BSOD only when PC in Sleep Mode or just after waking up
Hi all, thank you for coming to have a look at my issue! I'm absolutely lost after trying to figure this out for a very long time, so I can use some help.
Summary of the issue:
My PC crashes only when in sleep mode or when just having woken up from sleep mode.
Before this crash started happening, my PC had Sleep greyed out from the options in the 'power options' menu, and had 'Hibernate' as an option instead. All was fine, I maybe had one BSOD once in the year and half of owning my custom built PC. Then, after performing a series of Windows 7 updates that I'd left to sit, the Sleep option was no longer greyed out and Hibernate was gone from my 'power option' menu. Huh. This seemed fine, until I noticed that my PC started crashing when in sleep mode or when waking up from sleep mode. It doesn't do this 100% of the time, but very frequently, probably around 80% of the time. When analysing crash logs it appeared to be a memory issue. But even after trying many solutions, it still does this.
So, this has in fact been an issue for over a year now. I have previous attempted to solve it using various BSOD tools but with no luck. So, for lack of an explanation, I left it (I know, bad, but I was out of ideas).
Yesterday, I discovered to my utter shock that my graphics card (an AMD Radeon 390) had stopped working completely. It seems to have blown (I attempted switching PCI slots, reinstalling drivers, see if the BIOS would recognise it, etc. but no luck). This may just be coincidence, but I want to solve my BSOD issue before introducing a new GPU to my PC.
I completely reinstalled Windows 7 from the original installation disk I had bought 3 years ago. I have disconnected my secondary HDD and my PC is currently running off only my SSD where Windows has been reinstalled. The SSD was formatted during the reinstall.
I was hoping a fresh install would solve my issue, and I left it nearly untouched - I only installed my driver for my new (bought a month ago) wifi adapter and drivers suggested with Windows update. No other drivers are installed at any point. And yet, my issue continues.
Because of this, I fear that it may be a hardware problem, but I can't figure out what piece of hardware may be causing the issue.
This is where I hope someone can give me some additional answers about my issue. I have attached my zipped up log of the one BSOD I had since my fresh install yesterday, and am happy to attach more info if needed.
