Guys,

I am running Windows 10 and for the last few months, all I seem to be getting is the blue screen of death.

Is there a tried and tested process to follow to pinpoint the reasons behind the crashing?

Or is there any other information that I can provide that might help pinpoint the issues?

Thanks in advance.
 
Thanks guys

I havent even tweaked any of the hardware its running stock at the moment.

Just booted the PC and checked the event viewer but nothing really stood out (not as if I really know what I am looking for anyway)... I opened Google and BSOD.

The error that come up was WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR

Hope that sheds some light.

I will list all hardware specs and re-post.
 
Asus ROG Maximus X Hero Intel Z370 DDR4 ATX Motherboard
Intel Core i7-8700K LGA 1151 3.70GHz CPU
Samsung 960 EVO Polaris 500GB SSD
G.Skill Trident Z (2x 8GB) DDR4 PC4-3410019 4266MHz Ram
Asus GeForce GTX 1070Ti Strix 8192MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
 
I have no idea on the temps, PC was on less than 5 mins and crashed. I am using a Noctua NH-D9L Cpu Cooler 92mm.

The machine was all put together January 2018, only the last 6 months has BSOD got to the point that its so unreliable and I would rather use the Mac.

Just running the windows memory test as I post this

Memory test came back with no errors detected

Found a couple of errors using eventvwr.msc in the application section.

Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files (x86)\Audacity\audacity.exe".Error in manifest or policy file "" on line . A component version required by the application conflicts with another component version already active. Conflicting components are:. Component 1: C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\manifests\amd64_microsoft.windows.common-controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0.17134.885_none_fb42a3473065565f.manifest.

Would these be of interest?
 
Had a couple of more errors appear this afternoon.

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

and

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
What Failed: klim6.sys


After a big of digging I have removed Kaspersky from the PC and also removed some old programs and apps that are no longer of use to me.

So far so good and no BSOD. I will post update in due course - wish me luck .

Thanks Speedy
 
Daughter logged in to my administrator account and logged into EA Origin and played her Sims 4 - 5 mins later BSOD

But apart from that, the PC is stable. Ran a 'NOVABENCH' test and managed a score of 3022 without any errors.

Help, please guys
 
Finally bit the bullet.

Did a full wipe of the C drive and a new install only to find the PC is bloody worse.

I now login and within 10 seconds I get the BSOD

Any help on this one would be gladly appreciated.
 
I have removed the RAM one at a time and its still hangs, Removed the GPU and it still hangs, Removed the Wifi card and it still hangs.

Just booted in Safe mode with networking and its stable? Any ideas where I go from this lol

Thanks

Core temps dont look excessive? Lost for ideas on this one at the moment.

If it happens again may boot from another drive?

Truely got no idea what has remedied the BSOD. The PC has been stable for the last 2 days. Stress test after stress test and its still ok.

Thanks for all your help guys - its much appreciated.
