Finally got my computer working again last week, but alas it was not to last. I've been having various BSOD's since a few days ago, and I can't seem to nail down what the problem is. Here's what BlueScreenView has to say about it:

It seems that ntoskrnl.exe is the common denominator in all of them, though NTFS.sys failed as well in the third dump file from the top.

Things I've tried:

  • Driver updates
  • Windows recovery to before the problems started
  • Windows memory diagnostic, no errors
  • sfc /scannow, but it finishes WAY too quickly so I'm not convinced it's actually doing anything
  • Using furmark to burn test both the gpu and cpu at the same time, it gets pretty toasty but no insability of bsod so far.

Any ideas? My main problem right now is that I have no way to induce the BSOD, it just sort of...happens sometimes. So it's a bit difficult to test individual solutions.

thats a ram error

so try a ram reseat. Then a cpu reseat.

I could use some help with this!

please, pm me if you would like to contribute to my gpu bios database (includes overclocking bios, stock bios, and upgrades to gpus via modding)

Thats not a ram error. It can be caused by a unstable CPU too.

Sorry, forgot to mention I did a memory diagnostic already. And considering I had no problems with it for a week I doubt it's a hardware problem with the cpu. I'll keep it in mind as a last resort though.

I am not sure if you read your own post. Since when suggesting someone to re-seat a CPU also means your CPU is unstable?

A CPU re-seat is one troubleshooting step to help an unstable CPU.

Reseating a CPU does nothing to help a CPU that isnt getting enough voltage or overheating.

I'm doing a burn test on gpu and cpu at the same time right now, no trouble yet. Most of the times it bluescreened was during gaming, but it's also happened while playing a youtube video in the background or doing nothing while I looked at my phone, so I don't think it's stress or thermal related.
