    1. run Ccleaner to clean the event logs so we cannot blame Steam when someone is half awake or sleepy,
    2. do not use Steam,
    3. reproduce the problem and
    4. upload a new zip from the DM Log Collector.


    NOTE: Steam cannot be active in the background!
    Alright, disabled steam at boot so it won't be in the background and cleaned out my current logs.

    I really don't know how to reproduce this bug, it comes and goes at random intervals. Usually only 1-2 times every week now.

    When happens I'll post here with a DM log asap.

    Sounds like a plan. :)

    No problem, that gives us time to find anything suspicious in the current logs that may be a cause :)

    Well.. I have a feeling it may be Mbam Premium.

    I turn on my computer and let it be for about 3 hours, using the internet/talking on skype/discord/playing flash games.

    After about that time I use steam and the bug is not reproduced for the remaining time in the day day. Before I shut down after a bug free day I always clean the log so you don't have to deal with the errors it creates from crashing games/forced exits..


    I think it may have something to do with Mbam Premium OR steam when it's enabled at startup.

    Should I enable one of the two to see if it appears? (I'l still give it some more time with both disabled just encase I'm getting lucky)

    Nothing for how long - a day or two? You could try enabling the MBAM Premium and see if anything happens, sure. Give it a few days to put everything through its paces.

    Well, it hasn't popped up still. Even with MBAM Premium re-enabled

    The following things could possibly be what fixed it.
    • New RAM (Upgraded from a slightly faulty one that occasionally crashes)'
    • Cleaned logs (There were a LOT of errors before I first cleaned it.)
    • Fresh Mbam Install
    • Steam no longer at startup

    Logs don't cause any problem, except for the growing space they can take which in a matter of time will need to be cleaned up.

    If you want you could enable Steam at startup to see if that causes any problems.

    axe0 & simrick: Any thoughts on the BIOS update?
    see post#s 26-28

    Steam has been known to cause issues before, so I'd lay even odds it's steam.
    Add the Nvidia graphics to the mix and the odds increase.

    I'm fairly sure that there shouldn't be a problem with updating the BIOS.
    The tutorials are for UEFI because it is a different motherboard, though the method is the same.

    Slartybart, I think you're right there - the BIOS is pretty old, and the OP says this had also been happening in W8 before the upgrade:
    This is a upgrade from windows 8, it also occurred there but it much less frequent. It was a clean upgrade, I installed W8 then upgraded right after.
