Complete rebuild but still getting BSOD

Sorry about the long wait, various things have happened that prevented me spending a decent session in front of this PC.


I ran FurMark for half an hour. The temp rose to 68°C and then stabilised for the last 10 minutes with no problems.


Prime95 has been run for over two hours, with core temps staying at 42-43°C. The graphics card (passively cooled 2GB nvidea GT 730) stayed at 30°C, and the 3 hard discs between 23 and 28°C. The only notable temperature was Temp 2 which quickly rose to 52/53°C before stabilising for the rest of the duration of the tests. (possibly either northbridge or southbridge? I have no way of identifying which components are covered by Temps 1, 2 and 3 other than they are probably not CPU, GPU or HDs since these are separately identified)


Memtest 86+ was run for 16 hours giving 8 passes. For the spec of the PC this seemed to be a very long time for the 8 passes. It has 8GB (2x4GB) and both RAM chips were fitted. No problems reported. However one peculiarity I noticed was that the clock recording the duration of the test seemed to consistently miss a second every 4th or 5th second. It would tick over changing numbers at 1 second intervals and then every 4 or 5 seconds quickly flip from one number to the next in much less than the normal 1 second interval. Odd !


After Memtest I rebooted back to HD but the PC failed to start - getting past the light blue “Welcome” screen of Win7 but then hanging on a black screen and not loading up the desktop. To cut a long story short I removed 2 of the hard discs and eventually restarted on the remaining hard drive, The BIOS appeared to be correctly set up but until the old discs were removed it would not start. After restarting I decided to defrag the main disc and run CHKDSK just to be sure. CHKDSK took several hours to complete and although the disk is large (1TB) it did seem that the PC was running very slowly for some reason. However no faults were found.


Seatools didn't find any problems


It continues to BSOD and crash.Over 50 since I installed a fresh Win7 on a new disc and dumped all my old (favourite) programmes as potential trouble. I installed BlueScreenView to look at al the crash messages and trace any common driver or running programme but nothing seems consistent other than ntoskrnl.exe which seems to be the programme that is always running at the time of a crash. For info an excel spreadsheet of the last 50 crashes attached. The 4 pages should be seen as being all side by side to form a wide spreadsheet. I can only post pdf format not xls.


So any further advice welcome. I will carry on accepting (but not liking! ) crashes. I'd like to take advantage of the "free" win 10 offer but am reluctant while I have problems with the current set up.


Happy new year all
