BSOD BCCode 50 and 19 ntoskrnl.exe and win32k.sys
The day before yesterday, I installed a few free programs specifically from this thread:
What is a free PC program everyone should have? : AskReddit
The ones I installed specifically are:
CCCP
Malwarebytes
CCleaner
Defraggler (also uninstalled Auslogic's defragger and registry cleaner)
Irfanview (replacing xnview)
and Virtual Clone Drive (replacing Daemon Tools Lite)
I ran CCleaner and then defragged my C: drive. Everything worked just fine that day. However, when I turned on my computer the day after, I kept blue-screening whenever I opened my browser and whenever I tried to open Notepad++ (there may be other causes of BSOD but I haven't yet found them).
So far, I've already run Memtest86 once (by that I let it run overnight) without any errors. I am currently running it again just to be sure, though. I've already run chkdsk once without any issues there so I don't think it's a hard drive error either. I have already run Malwarebytes which didn't fix the issue but did find a few infected files. I already updated my graphics card drivers so that wasn't an issue.
A few minidumps are in the attached zip file but do not include the most recent BSODs because apparently using the internet via either Chrome or Firefox also makes a BSOD (thus, I had to manually move these minidumps over to my work computer). The more current BSODs seem to be exactly the same one though (either code 50 or 19). I will run the diagnostic tool recommended by the posting instructions when I get home. I am also not sure how exactly to interpret the Bluescreen Viewer when viewing my minidumps.
Just a note: I can actually access the internet fine through Steam (at least, the store page works fine and any updating games) but not through any browsers. I also reinstalled Notepad++ but haven't tested whether or not it still crashes.
Can anyone help me interpret these minidumps for me? And maybe a few pointers as to what I'm supposed to be looking for?
