Random BSOD's with either 156 or 292 as BugCheckCode
Hi,
I have had a problem with my computer ever since I upgraded some hardware back in August. More specifically, over 60 BSOD's at random and very unpredictable times. Sometimes it crashes three times in an hour, other times I can sit for three days with no problem at all. I have tried every possible solution I could find online, but nothing seems to work. I even went and got a new PSU to rule out that as an issue, and am currently running with the case open so that I can be sure it's not an overheating issue due to restricted airflow. Every crash report I get has one of two BugCheckCodes; 156 and 292, which translate to WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR and MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION, respectively. Everything I can find online points to this being a hardware issue, so I've reset BIOS to standard (no overclocking of any kind, not even automatic) and run 10 passes of a full Memtest86 with 0 errors. All the hard drives are also reporting 0 errors, and I even got a new magnetic disk to be able to transfer everything from the old drives in case that was the issue. However, after doing all of this and nothing helping (I still get the exact same errors), I am beginning to suspect it might actually be a faulty processor and/or motherboard, and I still have three months left on the warranty for it. I can't be sure though - and therefore I am humbly asking for any help in pinpointing the error, if at all possible. I have collected the requested data with the v2 Log viewer tool, and here's the link: DESKTOP-E6C97SD-(2020-05-10_09-48-26).zip - Google Drive
