Multiple BSOD's. "ntoskrnl.exe" in each dump. Unsure.
Hi SevenForums,
I've had this computer for almost two years, with only one other glaring issue that was related to a faulty HD.
However, over the past few days there have been several issues with the computer, the most serious of which were a series of BSOD's.
Two days ago, my computer would constantly disconnect from the internet for seconds at a time; causing Skype to reload, Chrome to hang, and Dota2/Steam to disconnect. This happened quite often; once every fifteen to thirty minutes. Several minutes past midnight, while listening to music, the first BSOD occurred.
The next night, while the computer was idling with the monitor off, it automatically restarted. Upon turning the monitor on, I caught the last few seconds of a BSOD. This very day I've suffered two BSOD's, both of which happened while listening to music, which would stutter and repeat before the computer died. Interestingly enough, the last half second of the song continued to repeat all through the BSOD, before the computer restarted.
Each BSOD has happened closer and closer together. The initial two were around 24 hours apart, each happening several minutes after midnight. The two today happened at noon, and 3pm.
I've downloaded BlueScreenView, even though I've heard it's not the best software to use, I'm a novice at troubleshooting. Each dump I scanned mentioned "ntoskrnl.exe" as having an issue. I don't know what to make of this, and I don't have a backup computer to work with.
I'm currently in safe mode with networking, and haven't crashed yet.
The only change I've made to my computer recently was moving the room it's located in, and plugging in two new studio-monitor speakers, though the speakers were attached after the first BSOD two days ago, so I can't be sure.
Attached below are the .dmp files, and the SevenForums Diagnostic Dump.
Thank's for your help, and I hope it's a very obvious and easily-solvable issue.
I'm going to run SFC while I wait for the feedback that hopefully arrives.
EDIT #1 - 5:05 PM - SFC failed. Verified up to 94% then gave the error "Windows resource protection could not perform the requested operation." Attempting again.
EDIT #2 - 5:10 PM - SFC ends. Was unable to solve any problems. Dumped a CBS file, which I have just uploaded and attached.
EDIT #3 - 5:15 PM - Attempted to run SFC a third time. Caused a BSOD the instant SFC initiated. I've updated the attachment with the .dmp files. "020213-11169-01.dmp" is the most recent file. Once again, BlueScreenView highlighted "ntoskrnl.exe." I'm a little scared to do anything else.
