BSOD on Startup - Varying Error Messages

OK, this time it's another driver,

Code:

BugCheck 1000007E, {ffffffffc0000005, fffff880075ae38a, fffff8800a193488, fffff8800a192ce0}

Probably caused by : RTKVHD64.sys ( RTKVHD64+35e38a )

Followup: MachineOwner

Driver Reference Table - RTKVHD64.sys

That driver is from Jan. 2014 though.

I think something else is going on here.

What were the results of the SFC scan?

Have you checked for malware recently?

I think these tests will be useful too,

MemTest86+

Run a minimum of 8 passes, preferably overnight, or until errors occur using MemTest86+.

Use this tutorial to help you use MemTest86+:

Do you have backups and use an imaging program to keep all your data safe?

That is always a good idea anyway but even more so right now.

Results of sfc /verifyonly showed nothing - all clear. I can run sfc /scannow if need be - as I understand sfc /verifyonly analyzes and it found nothing. I'm running MSE and will run a Full Scan right now. Will also follow instructions from previous post. I do not have a backup - I will see what I can do now. Thanks in advance.

Do you have Malwarebytes installed?

That is another excellent tool to have installed.

Just use the free version, uncheck the free trial,

Update the database and do a full scan.

I do not, but I do now. Thanks! :)

You're welcome. We'll get this figured out. :)

Thanks - I know we will. :) 6 minutes into Malwarebytes scan and it seems we already have 3 objects detected - great idea for that. Thanks. I'll update you on the results when the scan is complete. Also loaded MemTest86+ on a thumb drive, I will try that once the scan is complete and we've sorted everything out with that. Thanks in advance.

Good work, after the malwarebytes scan and clean, can you upload the log file.

It will be here,

C:\ProgramData\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs

ProgramData is a hidden folder so you will have to unhide it.

Sure thing - any idea how long a full scan takes? I'm going to leave it running overnight regardless, but I was just curious.

It might be a few hours on your's, you have about 300+ GB to go through.
