BSOD randomly... Custom Computer

[jpbirk13]

I've had my computer for several months now and it intermittently gets a BSOD. Sometimes it happens shortly after booting up, but other times it happens after I've been working for several hours. I cannot detect a discernible pattern. It is a custom built computer (specs filled in). I have very little experience troubleshooting these types of issues.

Thanks

Run memtest for at least 8 passes, preferably overnight.


If it comes free of problems, enable Driver Verifier to monitor the drivers.
Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable
Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.

   Information

Why Driver Verifier:
It puts a stress on the drivers, ans so it makes the unstable drivers crash. Hopefully the driver that crashes is recorded in the memory dump.

How Can we know that DV is enabled:
It will make the system bit of slow, laggy.

   Warning

Before enabling DV, make it sure that you have earlier System restore points made in your computer. You can check it easily by using CCleaner looking at Tools > System Restore.

If there is no points, make a System Restore Point manually before enabling DV.

   Tip

• If you fail to get on the Desktop because of DV, Boot into Advanced Boot Options > Safe mode. Disable DV there. Now boot normally again, and try following the instruction of enabling DV again.
• If you cannot boot in Safe mode too, do a System Restore to a point you made earlier.

Let us know the results, with the subsequent crash dumps, if any.
