BSOD Errors, Ntoskrnl.exe and Thread Exception
I purchased a new computer the previous week and I have been fighting with it for this whole time.
To explain the whole story
I received two BSODs, on the 20th and 23rd with Thread Exceptions. The first was while I was browsing the Internet, the second while playing Planetside 2. Upon heavy research both on these forums and the wider Internet, and the first check of installing everything on my Motherboard's Website (Upgraded BIOS before BSODs), upgrades intel_ime etc., various drivers, I came upon the Intel RST. Upon hitting that, it basically installed the program and updated the OCZ Vertex3 SSD Drivers, (or so Windows said). So far, I have not had any BSODs (two days ago).
I ran Driver Verifier for over 36 hours, only to come back between the 34th and 40th hour (was at work during that period) to find my Razer Hardware frozen and unresponsive. This, I do not believe to be a problem with the computer, but with Razer's Synapse, as I also ran BlueScreenView, WhatisHang and WhoCrashed while verifying drivers, and saw no hangs/errors. I reset the computer, did sfc /scannow and an extensive chkdsk (for around the 5th time in the past few days) and found no integrity violations/errors.
I am at a loss of what it might have been, and IF the whole updating drivers thing, or making sure they are updated has fixed it. I am seeking help to both put my mind at ease, or see if I have faulty hardware which I can take back to the manufacturer and replaced.
The fact of the matter remains, that I use this computer for both work and gaming daily (especially the work is to be underlined here) and I wish it to be fixed/or my mind put at ease as I have more work coming up in the following weeks.
Edit: Also getting OOBE error in the Event Viewer, after uninstalling MSEssentials, which I thought removed (after following some steps of manually removing the file it cannot load from the ProgramData/Windows/Security folder, it still errors out. I dont know if that is actually important though.
Edit2: Also installed CrystalDiskInfo and it all shows up as Good. (The OCZ and the External HardDrive I use for random storage.) Firmware of Vertex3 came preinstalled at 2.22, but the drive doesnt show up for the OCZ toolbox app once I installed the Intel RST. Incidentally, both BSODs occured while the external drive was plugged in.
Edit3: I have also Memtest86'd the RAM sticks a few times without any errors.
Edit4: Added Aida64 Report just for further reference I guess, and more help for the Doctors :)
Attached are the SF Diagnostic Tool files
