I would get a black screen for a few moments, before the computer just restarts. No BSOD, no screen tearing or strange noises from the case, no indication whatsoever that it was about to restart. So I started trying to figure out what was wrong. Using Bluescreenviewer and WhoCrashed? I found out that it was a 0x124 error citing the ntoskrnl at fault. Reading online, it seemed that this was generally caused by either a thermal issue, hardware problem or in some cases driver problems.
I started updating everything I could. Graphics drivers, mouse drivers, keyboard drivers, BIOS drivers, etc. Still got the restarts. They seemed to be appearing only when I was playing games (don't use this particular PC for much else, so took a while to realize), so I decided to check thermal issues. Using MSI Afterburner and CPU-Z, I found that my CPU was never reaching any significant heat (my Hyper 212 EVO keeps it under or around 40C even under heavy load), and that while my graphics card got hot, it never went beyond 70, so it didn't seem to be a thermal issue there.I ran memtest86 to try to identify ram issues, and it came back, after a night of running, clean. I did a dskcheck /r, and while it took a bit of time, it too came back alright. In order to truly rule out driver issues, i reinstalled windows 10, and still it kept happening.
I read online that there was a chance that the power supply could be acting up. Since I had been meaning to update my graphics card, and needed a new power supply to go with it, I decided to do that. I plugged in my new PSU, and my new GPU, and it went fine for about a day or two before the restarting resumed. I tried playing with the case side open, to truly rule out cooling issues, and it still restarted. I moved the computer, and plugged it straight into the wall because I had a suspicion that maybe the extra cable wasn't giving it enough juice, but it still restarted.
I'm now at my wits end. I've tried everything I can think of. My new GPU never goes to high temps, my CPU seems to be running fine, I haven't found any ram memory problems, my new PSU can't be to blame, and so I don't know whats left.
Tl;dr
Restarts started after some inactive time. Seems to be a 0x124 bsod error
Tried the following:
-update all drivers
-update BIOS
-re-roll to previous versions of graphics drivers
-re-install windows 10
-purchase new PSU and GPU
-memtest86 came back ok
-dskcheck /r came back ok
-tried playing with side off
MSI never shows the CPU or GPU going into any dangerous territory in terms of temps.
Upgraded from Windows 8.1 Pro to 10 Pro. I think I took care of the update bug so I don't believe it is the issue.
Updated GForce Drivers after using DisplayDriverUninstaller. SSD C: Drive firmware updated. Ran Memtest86+ on each stick for 8 passes with no errors. Updated audio drivers. Updated network drivers. Updated SATA drivers. Ran Windows Defender Full Scan with no findings. Ran Malwarebytes Full Scan with no findings.
It happens when I play games. I ran one 3DMark test with no issues. Ran it again and it reset as it normally does. I ran Furmark for 5 mins with no issue.
I have been fighting with my computer for about four weeks now, and I am not getting anywhere. In a nutshell, my computer started to randomly shut down and seldom reboot. There are no specific patterns I notice, except that when I try to find out what's going on the random reboots/shut downs happen more frequently (3-5 time per hour). When I just use the computer, it lasts longer without any issues. I may get between 1-4 hours. No BSOD and no error.
Now when the computer shuts down, it is a hard shut down. It is as if I turned off the power button from the PSU itself and turned it back because when I turn the computer back on, it turns on briefly and shuts down again, turns on again, beeps the all things okay beep, and boots to window. It is worth noting that this behavior started happening without adding any new hardware, software, or driver.
Here's what I have done so far to try to ameliorate/diagnose the issue.
1) I reset the PC - Here's my post on that issue if you want to take a look. 2) I did a clean install - (truly clean install). 3) I boot into the Bios, and it stills reboot/shut down (this causes me to suspect a hardware issue, but what?). 4) I open the case and ensure that everything is properly seated on the MOBO. 5) I cleaned out the PC of dust 6) My temperatures are normal, no overheating going on. 7) I ran ad-ware/spyware check - nothing has been found. 8) I ran a virus check (yes, with windows defender) - nothing came up. I don't think it's a virus since the problem continues even after a clean install. 9) It's not a lack of power issue. My PSU is 1000W and I am not using that much power. 10) I did a stress test for over an hour, and everything was normal (this causes me to doubt it is a hardware problem). 11) I am sure I have done more than the before mentioned steps, but I can't remember them all.
