Random BSODs, often 109s, usually linked to ntoskrnl.exe
Hi all,
A friend built me a gaming computer three years ago (most of the specs should be in my profile) and it crashes every so often. Sometimes a few times in a single day, sometimes once a month.
This can happen in the middle of a game, when browsing the Internet or when the computer is simply sitting idle. I have not noticed any correlation at all over the years in terms of what causes it.
I am a relative novice and my research into the problems led me to bluescreenview and the analysis of the BSODs for any correlation within the codes themselves, but this goes far beyond my capability and I'm hoping that there are people on here who might be able to scrutinize my dump files and help me out. All I have learned from looking at the data is that most crashes are 109s with the occasional 3b and the crash address seems to always be at ntoskrnl.exe+75bc0.
I have run both memtest and the Windows memory diagnostics several times over the years and my RAM has passed every time.
Although this is something I can live with, a friend reminded me the other day that I don't have to, and that computers should never crash.
Any help would be most appreciated - I will co-operate in any way possible. I followed the instructions on the sticky thread at the top of this forum so all of the relevant information should be attached.
Thanks.
