Occasional BSOD / freeze

Nothing useful in the dump again, rats!

Looking through the Event Viewer log, I see this was the last thing to happen before a BSOD.

Code:

The next thing I see is that a restart occurred, no shutdown.

When did you install Samsung Magician? I think it was to check the SSD firmware, right. Try uninstalling it for now.

Looking through your install programs, there are a lot, including some tweakers (ASUS Tweak being one).

Have you set all over clocking to normal? Are all voltages set to normal?
What anti-virus are you using?
Try disabling most if not all programs from auto starting at boot time.

Hi panmyxia,

Please follow the suggestions @Ztruker provides:
1. Uninstall all 3rd party AV programs and use Windows Defender while troubleshooting,
2. Install the RST from MSI

If you're overclocking something, revert back while troubleshooting.

Please remove ASUS & MSI programs while troubleshooting.

If you didn't yet, make sure the USB network adapter is in a different USB port than the previous USB network adapter.

Please remove all USB devices you don't need, all USB devices except for mouse, keyboard & USB network adapter.


While troubleshooting = the whole time until you say that you don't have a problem anymore.

RST does not have the version from MSI?

Before you installed the new USB network adapter, did you remove the program from the previous USB network adapter from your system?

What is the reason that your friend thinks it may be the SSD causing problems?

I'm not meaning to say MSI has a special version or something, just install the one MSI provides. Updated version aren't always the best onces.
