MrTryfe I looked at your dump file and it says

Code:

Use !analyze -v to get detailed debugging information.

I'm sure you know that is your AMD graphics driver and this is your current version

Code:

start             end                 module name

If I may, I would like to try to give you some suggestions on reinstalling your graphics driver, but at this point I am not sure what works with windows 10. I would give it a try anyway. I assume you also know that AMD has had a lot of driver problems with Windows 10 so far.

I am going to give you some links that will help you get a good clean install and not have any drivers you don't need that will conflict with other drivers. Download a WHQL driver from https://www.tenforums.com/drivers-har...dows-10-a.html . Once you have them downloaded, uninstall you current driver from control panel. next clean up any left over drivers from following this tutorial http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...nstalling.html and select only ATI Display Drivers. After you have done that and rebooted, install the new driver, only select custom install and install only what you have to. Very few people need most of what they include. You do not need the audio/HDMI drivers as you already have that in your Motherboard drivers. Unless there is some reason you need them, the only thing you really need is the Display Driver. These links are for Windows 7 and they work with that, but it's worth a try. Maybe we both can learn something.

If everyone else would start their own thread it would cut down on the confusion.

Hey Essenbe.

Yeah, I did some debugging myself, and figured out it was the AMD driver for my HD6950. I've taken all the necessary steps to insure a clean install with the new Windows 10 drivers, and PC has been running BSOD free for nearly 9 hours now.

Thanks a lot for your input.

It was me that said I was sorry to hijack :) Thanks for the info.

I really appreciate that this has worked for you and I assume I have the same issue. Is there a way that you could help me with some instructions to do this for someone who is fairly unfamiliar with the workings of the computer? I'm a broke college kid and am pretty sure it has to do with drivers and most likely the AMD drivers. I just don't know how to go about debugging that. I've run virus scans and disk cleanup and disk defragment and so on, but I could use some help on more technical steps.
