    The problem originates at default settings. I started having these without touching anything crucial for overclocking, or further specification. ALL of it is normally on auto. Couple of days ago. I manually set the memory to factory specifications it seemed to make it more unstable.

    I also noticed programs that tend to crash, freeze or have BSOD occur run on my C: drive. So I went ahead and re-installed the SSD's firmware, couple of hours ago. I've yet to crash since, so it seems as if it has had a stabilizing effect, still sometimes there can be a few days in between BSODs, so I'll wait and check back in on that.

    We have seen a lot of problems resolved with SSD firmware updates, BIOS updates, chipset drivers updates, and hard drive controller updates when dealing with SSDs. All components associated with SSDs seem to need to be up to date for stability. Hopefully that helps your situation. Let us know how the system responds over the next few days. You can wait longer to be sure if you want, as well. I will keep an eye out for your response for however long you need to feel comfortable that the system is running as it should.

    Sadly. My BSOD problem seems to persist although with diminished intensity.

    Is there a way to test the integrity of the built-in sound card? It is the only suspicion I have left, as even though it is properly connected through an HDAUDIO cable, I can't get the front audio ports to work (I have checked and it is enabled in BIOS). Of course I don't really mind, since I don't plan on using them any time soon, but that is me out of ideas.

    Still crash points to hardware and probably memory. Have you tried running with 8 GB at a time as suggested earlier in this thread?

    Yeah, I did that. Unfortunately the system wouldn't POST with Dr. Debug code of 45. When I tried to return it to its original setup it gave me code 2E. Both times there was and is no video output, although all fans spin up. CMOS reset doesn't help.

    Before I did any of that I went for another go at memtest. That was in my original 16gb system, it was rather unusual and you can find it attached to this.

    Since I am now stuck with my box of misery, that is my old system. I'd really appreciate if we can solve this.

    K. One problem solved. I am now writing from my good PC. It appears a memory module had been dislodged somehow, causing the problem. I put all 16GBs back in there in the end, with a CMOS reset to follow suit. I am going to continue testing the system using memtest86+, this time trying to get all the tests in one straight run, although I don't think that should make a difference, but an error has popped up at random, and I want to make sure of it.

    Even one error in Memtest86+ is too many. If you get any errors with the RAM firmly in place, it is likely that you have a bad module somewhere down the line.

    It isn't a normal memtest error though. If it were a memory error it would just list it and carry on. I left it overnight and I found my PC fully booted in the morning. Presumably the memtest halted again. Any idea where the error occurs or if there is other software to test my system with?

    If memtest86+ is halting, you likely have a hardware fault. These types of crashes typically indicate hardware. Do some hardware checks.
