Hello, i have a very old system. its a VAIO VGN-CS36MJ 4GB RAM Core2Duo P8700
Im currently using Windows 10 x64 19592 as this is the only stable one for me.
the BSOD happened when I upgrade to 19603; then with 19608 and 19613. all of them my system BSOD. I suspect it is my audio driver as my audio becomes garbled before the BSOD occurs.
Is there any remedy to this one?
Have you checked the Sony website to see if Windows 10 is supported on this device?
Just because it installs doesn't mean that it's stable (and the fact that you state that upgrades aren't stable)
FWIW - it may simply be that the "stable" version of W10 that you are using is simply less unstable than the others.
Next, we will troubleshoot your issues to the best of our ability. But there are a couple of caveats needed when troubleshooting older systems:
- It may require installing the original software to help test. Do you have the original installation disks or can you get them? What was the original version of Windows on the system?
- We may not be able to prove that incompatibilities exist - yet the system may still have incompatibility problems. It'll be your decision when to give up on troubleshooting - as we can continue to run tests nearly forever :0)
Finally, please start by generating and uploading the reports asked for in the Posting Instructions pinned topic at the top of the forum. Here's a link to it: BSOD - Posting Instructions
Thank you.
I no longer have the CD's but manage to find the original drivers online and they're quite old. Did tried to install/re-install both audio and graphics driver then tried to use Windows default's audio but still the same...
I understand the complexity in trying troubleshoot an old system.... for that I wont waste your time trying to debug this one.. I'll just stick with 19592 for now as it is stable or "less unstable"than the latest versions.
Once again, thanks!

BSOD - Posting Instructions
If you don't get the BSOD w/19592, then go with it.
1) Make sure to make a disk image of the system with 19592 - that way you can go back as needed.
2) Ensure that all drivers, Windows, software, and BIOS/UEFI are fully updated. Be aware that any one of these updates can trigger an incompatibility - and may start the BSOD's (so backup your stuff constantly!)
3) Once 19592 is no longer supported - then it's time to get another system. Desktop systems are cheaper and easier to repair than laptops - but they get old (and see incompatibilities) just as fast as laptops. Take that into consideration
If you do get BSOD's, post the logs as zbook requested. Not all BSOD's will be due to incompatibilities.
Good luck!
