I have been trying to help my 82 year old father deal with these irritating but not disastrous BSOD faults but I have failed.
The machine is a relatively new build and I have run memtest with no problems being reported. I have also cloned the OS to a new SSD from the previous HDD.
Any further ideas would be most welcome
Kind regards
Andrew
You will need to do a more thorough RAM test using MemTest86+ - run it for a minimum of 8 passes, typically overnight, or until you see any errors appear.Code:******************************************************************************* * * * Bugcheck Analysis * * * ******************************************************************************* Use !analyze -v to get detailed debugging information.

RAM - Test with Memtest86+
Thank you for the quick response
Prior to the Hard Disk clone I had run Memtest overnight as a memory error seemed to be the most obvious answer. However the test ran with NO errors at all. However if dmp files are pointing to a memory error I will rerun the test again - no harm in trying!
OK - so ran Memetest86+ yesterday afternoon and all night (17 hours > 20 passes) and had zero errors
Any further ideas?

Am I pushing water up hill by trying and solve this?
The memory error could be CPU side. Please run the following, report the outcome, and also the temperatures please:
CPU - Stress Test Using IntelBurnTest
OK - I have run the CPU stress test on my fathers i5-3570K (TCase 67.4 C) and have been unable to finish it as it reaches 67 C after two passes at which point I stop the test.
This may be the reason for his BSoD but given that it the BSoD only happens randomly and sometimes when he is not using the PC do you think a bad CPU / cooling is the problem?
It could be. I think the best thing to do now is reseat the CPU cooler, taking care to clean off the old thermal paste and applying new paste again.
