Uptick in BSODs and Instability - Random times, Looking for Culprit
Hi there,
Thanks for taking a look at the post. In recent days I have seen a definite uptick in the number of BSODs I've been receiving.
The BSODs were fairly infrequent but my failure to find a cause has me quite frustrated and they seem to have increased - I have done the very basics of checking for driver updates, running windows memory diagnostic, running chkdsk and sfc scan now with no obvious cause - though I should say I'm fairly new to Windows troubleshooting in general with this being the first PC I have built, but hope to improve. The most common BSOD is IRQL_Not_less_or_equal but with one or two others - they all appear to be driver related given ntoskrnl.exe - is that correct? Or could it be hardware realted even if the scans didn't show any issues?
Minidump files are (hopefully) attached correctly. I'd really appreciate it if someone could assist me with tracking down the cause of the issue so I can hopefully fix it and get a better feel for BSOD troubleshooting.
I should mention I do work quite hectic hours so my replies may be slightly delayed.
All help Appreciated.
