BSOD after startup and loading my programs (Did a system restore)

**axe0** · 15 Aug 2016

A critical process can be terminated or exited for a fairly amount of reasons, a failing hard drive, the faulty memory, NTFS system corruption, BIOS has a bug, etc.
It looks like there have been a large amount of pagefaults in the threads of this process, I'm not sure what kind of pagefault, but I would suggest to run MemTest86+.

Diagnostic Test

RAM TEST

Run MemTest86+ to analyse your RAM. MemTest86+ - Test RAM - Windows 7 Forums

Note

MemTest86+ needs to be run for at least 8 complete passes for conclusive results. Set it running before you go to bed and leave it overnight. We're looking for zero errors here. Even a single error will indicate RAM failure.

Make a photo of the result and post it.

Addition:
If errors show up you can stop the test, remove all sticks but 1 and test this single stick in each slot for 8 passes or until errors show, switch sticks and repeat.
If errors show up and you see them a lot later, no problem, the errors don't affect the test.

I'm having issues loading off a USB. When I load into the USB it says missing operating system. Ive followed directions on the forum post however it's not working for USB. Would prefer to run it that way since I don't have a CD drive.

Simple USB switch seems to be the fix. The UBS seemed to not be identifying. I loaded a Sandisk USB just fine. Will run the Test overnight, the results will be posted tomorrow afternoon.

Thank you again, Axe0!

I can't find back that you've checked your SSD for firmware updates with Samsung Magician.
If you have not please do so and let me know if there is any (and install it) :)
If you have, please let me know :)

2. Check your SSD for firmware updates

Here is a screenshot of my firmware in Samsung Magician, will post the chk disk log in the morning. Got back from a vacation!

Also, the link that is there for the posting of the log doesn't seem to work for me. sends me straight to your seven forums home. Might be a glitch?

Small typo, fixed it.

Good news :)

Code:

              CHKDSK discovered free space marked as allocated in the
              master file table (MFT) bitmap.
              Windows has made corrections to the file system.

Let me know if another BSOD occurs :)

Downloaded Sims 4, Streamed, and did some browsing. Came back to my PC in afternoon and had a backlit screen that was just empty.

New log here.

I would suggest to try a vanille installation.

A vanille installation is Windows 7 updated with Microsoft Security Essentials, nothing else.
You could do it as follow

Put everything of the HDD on the SSD,
Remove the SSD,
Install a vanille Windows 7 on the HDD.

OR

Put everything from the SSD on the HDD that you do not want to loose
Remove the HDD,
Clean reinstall a vanille Windows 7 on the SSD
