Computer bsod, freezes, and turns off randomly
Hi,
For the past few weeks my desktop has been blue screening, turning off randomly, and freezing. I am currently typing this thread on my phone because my PC would freeze within 5 minutes of turning it on. That means that I am unable to attach my dump files unto here.
Some BSODs I got (wrote them down when they happened):
Critical_process_died
Page_fault_in_non-paged_tree (my handwriting isn't so clear)
Computer info:
Windows 10 - original OS was win7 (I got win 10 as soon as it came out)
1st generation i7 2600 (not sure if this is exact model - this is from the top of my head)
8gb ram
1000 gb hard drive
Dell xps 8300
Nvidia 530 gt 1024mb
PC is 5-6 years old
I currently Have AVG antivirus and had panda few days ago - BSODs showed up with both.
Sometimes the PC would be normal for a week or two and then it would continuously crash for another week. And then this same cycle again (good for a week then crashes again for another... Etc)
After it started crashing I cleaned the PC from any dust (the vents were clogged). It stopped crashing for a month, then came back again. I monitored for temp issues, but it was fine unless I am rendering a video on Sony Vegas (got to 84C). At normal times temp was around 45 if idle, in the 50s if browsing the internet, and low 70smif gaming. I barely game - all the crashes occur when I am browsing (which is what I do most of the time)
Typing all this on my phone is really annoying. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
