BSOD and Random Freezing
Greetings, I have been pulling my hair out trying to work out what's going wrong with my PC lately, not having much luck unfortunately... Hopefully somebody here could shed some light on the situation?
Last week I got a new drive (2TB Barracuda) and since I had the space, I decided to backup data and try set up my two 500GB Barracudas in a RAID0 array. I'm not sure if that has any bearing here, since I never actually got to the point of booting Windows (PC wouldn't POST with my SATA controller set to 'RAID'), but I mentioned it just in case. I have since set it back to AHCI, which I was already running.
Anyway, while my machine seems to be fine while running on the desktop, the problem I have is after 30 to 40 minutes of gaming it either locks up with no warning or error (everything stops dead, numlock doesn't work, and the last few milliseconds of sound get stuck in a loop), or I get a random BSOD and it restarts...
I've done thorough scans of all my drives in both Windows and Linux, and I've scanned the registry for problems (TuneUp Utils 2012), none of these steps showed any problems.
A few months back I did have problems with the 'nvlddmkm.sys' file, which I fixed by manually replacing the sys file from the same setup package (after reinstalling the drivers didn't fix it). That particular problem has not come up again since.
Attempting to run "sfc /scannow" gets to 11%, before leaving this nice message for me:
I ran Prime95 for about 3 hours last night, the highest core temp reported by Speccy was 42 degrees and there were no errors or crashes. I've also run MemTest86+, again with no problems. I just ran the SF Diagnostics Tool and attached the output, not really sure if any other information is required for someone to help me? If so, just let me know..C:\Windows>sfc /scannow
Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.
Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 11% complete.
Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation.
Having just lost my installation files with drivers and utilities (stupid mistake on my part with GParted...), I'm kinda reluctant to download them all again to format and reinstall right now, so I'm hoping this can be fixed without a reinstall.
So, any bright ideas?
