Unpredictable BSOD, incl: atikmdag, ntoskrnl and disappearing dumps
Hey all,
I put together my first computer a few weeks ago from parts I'd bought and things seemed to be going well until I started experiencing multiple BSODs. Having triple checked everything is all put together right in the case and updated to the latest drivers via the manufacturers sites (no beta firmwares mind, just the stable stuff) I'm at a bit of a loss of what to do. I've also run memtest86 and Prime 95 and passed both with seemingly flying colours. I've tried numerous fresh installs including using other versions of windows to no avail. A possible anomaly I've experienced quite a bit is that often after a restart I've noticed the files in my minidump folder often get deleted and replaced with a new culprit; that said, sometimes they stay there and I accrue a mass of them. The common errors I see listed include ones pertaining to atikmdag (I've tried clearing my drive of everything to do with ATI/AMD using Driver Sweeper and reinstalling) and ntoskrnl. As of this post, Windows Update says I'm up to date.
I'm hoping the experienced minds here can spot something obvious as I'm rather happy with my setup I just want it to be more stable :)
My system particulars are listed in my profile and the necessary attachments can be grabbed below, thanks in advance for taking time out of your day! PS, please note that at the time of running the tests I had security programs disabled but ordinarily I run MSE and Malwarebytes.
