BSOD after brand-new Windows re-installation
Hello Sevenforums and BSOD team, I have recreated another BSOD thread, last time I was having 0-10+ BSODs a day, and thinking it was a software problem I had re-installed Windows as a fresh new copy. Unfortunately I am still getting blue screens so this time I am inclined to think that it is perhaps a hardware issue. I have already tested my CPU, GPU, RAM, so I'm thinking it may be my Motherboard or Hard drives, although I do have a feeling it could still be the RAM as well.
I actually re-installed Windows twice, the first time I got a couple blue screens and had the install disk inside so it ran the repair tool twice (crashed twice.) The computer is about a year old now, the RAM was not on the Motherboard Manufacturer's list, however it was working fine. When I was installing Windows updates it did blue screen a couple times on Stage 2 (While it's shutting down.) It also ran Chkdsk once by itself and moved a few sectors of my SSD. The drive is formatted and partitioned new and Windows 7 Home Premium is installed, the other HDD drive still has my other files in it.
I've done a RAM test and it passed, but when I did an Extended test it got stuck on 21%, so I'm wondering if I should've left it to finish or not (I got impatient even though Windows says it gets stuck but it's still working.)
As I was moving some blu-ray movies from my HDD to my External Drive (Around 400GB) the PC Blue screened. This happened twice. Once while using the computer, another time just AFK'ing with it on.
If I think of anything I'll post it here, I don't think it's a PSU issue, I really hope it's not a hardware issue, but just in case I would like to know if it is so I can purchase some new RAM or another hard drive during Black Friday if it is.
I will include my PC specs and BSOD report here, the dump is recorded in Kernel mode, let me know if you want another mode.
