Random BSOD running various applications
Hi all,
I've been experiencing very frequent BSODs with different bug check codes and causes every time. When a BSOD happens, there is this buzzing sound and it will say something like 'initializing crash dump....' but nothing else will happen. I have to manually restart my laptop again. On a couple of occasions, my laptop will even just hang at whatever I'm doing with no BSOD, again causing a manual restart.
Attached is the SF diagnostic tools zip file.
Some points I'd like to bring out:
1. I can't really remember, but I had an automatic windows update on or before 28 Dec 2012. On that day I also experienced a BSOD.
2. I then was on vacation and the next time I started up my laptop was 10 Jan 2013. Ran OK for a couple of days, then on 14 Jan 2013 the BSODs started.
3. I was experiencing frequent Google Chrome crashes of the "Aw snap" variety from 14 Jan 2013 onwards.
4. I've updated the NVIDIA graphics driver the proper way (uninstall, safe mode driver cleaner, reinstall) but it didn't solve the problem. I've also updated the Intel Graphics Driver.
5. sfc/scannow and MS security essentials did not turn anything up.
Please help me to troubleshoot this. Appreciate any and all advice and suggestions. Thank you.
