BSOD caused by ntoskrnl.exe, also random Chrome crashes ("Oh snap")
Hello,
I've just returned from my holidays and my computer startet to behave rather weird. First things I noticed was random "oh snap"-errors in Google Chrome. I updated Flash Player, tried a new Chrome profile and even reinstalled Chrome but nothing helped.
Tonight I had the first bluescreen while running a backup to my NAS.
A few minutes ago I had a second BSOD, this time while scanning the computer for malware with Spybot Search & Destroy.
I checked the MiniDumps with BlueScreenView, which indicated that they were caused by ntoskrnl.exe.
I have no idea if the Chrome errors and the bluescreens are related or if this is just coincidence.
I didn't change any hardware or software lately, apart from windows and software updates.
My hardware:
i5 3570k
Gigabyte Z77X-U3DH
8 GB DDR3 Memory
ASUS GTX 670
Samsung 830 SSD 256 GB
WD Black 1 TB
WD Green 2 TB
Asus Xonar soundcard
Antivirus is Avast, which I have been using for years now.
My CPU is oced to 4 GHz, but worked stable like this for more than two years now and wasn't using its full boost at the time of the bluescreens.
If you need further information, please request it. Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you.
Regards,
Gerrit
