Unexpected Kernal Mode Trap on Boot-up
Hi
I have a bit of a weird problem in that in about one out of every five reboots my PC fails to boot up first time and comes up with an UNEXPECTED KERNAL MODE TRAP (which I believe is designated code 7F). It then has another go and is generally successful. This morning I couldn't sleep and came to do some work on my PC and for the second time since this started I had no choice but to boot up into Win7. After spending some time using Win7 I tried rebooting Win10 again and it went in beautifully.
Between these episodes of failing to boot first time it runs up lovely and behaves perfectly but then without warning it fails yet again to boot up first time and as I say, on two occasions I have had to boot into Win7. Whilst I could go on like this for a long time, apart from being annoying it is somewhat worrying as it could be an indicator that something is dying.
I do not consider myself to be an idiot and I am aware that on such occasions PCs produce a dump file and whilst I have managed to install WinDBG and get it running, what I am seeing is not making a lot of sense to me. I have reason to believe that a Stack Overflow is occurring although I could be wrong. I am therefore wondering if someone more experienced that me in such matters could have a look a my files and see what it tells them. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

PS I've used the Memory Diagnostic Tool and it's come up with nothing - no problem at all
PPS I done a search on the forum and so far have not found anything similar to my problem so am starting a new thread
