Computer is BSODing almost constantly now after startup, ussually within 2-3 minutes. I have had problems BSODing on this computer before, but now it is almost completly unusable... Hoping it doesn't crash before I post this thread.. Ran SF diag tool.. please see attached.

Any help would be extremely appreciated. I am only a few frustrating crashes away from throwing this thing in a hole in the backyard and buying a Mac :(

Ive already ran the memram test and the others mentioned with no clues yet on whats happening.

The space on your hard-drive seems to getting quite low, I'm not entirely sure if thrashing will occur at this stage.

Could you post a screenshot of your Resource Monitor Memory tab? Make sure the windows is fully maximized.
Scan for any malware:
You may also want to perform some hard-drive tests, which we can provide you with after completing these steps.

Just to add - If you are overclocking please set back to default/stock, any overclocking will
result in decrease in stability.

Thanks for quick response Cipley. I clean booted, uninstalled Avast and attempted to run MSE full scan but crashed in the middle of it. (although it lasted much longer than previously). Going to try to run a full scan again as well as malware bytes.

Thanks Blue. How do I check the Resource Monitor Memory tab? Is that the same thing as Performance tab in task manager?