At this point, I suspect my issue might be hardware related; however, I really do not know what this could be, and I do not want to start buying new hardwares (i.e. PSU) without knowing what the issue really is, particularly when it endured a stress test without any issues. I thought of applying a thermal paste/grease on the CPU, but since I am not overheating I don't think that's necessary. So, I am at a lost on what my next steps should be. I am not savvy enough on reading memory dumps files... my computer is not generating any of those files anyway. But I know I can force my computer to generate them.
I have fresh installed Win 10 x64 on my HP ProBook 450, yet every now and then it freezes with only the mouse cursor movable and then restarts the laptop. I though it was the upgrade from Win 8.1 but the same thing happens after a fresh install. HP have confirmed that they have some issues with Windows 10 on their machines.
I wasn't quick enough to note down the full error as Windows did a crash dump, but I did notice the offending file was an Atheros driver. This was confirmed by Control Panel | Reliability Monitor
Source Windows Summary Shut down unexpectedly Date 24/11/2015 10:35 Status Report sent
[Code] ....
I've used the DM Log Collector to get the DMP file, but I'd quite like to study it myself, and send relevant parts to Alfa (who make the offending Wi-Fi adaptor with the Atheros chipset).
I have a fresh install of Windows 10 Home on a factory built PC (Chillblast) that was running OK under Windows 7, but is now Blue Screening on Windows 10.When I boot the PC from cold about 1/3 of the time it will blue screen. The messages vary. Sometimes it will say IRQL Not less or Equal, or Page fault in non-paged area, or Memory Management.
The messages always happen pretty much at the exact second that you would normally get the logon box up. It never Blue screens when I'm actually using the computer, even if I'm hitting it hard with games. It also never blue screens on a reboot. Only when it's booting from power complete power down.I suspect that it's software rather than hardware, maybe a driver?
The only message in the logs is that the computer as recovered from an unexpected shutdown. It rarely creates Dump rile.I thought that it might be bad RAM. I have two 8GB chips. Both are the original chips that the computer was sold with. If I try with one chip in it runs perfectly. It doesn't matter which chip, or which slot the chip is in. It runs perfectly with all combinations. If I put them both in 1/3 of the time BSOD.
I've run Memtest86+ and it didn't find any problems. I've also run the System File Checker and it didn't find anything.As this is a fresh install I don't have much loaded. It started blue screening with only the basic software needed to run my hardware, and an Anti-Virus (Avira) loaded.
Windows 10 is installed on a totally new disc, straight out of the box (Sandisk SSD).Other than the hard disk and a soundcard, the PC is pretty much a factory build, with a factory configured motherboard. It's not overclocked, and I haven't tinkered with it.Before I installed Windows 10, I occasionally had a Stop 0X000008a error, but I don't know if that's relevant or not as it was a different OS on a different hard disk.
Windows 10 created a new crashdump file called ShellExperienceHost.exe.3708 in my AppData/local/Crashdumps folder, how to read one of these dump files or what this one means to me?
I am running Windows 10 (64-bit), but this problem also occurred on 8.1 and 7 (both 64-bit) with clean installations. I am also dual booting Ubuntu Studio 15.04, but more on that later.
When I boot my PC into 10, I have up to ten minutes before my PC either resets forcefully by itself, or freezes and never recovers. When I check the Minidump folder afterwards nothing is there.
I have replaced both my CPU (amd fx-6300) and PSU (corsair cx500m), and tested my RAM (with both sticks or just one), but none of that has fixed the problem.
My BIOS settings are at their defaults, no over/underclocking or over/undervolting at all.
The odd thing is, Ubuntu Studio runs fine with no crashes as far as I can see *EDIT: NOT THE CASE* , but if there was a software problem surely there would be a dump file?
I built a pc last week and I get the BSOD after a few minutes of playing any game I try. I only have the last dump file I got because the BSOD before the last wouldn't let me start my pc in safe mode or restore to a previous date so I had to reinstall windows 10. Here is my dump file, I know how to open it but I don't know how to analyze it and figure out what is causing the BSOD here is my build shadybk - Saved Part Lists - PCPartPicker
On my system, I have Automatically Restart set in the system failure but when it BSOD's, it says that the system will restart after the dump but it appears it just stays at the blue screen without restarting even after an hour on atleast 3 occasions since I've upgraded to Win10 from Win7 Home Premium on August 11, 2015, the system is able to restart and shutdown normally.
When I try to dump the stack I input the command dps ffffd00026876000 ffffd00026870000. The two values are my base and limit values. I tripple checked them many times.
