Assistance With a Couple Recent BSODs Since Upgrading  

I've gotten a couple of crashes in the week or two that I've been running win10. The first was a typical looking one, but the 2nd was a new-look windows 10 style and it said "critical process died". Very descriptive, huh.

So I ran the V2 collector to gather some of the dump info & attached it here which hopefully will be a good starting point.

When I upgraded my system from win 7, I did it as a clean install so everything got blown out. I have re-installed some applications but my system is far leaner than it was before. I should mention that I was having some BSODs under windows 7 which never really got a definitive solution to...the only possibility was to replace the RAM which I didn't do. But, as part of the extensive diagnosis that went on at the end when my system would not upgrade a couple weeks ago, I ran Memtest 5.01 for 10 passes and there were no memory errors.

I am running window 10 version 1909 build 18363.592

I don't recall any drive errors. We did drive scans on both and there were no issues. I'll work down your list above. Here is the command prompt results:

22: I think there was one more BSOD since the ones I posted above so I ran V2 and attached the resulting zip here.

1) Post a share link for: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP

Code:

LastWriteTime        Size (MB) FullName             
-------------        --------- --------             
1/28/2020 7:19:24 PM     820.9 C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP

2) Make a new restore point:
Create System Restore Point in Windows 10


3) Make a backup image using Macrium and save the image to another disk drive or the cloud.

Macrium Software | Your Image is Everything
Backup and Restore with Macrium Reflect

4) Detach the non- Windows drive

5) For any BSOD:

a) run the V2 log collector to collect new log files

b) open file explorer> this PC > C: > in the right upper corner search for: C:\Windows\memory.dmp
> if the file size is < 1.5 GB then zip > post a separate share link into the thread using one drive, drop box, or google drive

Here's a link to the dmp file on Google Drive: MEMORY.DMP - Google Drive

I can't detach the D drive because everything I work with is on it so the computer is pretty much useless without it.

There haven't been any more blue screens since the most recent V2 package I uploaded in my last post. This BSOD tends to happen if I go into sleep mode with applications still open (and then not even every single time), so I've tried to close all the programs before sleep mode. Interestingly...after I first installed windows 10 I did not realize the default setting was to turn off after a certain period of time...I would notice that it was off (or in sleep?) after a few hours away and everything came back up normally, and I had a bunch of things open. So I disabled that by selecting "never" for turn computer off. When I want to put the computer in sleep mode, I do it manually via a button on my keyboard. My keyboard is quite old but still in good condition so I never got a new one. I think it may be from 2005. (Its a Microsoft Multi-Media Keyboard 1.0A). I wonder if the keyboard command may somehow be messing up. Its a long shot though. I don't have a new one to test. Its using a generic driver; I can't find a specific win10 driver for this model.

Since my last post there was another crash but it didn't cause a blue screen. Based on the time stamp it seems to have happened while the computer was in sleep mode. When I tried to wake it later it was just frozen so I had to restart and it did generate a minidump file. From what I see it was caused by a driver called farflt.sys+11fed which I think is part of Malwarebytes? I did a scan with Malwarebytes and it did not find anything. I collected data using V2 and attached here.

Please perform the following steps:

1) Uninstall Malwarebytes using the applicable uninstall tool:
https://downloads.malwarebytes.com/file/mb_clean

2) uninstall the Nvidia GPU driver using DDU (display driver uninstaller)
3) re-install the Nvidia GPU driver from the Nvidia website
4) make sure that you check the clean install box and if available install the physx driver.

Ok. Malware Bytes is uninstalled & cleaned off. Display drivers were cleaned off and a new set installed. I will see if I get a BSOD.

A related question....after doing the clean install of the Nvidia drivers, there is a folder c:\program files\Nvidia Corporation\Installer2 which is over 200mb. is this a temporary install folder and can I delete it?

Sigh. Another wakeup crash. The computer was in sleep mode all day, and when I pressed a button on the kbd it just was black. So I hit the power button and it shut off, then hit it again and it started up and into windows. I see from my Bluescreenview that it had a "page fault in non paged area" error code with a time stamp that corresponded to when I hit the button to wake it. So it appears that waking it caused whatever it is...

I ran another V2 Collector and attached the results.
