Please install the latest updates from Windows Update and run chkdsk /r and sfc /scannow

Do the exact same steps again but type in chkdsk /r instead of sfc /scannow

Windows has finished checking your disk.
Please wait while your computer restarts.

sfc /scannow did not find any integrity violations.
(Ran it twice)

Should I do something else?

 

[HugoJ]

Well, there goes another sudden crash.:huh:

Edit: Updated Bios to latest version.

 

[Golden]

Well, there goes another sudden crash.:huh:

Where is the ZIP file for that latest crash??? Or do you expect us just to guess?

 

[HugoJ]

My bad, I do apologize

Please note that the system did not produce a BSOD
Just was an instant restart

Additional information. Since Bios update (12 hours ago) there were no crashes

 

[Golden]

OK. Run Driver Verifier to see if the system stays stable.

Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.

Driver Verifier will cause your computer to run very sluggishly - this is normal. What it is trying to do is force your system to BSOD and isolate the offending driver/s. When it does, reboot, disable driver verifier, reboot as normal and upload the new dmp file/s here.

I recommend creating a system restore point before turning on driver verifier:

If your system fails to boot to desktop once driver verifier is enabled, turn it off by booting into Safe Mode:

24 hs since the activation of drver verifier. No BSOD or crashes.
looks like by updating bios (in this case) solve the problem, am i correct?
yh

 

[Golden]

Yes. Very likely the BIOS update solved the issue.

 

[HugoJ]

Not quite.
I got home today and the pc didnt respond (black screen)

Had to force reset
Driver verifier was disabled since my last post

im attaching .dmps

 

[HugoJ]

I had to re-enable Driver Verifier due to isolated BSODs and crashes.

Here is my last .dmp which contains 2 BSOD while DV was enabled.

.dmp file was created with DV disabled.

Hope this helps in solving this.

 

[HugoJ]

I cant figure out why no new minidumps were generated. I can assure that 2 BSOD happened today, so why they are not present in dm log collector log file? I have looked in windows/minidump without being able to find them
Start up and recovery settings are set to write an event log, write debbugging information to Kernel memory dump and disable automatic restart upon failure

 

[Golden]

Are you running CCleaner on a schedule? if so, don't - it deletes .dmp files.

Try Driver verifier again.

 

[HugoJ]

No, CCleaner is not on a Schedule.

While Driver verifier was enabled the system hangs several times without any BSOD.
Suddenly, after a certain crash a BSOD appears while windows was starting. (desktop load)
This Behavior was repeated 4 times with 4 BSOD, so i had to boot in safe mode and disable DV. unfortunately, it did not generate any .dmp file (I can´t understand this)

I am attaching screenshots of BSODs and ZIP file in case they are usefull.

 

[Golden]

Run a minimum of 8 consecutive passes, preferably overnight, or until errors occur using MemTest86+.

Reference:

[HugoJ]

9 passes were successfully passed.

 

[HugoJ]

Still having this BSODs..
Nothing has changed since March, 16 (last dump file), cant figure out why no new .dmp are generated

 

[Golden]

Since we have eliminated the obvious reasons for no .dmp files, the issue must lie with the system then.

Counterfeit installations such as yours contains heavily modified code that causes the installation to behave it unexpected ways. Analysing BSOD's and determining their causes on these sorts of installations is very unreliable.

My recommendation is to start with a clean slate, and install a genuine version of Windows. This will minimise the problems you are experiencing, and make subsequent diagnosis of BSOD's far more reliable.