However everytime I input that command I get an error message saying
"^ Range error in 'dps ffffd00021787000 ffffd00021781000"...
My computer is crashing constantly, and its gotten to a point where its just very hard to use. It sometimes crashes 3 or 4 times a day, with crashes including blue screens, random restarts, complete power offs, and a combination of blue screen and mid blue screen it turns off. I've manually removed software, used malware scanners, cleared data, but nothing so far has worked.
My computer is the CyberPower GUA880, with the single modification of an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti graphics card.
I've a Dell XPS 15 9550 (512GB SSD PCIe) that gives me a BSOD after at least two hours of uptime. It doesn't create any dump, it only gives me the error on the BSOD critical_process_died. I alredy tried to do various clean install of the OS redownloaded a lot of times and to set from BIOS the drive to RAID in AHCI with various manually installed driver without any result.. I don't know what can I do anymore..
Over the past 2 days I have experienced 4 (2 each day) shut downs and reboots. All while the PC has been idle for sometime while I'm working on another PC in the same room. Event log screen is attached but the bug check tab has no values.
The system is on a UPS and there have been no hardware changes in several months. I'm on Build 1150, V10586.11. Attached is the dump of the log files as well.
My laptop keeps freezing randomly, and seconds later it restarts itself. I'm pretty sure this problem started when i upgraded to windows 10. It use to happen every once in awhile but now it happens several times a day while i am on a browser or doing anything on the computer. I barely have anything installed on it and its fairly new, i bought it earlier this year. I did a scan with AVG and nothing showed up. It doesn't heat up either. I also updated windows 10 to its latest version and also updated the AMD drivers as well. Should i try to reinstall windows 10?
This is the laptop i have: ASUS Laptop R510DP-WH11 AMD A10-Series A10-5750M (2.50 GHz) 8 GB Memory 1 TB HDD AMD Radeon HD 8670M 15.6" Windows 8.1 64-Bit
I have an ASUS Desktop PC M11AD Series computer with an Intel core i5. I am running windows 10 Home on my computer and ever since I got Windows 10, It has been randomly restarting. It will restart while doing simple tasks, like using Google Chrome, or using Skype. I have tried to monitor what apps cause the restarts, but it is extremely random. I upgraded my computer 2-3 weeks ago, and it is starting to get on my nerves. I have switched my browser to Microsoft Edge and it has been working fine.
When this occurs, my computer will freeze for about 5-10 seconds, and then it will to a regular restart. Sometimes when it boots back up it says "Windows is updating" and sometimes nothing. I have disabled auto updates on my computer and I just can't seem to find the problem. Sometimes it will freeze in chunks like 3 seconds, it works for 1 second and then 4 seconds and then restarts. My friend also has Windows 10, but his doesn't restart. I can't find out what build I'm on, and I upgraded when Windows said I could upgrade.
Recently my PC has been restarting after around an hour, when playing any graphically intensive games.-It has never crashed when just using the internet, idle etc. Only when playing games has it happened.-I have tested the RAM, CPU, GPU using benchmarking and HDD is an SSD.-I have tried a clean install of Windows 10.-My OS and drivers are up to date.-I also monitored my temps when in game and they are running normal when the crash happens.The system will hang for a few seconds and my headphones give off a loud buzzing. The PC will then restart after a few seconds but none of the fan or component lights go off like it is losing power.
Yesterday (12/7/15) I got on steam to play some games with a friend and about 5 seconds into starting CS:GO my computer screen turns black, and it restarts, with no error/crash message.
Earlier today I got fed up with this so I decided to wipe my computer and do a clean install of Win.10 but the problem still persists. I mean the computer runs really quickly now, but the second I play any game, or compress anything it crashes, and restarts.
Keep getting these bsod error messages called Kernel_security_check_failure then my computer restarts it happens almost two to three times a day!

I upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7 home last week. However, today, while I was playing with my PS4, my PC randomly got 2 BSOD with in 3 minutes time frame. I was not using my PC. It was turned on, idling. After the first BSOD, the PC restarted and within 3 min another BSOD.I ran Memtest and Prime95, and played GTA 5 without any failures.

I'm having a lot of issues with a system I recently assembled. Apps like Word, Outlook and Firefox are randomly crashing, BSODs from time to time, and the PC sometimes crashes directly after sleep-mode.
I've tried the following:
-clean install -updating bios -replacing mobo -replacing psu -ran memtest; no errors -removed nvidia card, just onboard graphics; no difference
