Random BSODs, 100% Utilization, and Driver Issues
Hello everyone. I've had a great experience with this site. The How-Tos and Tutorials have been more than helpful numerous times I've had to diagnose and fix system issues. However, this time, things seem to have got out of hand and are beyond my area of expertise. Instead of breaking something, I have decided it would be best to have more experienced users take a look. I have attached the appropriate information requested, along with the following (which includes memory timings, CPU-Z reports, etc..: Lots of system info via Imgur
Note I am NOT overclocked. Also included in the attachment is an excerpt from a string dump (produced with process explorer) of ntoskernel.exe that is riddled with errors.
Symptoms:
- Seemingly Random BSODs (rare)
- BSODs able to be reproduced: Format SD card using SDFormatter (near 100% chance)
- Random intense CPU utilization and subsequent freezes and lock-ups
Notes:
- Appears to be driver related.
- The system never hangs and requires a restart, if I wait it will resolve. Lag spikes are typically 1-2s, a few seconds max.
- Hamachi Driver reports an error but Hamachi seems to function fine.
- If it means anything, I have two stuck core temp sensors (DTS) at 56C. I am working on diagnosing and repairing this in a separate thread elsewhere.
- Process Explorer shows "TID 64, CPU 48.65, CSwitch Delta 458, Start Address 'ntoskrnl.exe!KeAcquireInStackQueuedSpinLockAtDpcLevel+0x1e0'" as the thread which uses large amounts of resources.
Thanks in advance and I am more than willing to provide any more information if necessary.
