Yes that is true.
Copy that file, extracted not in its zip form, to a USB thumbdrive and boot into the BIOS using the
Del or F2 key at boot.

Hi there .. You have USB Bios Flashback on your Motherboard ..

Simple Plug & Press - Hardware-based BIOS Flashback
A truly revolutionary hardware-based update solution. USB BIOS Flashback offers the most convenient way ever to update the BIOS! It allows users to update new UEFI BIOS versions even without hardware such as a CPU or DRAM installed into the motherboard. Just plug in a USB flash drive containing the BIOS file, and press the BIOS Flashback button for 3 seconds with the power supply connected. The UEFI BIOS will then automatically update without requiring further interaction. With its new, complementary Windows application, users can regularly check for UEFI BIOS updates and download the latest BIOS automatically. Hassle-free updating for the ultimate convenience!

Very easy to follow procedures, thank you. As I was waiting your reply, I did try the Stress Tests suggested earlier in this thread. Ran the GPU Stress Test flawlessly. I then started the Torture Test for the CPU following the guide. BSOD as it started. Rebooted and tried it again. Same thing, Blue Screen as the test starts.

I am currently uploading my Memory.dmp file via Dropbox. Says it still needs atleast 1 hour to complete (thanks to my slow internet connection).

So I'll wait for it to complete the upload, make a follow-up post with it attached and then try updating my BIOS.

Thank you all for now, I'll be back later.

Here's the MEMORY.dmp file. Maybe you GURU's can tell me what causes the Processors to crash when I try to run a torture test.

I will now try updating my BIOS.
Merry Christmas to all and thank you so far.

EDIT: Cannot update my BIOS as of right now because I cant find my small USB drive. And my 64gb is apparently too big to format to FAT32.

Been having quite a bit of trouble booting since Blue Screens. Computer boots very slowly and where the desktop should appear is only a blank (black) screen with moveable mouse cursor. May take a few reboots in order to get the the actual working desktop. Waiting on advices.

 

[Maesen]

Still having BSODs when "applying" some stress to the CPU. Like playing games with internet browser open and multitasking.

Hi Maesen. Please wait for some time? YoYo155 will check your files at his first chance.

No problem, just reporting everything. Who knows, maybe it could help anyone else that might have my problem someday.

I've started the download now .

Right you are the more information given, the better.

Alright. Computer is not overclocked. I started by calculating the wattage and I am within the specs (needs 716w and have a 750w PSU).

I then downloaded Speccy and snapshot'd the temps (all were fine).

I decided to try updating the BIOS and Sata. Downloaded both but installed the Sata first. Rebooted. Computer stuck on Welcome screen for 15mins. Rebooted. Windows loads the desktop but no icon and mouse is "loading" for 10mins. Rebooted. Got to desktop only to crash with a BSOD a couple of seconds later. Rebooted again but only got a black screen after the Welcome screen.

Now I am in safe mode and will try clearing the startup menu.

What is the make, model and age of your PSU?
That is too borderline for my liking, you have a power hungry CPU and not a low-end GPU.
Apart from those you have a Black series HDD along with another which Google didn't recognize
so maybe you can shed some more light as to what model is your 2TB HDD? (WDC WD20 02FAEX-007BA0).

What other components might be drawing "a lot" of power?

Did you test the HDD's in some way?
Do you have a different GPU you can try?

 

[YoYo155]

Well at the moment it looks to be a hardware fault.
The only 3rd party software I can see might be involved is the nVidia driver and NOD32,
but that doesn't explain why it bugcheck while under load it does however coincide with the
borderline PSU as I mentioned above :\ .

You might try to stop using Malwarebytes and Eset for the time being as a troubleshooting procedure.

• If you do decide to Uninstall NOD32 you may try Microsoft Security Essentials.

I reiterate do you have a "weaker" GPU to test with?

Hi Yoyo. My PSU is a Corsair CX750M. It is about 1 year old or less.

My 2TB Hard Drive is a Western Digital Caviar Black. I did not test any of the HDDs for errors or anything.

I might have an old GPU somewhere to try, but would it really change anything? I ran the FurMark test and didnt have any artifacts (I could rerun it as I forgot what were the temps on it).

Also, the BSODs started as I reinstalled Malwarebytes. Should I try not running the program and testing or completely uninstall it? I have been using NOD32 for years so I dont think it is the cause.

Thank you sir,
Maesen

Hi! and thanks for the added info .
By asking for a "weaker" GPU I was looking to lower the Wattage draw of the system, have you
stress it again and compare.
The dump show that cores 2 and 3 were frozen so don't have information as to what they were doing
this type of bugcheck can go both ways Hardware / Software, I simply opted to test the hardware
side first mainly because of the Wattage draw of your system versus your PSU's capabilities
along with the fact that it bugchecks at will when stressed, that is if I got the right impression?

I you feel that the issues have started adjacent to the installation of Malwarebytes, by all means uninstall
it you have nothing to lose really, you can always reinstall once we're done here .

Good news! Since you told me Malwarebytes was concerned by the crashes, I stopped it in the Processes. I tried running Prime95 again and it is torturing my CPU, but no crash so far! Been over an hour now.

I will use my computer as I'd do normally and come back to give you guys a heads up on how it is. If no BSOD, Malwarebytes was the culprit causing the crashes. I believe its the "Realtime Protection" from the program that causes all this trouble. Anyway I closed the whole program and so far the CPUs are handling the torture tests without issues.

Thank you so far, I'll be back for report soon.

Been 2 days of BSOD free! Apparently, Malwarebytes was causing it. Was it the real-time protection? Havent verified yet. I completely closed Malwarebytes and havent launched it since then.

So I believe this problem is solved. As to why would Malwarebytes cause the crashes, that is another question.

Thank you all who helped me troubleshoot this issue,
I wish you an awesome new year,
Maesen.

I don't think we've seen a case here where Malwarebytes is responsible for a BSOD, so you might want to keep monitoring your system......

Okay. What do you propose next?

 

[Golden]

Just keep monitoring your system. If you get a new BSOD, upload it here again.

Alright. We are a few months later and today it started again. I got about 8 BSODs in 4 hours. All were the same that I had 6 months ago.

I still hadnt used Malwarebytes since then and today I thought it coulda had a service up or something but no so I completely uninstalled it. Didnt solve it. I did all the Windows Updates, I updated Graphics driver, ran CCleaner. Scanned with SuperAntiSpyware.

Nothing did whatsoever. So, would any of you, please, help me resume where we left. I can supply any infos you need. I just need to be remembered how to send anything (minidumps, Speccy screens, etc).

Thank you all in advance,
Maesen

EDIT: I did not install any new programs today or last week so I dont really understand why it started doing BSODs again. Also, my boot time has been really slowing down lately. Takes a good 3 mins to boot (hangs on the Starting Windows par). If it matters.

Gimme a few mins, I did manage to get the software to do its thing then decided to reboot cuz computer was acting wayyy too slow. Now it wont boot. I get a BSOD at startup and I am prompted to go into recovery mode. And when I do so, the screens hangs blank.

I'll give it an hour to load since I have read it sometimes takes this long. If it is still blank, then idk.
