    Yep, just as I thought. Disk is the primary suspect now. Also you mentioned your BSOD "Flashed" It doesn't make sence since it should normally take a few seconds to write a dump. My thought is it failed due to the disk suddenly loosing connections.

    Also did you uncheck "Restart Automatically" in Control Panel>>System>>Advanced system settings>>StartUp and Recovery settings? That is an important thing in BSOD troubleshooting. Then tell us if the Dump generated or not. Also check in the C:\Windows\MiniDumps folder to check if there is a dump with the date of the bsod. Upload it if possible.

    CHKDSK is still on stage 5 with 62% completed. Restart automatically is uncheck. The only times BSOD flashed was when I tried to boot into safe mode. BSOD would flash very briefly then monitors,keyboard, and mouse would lose signal. After signal would be lost fans and lights from the PC were still on.

    Only in safe mode you say... That is really strange. Anyways, be sure to check dumps after you've scanned your disk with seatools. I doubt it's successfully generating dumps.

    CHKDSK finished and it was clean. I hope the attachment works. I had to make a copy of it because it said I didn't have permission to open it. Going to run seatools now. Be back shortly.

    This time it is a stop 0x1E.

    BugCheck 1E, {ffffffff80000003, fffff800024c7860, 0, fffffa800491a330}
    
    Probably caused by : ntkrnlmp.exe ( nt!NtCallbackReturn+160 )
    
    Followup: MachineOwner
    ---------
    Some hints of ntfs.sys, volsnap.sys, atapi.sys and ataport.sys are failing. All those are HDD related.

    Before starting teh seatools test, make it sure that the HDD is screwed tight, cablings are perfect, there is no bent piins in the cables or HDD's posts, and also attach the SATA cable to an unused port to the motherboard.

    If all are perfect, and seatools also does not show any error, we have to check for any driver which might making those things fail.

    Yet a mystery.. Disks seem to be fine. I'm thinking it is a driver problem then. We can rule out disk failure. Can you try taking out your network card (If it's not integrated) and uninstall all its drivers. It's just for testing, you can put it back in if you get another BSOD.

    Now enable Driver Verifier to monitor the drivers.
    Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable
    Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.

       Information
    Why Driver Verifier:
    It puts a stress on the drivers, ans so it makes the unstable drivers crash. Hopefully the driver that crashes is recorded in the memory dump.

    How Can we know that DV is enabled:
    It will make the system bit of slow, laggy.

       Warning
    Before enabling DV, make it sure that you have earlier System restore points made in your computer. You can check it easily by using CCleaner looking at Tools > System Restore.

    If there is no points, make a System Restore Point manually before enabling DV.

       Tip



    Let us know the results, with the subsequent crash dumps, if any. Post it following the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions.

    Hey Arc, back on page one I did enable DV. Would you like me to disable then re-enable it?
