I have been a experiencing BSOD for over a month now. It seems to only happen when my PC is idle for >20 minutes. Taking a peak with BlueScreenView the problem seems to be with ntoskrnl.exe but I really do not know how to interrupt these results and come to a solution so I am reaching out to Seven Forums for some help. Although ntoskrnl.exe is the most common to appear there are a variety of error messages. Attached is the data collected by SF Diagnostic, hopefully this includes all the information we need to troubleshoot these BSODs.
A few extra notes:
I was having Blue Screens a few months back that also seemed to trigger when the PC was idle for some time, or when booting. Since then, I reformatted my OS drive and for a while I did not experience any Blue Screens; however, the problem seems to have returned. This immediately leads me to believe that is it a hardware issue. (but I am no professional troubleshooter)
When I recently was cleaning my custom built PC I noticed something particular about my RAM. I am running 8GB (4x2GB) all the same brand and model, however, these sticks were purchased at different times as I felt like I needed more RAM. I noticed that two of my sticks run at 1.80v while the other two run at 1.90v. I have no idea if this information is relevant but I thought it was worth mentioning. The sticks are all Corsair XMS2 series stick, but they have different "version" numbers. I currently have the 1.80v sticks paired in dual channel with each other and the 1.90v paired in dual channel with each other.
I look forward to any response and hopefully solving these annoying Blue Screens.
Thanks,
