    regular BSOD after upgrade to Win10


    I experience a very frequent BSODs. I've searched the inet for the symptom, everyone blames Alcohool 120%. I've never had it.

    I attach the system information file with 50 minidumps. I would be thankful if you could help me to identify the reason for these BSODS.

    Thanks in advance.

    First, remove all overclocking, set all clocks speeds back to default:

    CPUID: "Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4210U CPU @ 1.70GHz"
    MaxSpeed: 1700
    CurrentSpeed: 2394

    Run that way for awhile and see if the problem goes away. If so you can try overclocking again but do it in small increments.

    Dumps show Probably caused by : Unknown_Image ( ANALYSIS_INCONCLUSIVE )

    Overclocking can cause some weird errors.

    You are running your CPU @ 140% compared to your stock speed, that's a pretty decent overclock, do you OC with stock cooling?

    Well, I don't overclock... I run with default config supplied by Acer. When I checked the specs Intel Core™ i5-4210U Processor (3M Cache, up to 2.70 GHz) Specifications I can see it can be boosted to 2.7 Ghz so 2.3 GHz seems quite normal.
    Should I try with Turbo Boost disabled?

    I have another Haswell notebook by lenovo and I push it to Turbo Boost @3.5Ghz quite often w/o any issues.

    Don't worry about it, your CPU will go to a max of 2.7Ghz because that is the max frequency, the minimum is 1.7Ghz.
    If this wasn't the case then I was overclocking all the time without doing anything, my CPU reaches around 2.8Ghz a lot of times while you'll find on many places 2.0Ghz.
    But to the question about Turbo Boost, yes disable it. Software like Turbo Boost will push the CPU a little more what may cause trouble sometimes.
    Intel Core™ i5-4210U Processor (3M Cache, up to 2.70 GHz) Specifications
    Processor Base Frequency 1.7 GHz
    Max Turbo Frequency 2.7 GHz

    Do you have any recommendations on turbo boost disabling? The bios is pretty stripped. There is no option to disable TB there. I eneded up limiting CPU power to 99% in Windows 10 power plan. Any more advanced ways?

    A stripped BIOS is quite often the case with laptops, if you don't have any software installed that may push the CPU a bit then you don't have to do anything because there is nothing to do

    If I don't do anything, I assume I'll continue to get 2-3 BSODs/day . The whole point is about what I might do to stop them.

    My point was more that you don't have to do anything about the CPU frequency because it is either the CPU is faulty or it has nothing to do with it.

    Looking at your installation date you can't have no hotfixes installed, this is either due to a counterfeit installation (indirectly or directly) or a very improper installation. If it is a very improper installation, a sfc /scannow command should show corruption.
    Code:
        *:                   14.11.2015, 16:59:36
     *():                   /



    Diagnostics Test

     System File Check


    Please try following:
    • Open an admin command prompt
    • Copy/paste "sfc/scannow" (without quotes) and press enter
    • When it finished reboot your system
    • Open again an admin command prompt
    • Enter sfc/scannow again

    If sfc/scannow says "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them" after the second SFC, please upload the cbs.log file located at {windows partition}\Windows\Logs\CBS\, if the file is too large try a 3rd party uploader like dropbox, onedrive, google drive, mediafire etc.
    System File Check(SFC a.k.a. Windows Resource Protection) needs to have your system rebooted in order for sfc to try to fix the problems that it finds.

    I wonder why you believe I have no hotfixes installed (I assume you mean windows updates)? Update history shows the latest update is installed on the March 23rd 2016.

    I have run sfc /scannow from an admin command window - it haven't found any problems.
