    Infrequent BSOD While web browsing and running game in backgroud.


    Hello, after replacing a broken hard drive and upgrading to Windows 10 I have had 3 BSOD in the past 13 days, 2 of the three times I have been away from my desk when they occurred.

    What I Was Doing on Most Recent Crash
    - Running Discord (a voice chat application)
    - Playing a steam game (TF2, I run a community for this game and was talking to one of my admins while alt-tabbed so it was mainly running in the background)
    - Browsing about 5 tabs on FireFox

    I also run a few monitoring programs
    -HWinfo64 plugged into rainmeter

    the other two time I was away from my desk and only came back to the welcome screen. I know I didnt have any updates in line so I checked the minidump folder to see if I had a blue screen and found the DMP file.

    The computer underwent a diagnostic when I took the system in to get the hard drive replaced (it was still under manufacturer warranty through powerspec, a micro center brand) and was told the only issue was the hard drive. Although im not sure they truly ran a full diagnostic.

    The system is mainly used to run games and chat with friends online. I have rendered a few videos here and there but nothing too taxing on the computer.

    If it matters at all when i replaced my HDD I installed an SSD and now keep my OS loaded on that, saving the HDD for bulk storage.

    Zip file is attached, any help or insight will be greatly appreciated.

    Edit 3 (New BSOD)

    while messing around with some settings I believe I forced a crash. this occurred right after I clicked to run system maintenance. Just To be clear the PC BSOD occurred right after clicking the start maintenance in the screenshot http://prntscr.com/d6yfo8
    added the updated collection zip, i believe the error said system service exception

    I was going to post this as a reply to this thread but I see early bumping is against the rules and didnt want my addition of info to be mistaken as that.

    The second log collection is named OWNER instead of Chris


    edit1: grammar
    edit2: added info on what was running on crash
    edit3: added everything after edit 3 line

    Yes some help would be great. I do have some updates to add but am at work at the moment. Although if you could take a peak at my dmp files that would help a ton. I'll be at lunch soon and can type more

    BIOS was flashed to the latest version (7.10) . almost used the .exe to install the update then remembered that my OS is unstable and how stupid that could be.

    Diagnostic Test

     RAM TEST


    Run MemTest86+ to analyse your RAM. MemTest86+ - Test RAM - Windows 10 Forums

    Note   Note


    MemTest86+ needs to be run for at least 8 complete passes for conclusive results. Set it running before you go to bed and leave it overnight. We're looking for zero errors here. Even a single error will indicate RAM failure.


    Make a photo of the result and post it.

    Addition:
    If errors show up you can stop the test, remove all sticks but 1 and test this single stick in each slot for 8 passes or until errors show, switch sticks and repeat.
    If errors show up and you see them a lot later, no problem, the errors don't affect the test.

    That is correct, it usually takes about 1-2 days with 16GB.
