Hello there, I hope that someone can help me with this. It's been almost a year of random BSODs and random pc freezes and reboots. Sometimes I did not get any for a month and then I get multiple BSODs in one day as it has been doing lately. Before you ask I've tried everything (reinstalling some drivers, checking ram, cpu) but nothing has worked so far, I would like to know if it's a driver issue or a hardware issue, not yet sure about it. Here's the latest dmp file from this morning: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Aij3oYkfMlbekmsoI8uiQHZxGdef

If you need anything else pls tell me... hope someone will find a solution to a never ending issue...

    So this problem could be caused by an old bios version? I remember tha tlast year when the problem first started happening i updated the bios but didn’t make a difference (it was a year ago so don’t remember correctly) do you think this could really solve it?

    There were 5 mini dump files collected.

    The bugchecks were FC, 3B, and 139.

    There were no misbehaving drivers identified in the debugging.

    The logs reported possible problems with the firmware.

    The logs indicated the prior use of Windows Driver Verifier (WDV).

    1. Open administrative command prompt and copy and paste:

    msdt.exe -id WindowsUpdateDiagnostic

    msdt.exe -id PowerDiagnostic

    msdt.exe -id DeviceDiagnostic

    Memtest86 has a feature to create text reports.

    If possible, please include the text reports with the images in the share links.

    1. The logs displayed the prior use of Windows Driver Verifier (WDV)

    Pending the results of Memtest86 plan to use the tool later in this thread. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/5470-enable-disable-driver-verifier-windows-10-a.html

    thank you. i would like to add a little background story. So this issue started about late june last year, I remember I was messing with overclocking my cpu and ram but as soon as i noticed issue with the system i returned to bios optimized default settings. The issue then came and went a couple of times a week/month, it was very random happening sometimes a couple of times a day and then didn't happen for a month straight. A couple of days ago i realized I didn't turn off the ram xmp profile so i did thinking it would solve the bsods but it didn't... one strange thing that happened was that as soon i turned off the xmp profile and rebooted windows bsod happened when launching windows (never had that when booting up). but then it settled itself and kept happening at random times only at idle (NOT when gaming). In july last year I even reinstalled windows (without deleting personal files) so at this point I'm thinking everything has something to do with me messing up something in the bios (even though now everything is default). Could it be that i "broke" the ram? I ran memtest and windows memory tool and they did not say anything about ram faults, all was good. Could it be the PSU? Hope this adds a more complete explanation of the issue and really pray I'll find a way to end this drama
