Fresh 10 build/install, random BSODs after update (0x124, 0x133)

You have 7 hard drives. I use this as an indication of how much hardware might be installed (and using power).
What is the make, model, power and age of your PSU?
First, try this free program that includes a PSU test: OCBASE / OCCT
After that, please disconnect any unneeded hardware (to include most of the hard drives) using proper anti-static precautions. Be sure to disconnect both the power and data cables from the hard drives while testing.


Several of your drives have less than 10% free space. Windows would like to have 15% free space for proper functioning of all drives behind the scenes. But, you may be able to get away with only 10% free space and not notice any performance problems. Please free up at least 10% free space on ALL drives.

The memory dumps are indicative of a possible hardware problem/compatibility issue/low-level driver problem
All are STOP 0x124: WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR errors
Although the hardware problem is most likely, the others are still possibilities.

Please uninstall SpeedFan and Asus PCProbe - as drivers for these programs are present in the crash dumps and they date from 2012. Speedfan's driver is usually stable, but I ask you to remove it in order to be sure.

Please uninstall WinCDEmu as it's drivers date from 2015 and it has seen problems in the past:

Code:

BazisVirtualCDBus.sys       Sat Sep 26 22:51:28 2015 (560759B0)
WinCDEmu virtual CDROM driver - Bazis Inc http://wincdemu.sysprogs.org/

Please uninstall the program associated with this driver (as it dates from 2017):

Code:

cfosspeed6.sys              Thu Nov  2 11:56:01 2017 (59FB4011)
cFosSpeed - The Internet Accelerator[br]Also a part of Asus TurboLAN http://www.cfos.de/en/cfosspeed/support.htm

This driver also dates from 2018 - and is most likely listed as a program named ENE. Please uninstall it.

Code:

EneIo64.sys                 Mon Mar 19 23:59:12 2018 (5AB08710)

This driver is located here: c:\program files\ene\io\eneio64.sys

Please let us know the results of the above tests and, if needed, we'll move on from there.
Good luck!

Just to be clear - I should never run this test while any of the hard drives (besides the boot drive) are connected? 5 are SATA and two (including boot drive) are m.2 SSD on the mobo. I just want to make sure, thanks.

My PSU is a 750W Corsair 750X. I purchased it for this build so I've only had it for a little over a week.

Understood. My boot drive has 727GB of free space out of 930GB and I thought that was all that mattered, but i'll make it a point to clear space in the other drives.

this is a very old platter drive , this was the only test that showed any errors. i couldn't write to the drive in the test.

the m.2 drives do not appear to have any SMART data and aren't detected in seatools.

i'll run the long read test overnight.

this drive was the proverbial nail in the coffin for my previous build and so i am only still keeping this drive to get anything important left off of it. it's my old windows partition with ~8 years of files on it left over from software and appdata. once all that stuff is off of it, i'll be getting rid of it as it is indeed dying.

thank you for your help.

a quick update - windows attempted to install updates again and some more crashes happened. here's a new v2 log if anyone wants to look at it.

the update failed. i am pausing windows updates for now to minimize risk.

here's what took place:

1. i restart the system to install updates
2. the update freezes at 100%, forcing a manual restart
3. the system freezes before it reaches the log-in screen (spinning dots after bios), forcing a manual restart
4. the system freezes at the log-in screen, forcing a manual restart
5. i am now able to log-in. the freezes have stopped

the previous incident was similar to this, although it freezed a few more times after logging in, and the system managed to restart itself.

i don't know if this helps narrow down anything, but it appears the freezes only seem to occur during and shortly after boot/log-in, and during a windows update.

Make sure that there is no over clocking while troubleshooting.

shoot, ok - i'll be sure to disable this next time i have a chance, although i am very nervous about restarting now

To ensure that there are no improper bios settings please reset the bios.

Sometimes there can be failure to boot after resetting the bios.

Backup the computer files to another drive or to the cloud.

You can run the OCCT test(s) with or without the excess hard drives connected.
There's 2 points for disconnecting hard drives:
- it will lessen the power draw on the PSU - which may help the crashes
- it will remove those drives from the troubleshooting equation. So, if the crashes stop, then it could be one of the hard drives causing the problem. OTOH, if the crashes continue, then it's likely that the drives aren't causing the problem (but still run the diagnostics that were suggested).
