BSODs and black screens

[kokon]

Hi guys,

I have this PC for about half a year and since beginning it had BSOD like once a week but now it has worsened significantly. it has BSOD like once a day but several times a day something that I call "black screen", basically the whole screen goes black and you can still hear the sounds for about 30s (so the PC is not completely dead) but than it dies and you have to do hard restart. My suspicion is that it occurs under high load, as it happens almost only when I play games, and especially in very demanding ones.

Uploading a dump from DM log collector.

last BSOD is from today 18,46, when I did stress testing (P95+FurMark running at the same time). Crashed after 50min.

Thanks so much!

Test your RAM modules for possible errors.

How to Test and Diagnose RAM Issues with Memtest86+

If there is no error, enable Driver Verifier to monitor the drivers.

Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable
​

   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.

Hi,

- what specs do you want to know?

- yep windows has all the important updates

- Ive ran the memtest and everything seems fine after 8 passes no errors

- Enabled the driver verifier, after almost a day a "black screen" as described above occured. Attaching dump from DM.

Thanks!

All of your Specs Please.

Your Ram is fine thats good.

Its still pointing to a memory corruption, Download a HDD tool from your manufactures website, and perform a full scan

- the main drive is SSD, so Ill try a firmware update. samsung doesnt offer any diagnostic tool afak what do you recommend to do? Samsung SSD (Solid State Drive) 840 series | Samsung SSD Website
