MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION BSOD hal.dll - not sure if driver or HW issue
Hello everyone,
I have been having crashes and BSODs with MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION for quite som time now. I tried formatting system disk and reinstalling Windows 10 Home, updated drivers I could find newest version of, didn't updated BIOS (but looks I have last version, last time I checked - the motherboard is a bit older: ASUS Z87-A).
I started to have this issue after I have been using external sound card (audio interface is Novation Audiohub 2x4) and installed ASIO4ALL drivers to be compatible with other HW I have been using. This could be unrelated however.
Regarding HW, I cleaned PC as much as I could, reseted cmos, reapplied thermal paste on CPU...
In following link I'm sending the file with minidumps etc for debugging: WeTransfer
The PC had BSOD on startup, during normal using (yesterday I have been able to use it for several hours before first crash, but after that the crashes has been more frequent and occurred on startup again), it BSOD even after I unplugged GPU (wanted to test if it's GPU related - driver or HW), it didn't crashed in safe mode as far as I can remember.
Any help / advise is much appreciated.
