Multiple BSOD since early March - 0000000000008886, ffffffffffffff8b

[fescozz]

I've been experiences numerous, seeming random BSOD since late Fubruary/early March. It seems like the BCP code is different for every one. They can happen during "heavy" use, and they can happen when the PC is idle. There seems to be no pattern that I can detect. Thank you.

Hi fescozz.

Test your RAM modules for possible errors.

Run memtest for at least 8 passes, preferably overnight.
If it start showing errors/red lines, stop testing. A single error is enough to determine that something is going bad there.

Hello. Thanks for the fast reply. Below are my answers to the questions you've asked which I can respond to immediately.

Q1: Check if the Power Supply Unit (PSU) supplying adequate power to the computer or not.

A1: The EPSC you linked to rates me at 300W min. I am using the original 365W PSU that came with the PC.

Q2: Is the computer hot?

A2: No. I've never had a problem with heat.

Q3: Are you using nvidia chipset drivers?

A3: No, I'm using the Intel Q35 drivers, Rev. A2

I've attached a Speccy screenshot, per your request. I had to ZIP it to post.

I'll post again after performing the additional steps and tests per your instructions.

Thanks again,

Fred S.

I am using the original 365W PSU that came with the PC.

That is inadequate. Even though the reported usage is lower that the capacity.

I would suggest you to get a new one of at least 600 watts.

That's easy enough to address. I'll get on it.

Thank you for your suggestion.
