Solved random constant BSOD

[pandora669]

I have been getting the BSOD for a few weeks now. When it started it was just once every few days but now its very constant. A few days ago I backed everything up and did a system restore (the kind that doesn't delete all your stuff). My computer would not complete the restore it kept telling me to insert a boot device and that I didn't have a hard drive. I pulled the battery and when I put it back it started windows like normal. I tried again and it did the same thing. I eventually factory reset my computer, but it didn't help. The BSOD was then happening like every three minutes. I installed updates for the computer and ran the check disk program. Everything was fine for like a day. This morning when I turned my computer on it again told me that I didn't have a hard drive, but found it again after I removed and replaced the battery. I have run several memory and hard drive tests that all come back normal. Even the one in bios comes back normal except this morning, and the two times I tried to system restore.

Hello and welcome Pandora mate one test on the hard drive you can run is a physical surface one with Partition Wizard see pic Best Free Partition Manager Freeware and free partition magic for Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Vista and Windows XP 32 bit & 64 bit. MiniTool Free Partition Manager Software Home Edition.

I forgot to ask but is it very noisy and also you could run Speccy for the temps in the machine too

Speccy - Download

Pandora have you tried running the machine with the battery left out? Might be worth a try.

If you can run these and see if any errors come up too and it might be worth doing these in safe mode

Thank you guys for your help... I don't know why but the bsods just stopped on their own. I have no idea what it was or why it happened...
