Random "Any colour" Screen Of Death

Hi everybody,

I'm having screens of deaths from a month or so and they can be red, gray, green, blue, brown... though in the error report after reseting it only reads "BlueScreeen". I've donde everything possible and it keeps happening, completely randomly. One day it keeps reseting all the time and another it just doesn't occur.

I'd thank you a lot if you helped me. I attach what I read in the posting instructions thread.

Hi Epic Failer.

A Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) is a type of issue, where the computer crashes, and a blue screen reports the error. Like this:



The issue you are having is seeming to not a BSOD issue (the zips dont contain any crash dump, too); but some sort of hardware issue. Have you dropped the laptop anytime?

Test your RAM modules for possible errors.
How to Test and Diagnose RAM Issues with Memtest86+
Run memtest for at least 8 passes, preferably overnight.
If it start showing errors/red lines, stop testing. A single error is enough to determine that something is going bad there.

Stress test the Graphics Card using Furmark.

Stress test the CPU.
Hardware - Stress Test With Prime95

Is the computer hot? Report us the heat of the computer after a couple of hours of your normal usage. Upload a screenshot of the summery tab of Speccy. Alternatively, you can publish a Speccy snapshot too: Speccy - Publish Snapshot of your System Specs .

Let us know the results.

Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions
Use this same thread.

Don't run CCleaner until you get the problem fixed, or uncheck Memory Dumps and Windows Error Reporting in CCleaner. You'll need to wait until another BSOD happens.

Just a solid color on the screen, not text of any kind? If so it seems your graphics is failing in the laptop. Did you note what the temperature od the GPU was while running Furmark? Check you vents for dust clogs and blow/vacuum them out if dirty.

.......I run FurMark it didn't work longer than a few seconds before getting one deep red fullscreen. ....................Then it rebooted as usual and this time I was able to retrieve the dump.

At this point of time it is safe to say that the GPU, 8600M GS is failing to render the necessary graphics. The GPU is failing. Depending on the age of the the laptop, it is tough to say at this point of time that the GPU is the one and only thing that is failing, but it failing undoubtedly.

You need to change it.

Also, dust allocation inside the laptop is most possible. A total cleaning is very necessary.

With one more point I will go with Britton30.

So you definitely think that all problems come from the GPU.

Here is what I said.
