so my issue here are my PC Specs:
Operating System
Windows 10 Home 64-bit
CPU
AMD Athlon II X2 235
Regor 45nm Technology
[Code] ......
Recently up(down)graded to W10 and ever since I've had no end of instability issues resulting in BSOD's.
So far I've updated all my drivers which stopped the BSOD's for a few days but now they're reoccurring.
I can't identify a specific causation for them, of late they can occur just after startup, or within minutes/hours.

i get random restarts since i upgraded to win 10..
View 4 RepliesOn three occasions, my laptop has crashed displaying the blue screen. If I recall correctly, the blue screens occured while I was either browsing the web or reading a PDF..
View 3 RepliesMy computer has since for as long as I remember experiencing bsod crashes at varying frequencies. I have previously searched online for this twice, but without any success. The error messages in on bsod vary a lot, but I think all that information is in the attached file. And I don't think there's much more to say about it.
View 9 RepliesI'm experiencing constant blue screens on my new windows 10 pc.
The error says "KERNEL_AUTO_BOOST_LOCK_ACQUISITION_WITH_IRQL" and it keeps crashing every time i try to switch on.
so after countless fresh installs and cleaning and checking my hardware, i am still getting blue screens. i have seen "PAGE FAULT IN NON-PAGE AREA" and "MEMORY MANAGEMENT" and "IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL". maybe there have been others but these are the main bsod's. These bsod's sometimes follow my web browser crashing. Other times, the blue screens come out of nowhere. on a side note, the flash player and adBlock software sometimes crash. Also sometimes chrome just says the "aw snap" page and i have to refresh multiple times for it to work. if it doesnt work, then what usually follows is one of the BSOD's above.
None of the blue screens have error codes, just the names. And actually as i was typing the last sentence, my pc froze, then resumed, then instantly started lagging in my keystrokes, then gave me the PAGE FAULT blue screen above. my last fresh install was going very well until i downloaded and started the install wizard for the Logitech Gaming App for my logitech g930 mic. after i accepted the terms and went to the next page to choose file location, this all started and wont stop. just like the other fresh installs. but this is the first time i went long without problems.
I forgot to add that crashes also SOMETIMES instantly happen when i try to download games, update games, or install directx and things of the like for my games
A new BSOD i have never seen before just occurred while i was browsing my files. "DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION"
Link to 5 dmp files (all after bsod's)URL....
Another crash. "KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE"
So today i suddenly got a bluescreen but thought it wasn't anything special so I continued using my pc.
A few hours later my PC shut down and when I try to turn it on it either instantly reboots after i get to the login screen. When it restarts it has had these messages:
attempted execute of noexecute memory ntfs sys
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Windows 10
So I upgraded windows 10 from win 7 this summer, and it's been bugging since the beginning. Small things like when I am at the login screen I don't see that I write anything and when in windows and u press the windows key, under the "most used" apps there is nothing shown even tho if i click on the area different apps will launch.. So visual bugs I've had since I did the install. Today my computer crashed and I haven't been able to log in since.
My specs are:
gtx560ti
i5k
650W
8gig
I have overclocked the CPU to 4.3k.
So the Windows logo launches, but before I get to the login screen I get bluescreen with the smiley, and the error WHEA_uncorrectable_error. I changed my CPU to stock settings, so no more overclock. This time I get another error. Machine_check_exception..
I test overclock vs stock settings over and over, and always get the different errors depending on which option I use.
After a few crashes on overclock, I get the option to launch in Safe Mode. This works. Other options "search for problems with windows" (or smth like that I dont have english client) does NOT work. Choosing the option to remove all programs but save files also does NOT work.
I have changed position of my RAM and tried stock and overclock CPU settings without any difference. I have run windows 10 RAM test without any problems.
I have tried to reinstall windows 7 (since I have that on disc) but I get bluescreen every time I try (dont know which error code I get here)
Summary: WHEA_uncorrectable_error or machine_check_expcetion errors when launching windows, depending on if CPU is clocked or not. RAM works fine. Safe Mode windows works. Blue screen when trying to install windows 7
So this is not my personal computer, but this is my mom's computer. Its an HP Slimline Desktop computer, not sure about the exact model but it is running with an AMD Athlon X2 B24, 8GB of DDR3 RAM, AMD R5 240 and a Corsair Neutron 120GB SSD.
Everything was working fine when it was running a legitimate OEM copy of Windows 7 Home. However, after the Windows 10 upgrade process, it got stuck in "Welcome Back" Screen and she told me after she clicked "Next" the cursor started spinning, and it rebooted. Now after checking it, Windows wouldn't load to the desktop, it would just go on a bootloop and blue screens.
She didn't back anything up before the upgrade. I do not know what to do.
I am having a few issues with Windows 10, when my PC is left idle i find that it will blue screen.. i uploaded a few crash dumps from this issue [URL] .....
View 1 RepliesMy laptop, an Acer, has been freezing multiple times a day recently. Sometimes I get a blue screen eventually that tells me there's been a WHEA error, sometimes none of that. Yesterday, I kept staring at the screen for a while instead of restarting, and eventually it recovered. I could see the processor activity climb to 100%, and that interrupts claimed up to 14% of the activity. Afterwards, the network adapter (Qualcomm Atheros AR956x) was turned off, apparently because of a 'code 12' - 'insufficient available resources'.
That problem was only resolved after a restart. When I shut the computer down, I got a screen telling the computer was being 'prepared' for a long time - sometimes I also see a blue screen showing the installation of updates at start-up, even if none were waiting to be installed. The drivers for the network adapter are up to date, version 10.0.0.318 (apparently dating from May 2015). I'm quite sure this is a software issue - 'chkdsk' doesn't find any problems, nor does 'sfc /scannow'. And a friend of mine with an Apple laptop running Windows 10 (we've never exchanged USB sticks or anything) has exactly the same problem since installing Windows 10 (different network adapter however, and seems to have improved recently).
Although normally random, the freeze (to which this dump file is related) happened whilst listening to music in firefox, using teamspeak 3 and playing guild wars 2, after 2 hours with no issues.I have run memtest86 in multiple memory configs, only to receive under 10 errors in test 13 which I understand is OK.The errors are systematic for my type of memory (all sticks show similar errors in test 13 regardless of memory slot).
My Specs:
Windows 10 pro
CPU: 6700k (not OC)
GPU: Fury Strix
RAM: 32GB (4x8) Crucial ballistix sport DDR4 2400mhz
Mobo: Maximus ranger viii
PSU: Corsair HX1000i
OS HD: Samsung 850 Evo

