New PC, developed BSOD issues within first couple days

[R4VEN]

Hey all,

I've just recently finished a new build and I have been getting, as far as I can tell, random BSOD errors. The first OS on my machine was Windows 7 (which was getting BSODs from time to time), so I upgraded to Windows 10 to see if that would change anything. If I recall correctly, I didn't have any errors whatsoever during that period. Eventually I went back to Windows 7 due to personal preferences, and the BSOD errors came back with it.

From the research myself and my roommates have done so far, we think it might be a hard drive related issue, though potentially it could be related to RAM as well. Any help would greatly appreciated!

The single dump in your logs is a 0x1A which is usually down to a device driver or RAM, unfortunately the dump is partially corrupt and there's not a lot I can read from it. The one thing that is showing looks like it's pointing to your GPU.

Your nVidia driver looks up to date, so follow the GPU stress test below. This is partial guesswork here don't forget given the single dump is corrupt.

:ar: Run Furmark to stress test your GPU. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/100356-video-card-stress-test-furmark.html

   Note

Run Furmark for around 30 minutes.

   Warning

Your GPU temperatures will rise quickly while Furmark is running. Keep a keen eye on them, if the temperature continues to rise steadily once it has reached 80°C be prepared to stop the test so as to not damage your GPU.

Hey Boozad!

Thanks for the response. I ran Furmark for 30 minutes, GPU temp didn't go over 70 and there were no artifacts that I could see. Is there a way for me to convert the log to a format that's supported in the upload tool, or is that file not necessary? I've also attached a picture of a previous BSOD (in other words not the most recent one, so they may be different issues at this point). I don't know if it helps, but on the restart after most of the BSOD occurrences, instead of booting to Windows I get a black screen that says "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device."

Thanks again!

Can you run the DM Log Collector again to grab the latest dump please and attach it to you next post. A 0x7A could be down to a number of things.

:ar: Run SeaTools to check the integrity of your HDD (Do not use on an SSD). http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/313457-seatools-dos-windows-how-use.html

:ar: Run chkdsk. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/433-disk-check.html

:ar: When booted into Windows open an elevated command prompt, type in sfc /scannow and hit enter.

 

[R4VEN]

Hey Boozad,

I ran all of the tests available in SeaTools and the HDD passed them all. Disk check and scan also didn't turn up anything suspicious. I've attached another zip from the log collector to this message, thanks again for your time!

 

[Boozad]

The last dump in the logs is dated the 20th which I believe I've already looked over. Can you post up new logs following any subsequent BSODs.

 

[R4VEN]

Hey gang, back again

Still having issues here, just haven't been using the PC much due to my current schedule. To comment on Boozad's previous post, I wasn't able to produce another BSOD in a timely manner. Now however they seem to be more frequent. Some more symptoms I've discovered that may or may not be related:

-Computer seems to BSOD when several things are going on. Game, 10+ tabs in Chrome, +1-2 other lighter programs
-Computer powers back on after shutdown. Typically just once.
-Computer will resume out of sleep mode without being provoked
-Just recently, computer now errors out when launching some applications. My stored Chrome data like logins and whatnot has been forgotten

I've run the DM Log Collector after my most recent BSOD and attached it here.

Thanks again in advance guys, really appreciate any and all feedback here.
