No BSOD or minidump, just persistent crashes
Windows 7 Home Premium - persistent crashes several times per day but no BSOD and no minidump though I'm configured to produce one.
Machine has been running perfectly fine since 2010. Crashes began on July 31 2015 (machine had been down for a month prior to that while I was on holiday). The crashes usually SEEM to happen while scrolling online, Firefox, Chrome, but not exclusively as it's also happened while watching a movie on VLCPlayer, and also while editing in Photoshop. Nvidia driver is up to date.
Nothing immediately obvious and always bugcheckcode 0 on the Kernel-Power critical event that shows up on reboot.
Machine vacuumed out. Temperatures seem ok. Tried un-installing a batch of Windows updates that were added on the day the crashes first started July 31 but that had no effect. Have checked and updated drivers with DriverMax and SuMo. Have run through Tweaking.com Windows repair utility. I've tried other avenues but I admit to having no clue why this is occurring.
I've held off re-insalling Windows in the hope a fix can be found, so any help would be welcome.
Cheers, Jeff.