Randomly getting a BSOD while gaming, or sometimes at complete random. What this dmp file points too? tried to do some research on the hal.dll driver, no specific luck on what could cause it.

I recently built a computer and am having a few issues. The most recent problems (BSODs - MEMORY_MODULE, IRQL) came while watching videos through Pot Player, which I had just installed.
While not a BSOD, my computer monitor has gone black a number of times while playing even low-intensity games. The computer itself stays on, but my only choice is to reboot. I have monitored temperatures of both the CPU and GPU, and they both stay fairly low (CPU- 35-40C, GPU 45C). I am not OCing. For reference, my outputs are HDMI to monitor, DisplayPort to A/V Receiver, and optical to receiver.
I believe I have the latest BIOS firmware, graphics drivers, etc. I ran 2 passes of memtest without error. I'm worried that there might be a hardware issue, but I don't know where to start.
I can't add a 2nd system spec to my profile, so here are the particulars for this computer:
AMD FX-8350
Cooler Master Hyper EVO 212
MSI 970 Gaming MB
Power Cooler R9 380 4GB
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1600
2x External 2TB WD MyBook HDs
Crucial MX100 SSD 500GB
Corsair CX600
Rosewill Stryker M Case

I upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7 home last week. However, today, while I was playing with my PS4, my PC randomly got 2 BSOD with in 3 minutes time frame. I was not using my PC. It was turned on, idling. After the first BSOD, the PC restarted and within 3 min another BSOD.I ran Memtest and Prime95, and played GTA 5 without any failures.
System Spec
Computer type: PC/DesktopSystem
Manufacturer/Model Number: Custom built
OS: Windows 10 64 bit Home
CPU: Intel i7 3770k (not overclocked)
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V

I'm having a lot of issues with a system I recently assembled. Apps like Word, Outlook and Firefox are randomly crashing, BSODs from time to time, and the PC sometimes crashes directly after sleep-mode.
I've tried the following:
-clean install
-updating bios
-replacing mobo
-replacing psu
-ran memtest; no errors
-removed nvidia card, just onboard graphics; no difference
