So my system started failing a few weeks back. Either locking up or rebooting. Sometimes I'd get a BSOD. Sometimes I'd have serious graphical glitches. Seems to occur more when playing games, watching movies or surfing. Sometimes I can't boot at all without an immediate BSOD. Other times I can run the system fine but it freezes or slows down hugely. I seem to be able to run it in safe mode with networking no prob.
Here are some of the things I've tried in the last while:
-Re-format of C: partition and fresh install of Windows.
-Pulled all hardware components from case, cleaned and re-seated everything.
-Memtest on Ram for 5+ passes.
-Hard drive tests.
-Booted with each ram stick individually.
-Uninstalled/reinstalled drivers.
-Checked temps.
As far as I understand ntoskrln.exe is a windows program that has to do with managing memory? Ram, hard drives and GPU memory?
Any help would be much appreciated.
