    BSOD at random times, ntoskrnl.exe or ntfs.sys or hal.dll cause it


    I've been having BSODs for a few months now and only now just got around to looking at the memory dumps to find the cause. Unfortunately, it only shows ntoskrnl.exe, ntfs.sys or hal.dll as the causes, which leaves me unsure with what to do since they are system files. It seems that many others are having this same issue and as this computer is a modelling computer, having it running memory tests is not preferable (it is in use 24/7).

    My zip should be attached so if someone here can help, I'd greatly appreciate it. It is causing a large headache at my work.

    I did a windows update today (first time in a few months) and also a graphics driver update to see if that will stop it in future. I also turned on "verify" in cmd for these three processes. The computer is practically brand new, but it has not always been doing this as far as I know. According to the event log, it has only been doing it this year.

    The last dumpfiles are all very different.

    The differing error codes are usually symptomatic of a lower level problem within the system. They are usually caused by one of these things:
    - faulting (broken) hardware (several different procedures used to isolate the problem device)
    - BIOS issues (check for updates at the motherboard manufacturer's website)
    - overclocking/overheating - You'll know if you're overclocking or not. Please stop at least during troubleshooting.
    - compatibility issues (3rd party hardware/drivers)
    - low-level driver/system problems within windows (SFC/DISM)
    - or even malware.

    In many dumpfiles the proces was PROCESS_NAME: TUFLOW_iSP_w64. (hopes this give a clue).

    A few dumpfiles point to memory corruption, testing your memory could be necessary. Although this is troublesome as you mentioned in your post.

    So start first with.

    There are newer bios version for your mobo here Access Denied

    Looking through your drivermodules i found this older drivers.
    And in the unloaded modules there are references to your Kaspersky software and Aladdin/Safenet software ?.

    And install latest version of speedfan.

    Also if you use it update to the latest version of the Asus Utilities or uninstal.

    First look for updating these driver from your supportpage and also check if all the other drivers have the latest version installed.

    These Tools are known for causing bluescreens:

    - Corsair Link 4
    - Intel(R) Extreme Tuning Utility
    - ASUS AI Suite

    all of them u have installed. I recommend not to overclock your system. We can not support overclocked systems.
    Heres some errors from eventlog why these tools are crap:

    Code:
    Task Scheduler service found a misconfiguration in the NT TASK\ASUS\ASUS AISuiteIII definition.
    Additional Data: Error Value: C:\Program Files (x86)\ASUS\AI Suite III\AISuite3.exe.
    
    The Intel(R) Extreme Tuning Utility Service service did not respond on starting.
