Frequent BSOD issues, no clear cause identified
Frequent BSOD issues, no clear cause identified
Can we obtain details about your RAM setup? I've encountered problems with high-frequency overclocks not working properly because of unstable IMC on my R5 3600, which isn't very stable. You might try downloading Testmem5 and Anta777's configuration to test it out. It seems to be the most dependable for detecting short-term errors (though it may take a few passes). Memory access issues could also stem from poor drivers, but that feels like a risky move right now.
This update encountered two failures, and the BSOD displayed a special message about memory corruption. Usually, the current thread's stack trace will point to the responsible component. Here are the key details:
- Key Analysis.CPU.mSec: 4936
- Key Analysis.DebugAnalysisManager: Create
- Key Analysis.Init.CPU.mSec: 3046
- Key Analysis.Init.Elapsed.mSec: 9471
- Memory Peak: 107 MB
- Warnings: OS branch 0 (vb_release)
- Timestamp: 2019-12-06T14:06:00Z
- OS Version: 10.0.19041.1
File details:
- Name: 051122-15968-01.dmp
- Debug info: Key values and addresses were logged for analysis.
Debugging summary:
The system reported memory corruption in a special pool, suggesting a potential issue with the stack or heap. Further investigation is needed to pinpoint the exact cause.
OK, update is finally working! Events are still coming in but no BSODs yet (about 10 minutes so far). Spoiler: The app-specific permission settings don’t allow Local Launch for the COM Server app with those security IDs. User NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM SID is unavailable from LocalHost via LRPC. This permission can be adjusted through Component Services admin tool. Checking Windows Defender for any issues now.
I found these two items listed in the protection history. The issue is that I don’t have Utorrent installed. It worked before, but it’s not currently set up and there’s no saved data. I plan to delete the old executable from the downloads folder and then perform a thorough virus scan.
It seems there are no utorrent files, EXE or anything similar in my downloads. I double-checked for hidden items. Not sure how to proceed... I'm running a scan and hoping it catches something.
During the half-way point of the scan, I experienced another BSOD. I chose to restart and search for drivers. CCleaner indicated my PCI Express Root Complex was lagging, so I updated that. I’m not sure what it is, but I’ll keep trying tomorrow if it persists and I’ll run virus scans then too.
I'll try it when I get home. I'll finish the full system check tonight—no threats detected, the utorrent files issue is gone, and the computer feels better, though it's still slow. I haven't used it much yet to see if it keeps crashing, but it's not happening every hour anymore.
Here’s a revised version of your message:
I’ve made several changes lately, but nothing seems to work. Eventually, I reset Windows and kept my files intact. Unfortunately, that reset didn’t succeed. After noticing others on the same roadblock, I suspected the recent update caused the issue. I tried resetting again, and this time my computer felt much better. Now I just need to reinstall everything.
This situation gave me a solid reason to finally clean up my files and do backups—something I’ve been delaying. Honestly, it’s a good excuse to finally organize my storage and upgrade to a new SSD for my Steam library. Right now, my C drive uses a 1TB M.2 SSD, while my Steam library runs on a 1TB HDD. I’m considering switching to a decent 2TB SATA SSD for a smoother experience.
If you have any suggestions on the best brands for a simple 2TB SATA SSD, let me know!
