BSOD ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x5A440) - Overnight crashes durning torrents.

Hello,

So I built my own rig, thought it would be straightforward, I was wrong. System has been slowly becoming more stable as time progress. Flashed bios, updated drivers, etc etc. However, to get me into a truly stable situation, need some help from people that know what they are doing.

This issue always happens overnight when I leave the computer downloading torrents. Every so often it just happens randomly while I am using my computer, viewing a website, writing a doc, programming . Start-up is kinda slow for 8 core processor as well. I have done with mem and disk test with good results.

I also used DRP13 to make sure I had all the latest drivers. No overclocking. Talking too much as this zip prob tells you what you need.

Obviously any help would be great. Thanks.

A lot of the bugchecks aren't giving very much useful information.
However one bugcheck has caught my eye, it may be a long shot but I've seen bugchecks being caused by viruses and because you're downloading torrents it wouldn't surprise me. (No offence).

Code:

This is the classic "buffer overrun"
hacking attack and the system has been brought down to prevent a malicious user
from gaining complete control of it.

A buffer overrun is basically when a driver writes into a non-paged pool address that is assigned for another driver which has caused pool corruption, this is mainly due to a device driver using more memory than what it is allocated. Another bugcheck that you have is actually caused by pool corruption.

I would highly recommend running your normal anti virus for threats.
I would then download and run malwarebytes. Make sure you untick the box that asks if you want to start a 60 day trial of malwarebytes pro.

I think you have Driver Verfier enabled as one of your bugchecks is caused by DV detecting a violation.
If you have turned it off can you please enable it again by following these instructions?

Edit: You seem to have an issue with your HDD. Can you please run a disk check to scan for errors on your HDD. Please follow these instructions

Disk Check

Can you then please run Seatools to scan for a failing HDD. Please follow these instructions.

BugCheck 24, {b50019060b, fffff88010c245d8, fffff88010c23e10, fffff80208337172}

Probably caused by : Ntfs.sys ( Ntfs!NtfsExceptionFilter+20320 )

One last thing, I can't seem to find much about this sys file but it looks very suspicious.

Code:

Probably caused by : vstor2-mntapi20-shared.sys

Thanks for your assistance. I have both Malwarebytes and bitdefender.

When I ran Driver Verification I could no longer boot into windows. I got an DRIVER_VERIFIER_IOMANAGER_VIOLATION this pointed to Scarlet.Crush Productions. This is driver i used to pair Bluetooth with a ps3 controller. I will remove and see what happens. I ran a system Restore then bitdefender no longer worked. Good excuse to revert back to MS defender. Perhaps that will help as well.

I ran chkdsk on both my hard drives without any negative results.

Good work pointing out vstor2-mntapi20-shared.sys this is left over from a vmware install. Not sure how to remove it, any suggestions?

Thank

So that took me on a interesting journey. Found out I had a bunch drivers that were not doing anything.

Figured out how to view and uninstall drivers using. pnputil.exe cleaned a lot of weird stuff out. Hope it works.

Thanks again.

Can you disable most of your startup programs. Use method three using these instructions

Startup Programs - Change

Disable anything that isn't your Anti Virus or anything thy looks like it must boot from Microsoft.

Then can you enable Driver Verifier again for 24 hours.
