    Hi zbook,
    Thank you for your post.
    I took the time to go through all the steps. Here are all the relevant outputs and screenshots in the attached zip file:
    Attachment 160490

    What I could see with HDTune is there is a SMART error with my SSD. I don't know if it's related. I remember I hotswaped it a few times with a Sata->USB cable so it might be the explanation.

    You're right memtest86+ is so damn long to run ! I stopped after 11 passes (33 hours of testing), with no error (phew). I only tested with both sticks since there was no visible error. Should I still try each stick separately?

    I also updated the Intel wifi driver. I remember I already did it previously to my first post here. but I was still having the issue. Well, guess what ? Now I can run prime95 for 30min with any driver without BSOD. I didn't change anything else, except a windows chkdsk and having changed the system language from French to English...

    Can you tell me what you think about this report ? In the meantime, I'll let the laptop run prime95 with the new Intel drivers for a few hours...

    Have a nice day!

    Nice progress.
    How come the C: chkdsk report was in a foreign language and the D: was in English?



    The RAM testing passed with 11 passes 0 errors 16 GB RAM.
    With a pass testing both at the same time there is no need to test them 1 at a time.
    The ST drive looks good.
    The Samsung drive displayed 1 problem in the health report and had corruption on the drive.
    The operating system integrity testing passed.

    Please translate:
    Correction des erreurs dans l’attribut BITMAP de la table de fichiersmaītres (MFT).
    Correction des erreurs dans le carte du volume.

    Has it been 1 or 2 days since you updated the driver?
    If there are any new BSOD please post a new zip.

    During the Windows upgrade period some of our Windbg commands are not working. So the debugging can be incomplete or complete depending on whether the commands can or cannot be processed.

    Use the computer under typical use and see if there are any new BSOD.

    For the drives:
    Make a brand new restore point.
    Download and install Macrium:
    Macrium Software | Macrium Reflect Free
    Make a backup image of each drive and place the backup on another drive or into the cloud.
    Backup all of the files on the Samsung drive.
    Every month revise the Macrium backup image.
    If you add files frequently then update the backup image weekly or more frequently.

    Download and install the Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool


    When the test completes please use the Microsoft snipping tool to post an image into the thread.

    Thanks !

    Actually chkdsk on the C: drive needed to do it during boot, so I guess Windows went back to its default language, which is French on my laptop. Even if I change the system language, some things such as the boot manager won't change.

    In the text file I also put a translation I did myself, I'm not sure if these are the exact words but it should match more or less the English version :

    For the driver, unfortunately I forgot to update it before running memtest86+. So I updated it this morning right after having stopped memtest86+ and then I was running prime95 (for 2 hours now).

    I just created a restore point. Is the macrium step really required if I don't mind loosing my data ? Actually all my important data on this laptop is replicated using various services (Dropbox, Syncthing), I'm safe if the laptop explodes or gets stolen. I also created a "Windows 7" backup on the SSD just in case, after my fresh install, to avoid loosing time and have an faster recovery process. But this backup is on the SSHD. I'm on a trip and I don't have any other drive with me for now.

    Here is the result with the Intel processor diagnostic tool:

    Attachment 160503

    I'll keep using the computer under typical use and run prime95 when I'm away.

    Each Drive testing software has a different algorithm.
    They either find problems with the drive or attempt to predict future problems.
    So one software may display pass while another displays problem areas.
    When there are findings from any of the drive testing software we advise backing up the drives.
    The Macrium imaging is useful in case the computer is not longer bootable.
    If you have data backed up you can always clean install and don't have to use Macrium as you have other options.
    Most of the threads don't have the backup discipline that you have.

    Alright!
    So I'm still not sure what was the cause, but no blue screen so far for the moment... I'll consider this is a solved case until the next crash
    Thank you very much for your help, I should have come here months ago.

    Have a great day!

    You are welcome. Glad to help. The windbg found the misbehaving wireless card as the cause of the BSOD. The drive problem was discovered in the workup of the event viewer reports. The set up you have should serve you well in case there are any drive problems.
    Let us know if you have any future issues.

    Hi again,

    Maybe I spoke too fast! The problem came back as soon as I have upgraded from build 1703 to build 1709.
    Here is a new dump:
    Attachment 161177

    I wanted to investigate the issue by following your tutorials about WinDbg. I installed it but I'm quite lost. I couldn't even manage to find a driver issue in the first dump I submitted to you.

    The Intel driver is up to date. Also, previously to the update, I was "stable" on prime95 (I just tested 2 hours) regardless of the Wi-Fi driver version. Now it crashes again in dozens of minutes.

    I suspect something else than the Intel driver...

    Some of the Windbg commands are not working during this Windows upgrade period.
    There was no definitive misbehaving driver identified in the latest dumps.
    If there are more dumps it may be possible to find the misbehaving driver with the limited commands.

    1) Please read these links on Windows driver verifier.
    2) Backup all files to another drive or to the cloud.
    3) Create a backup image using Macrium:
    Macrium Software | Macrium Reflect Free
    4) Place the backup image onto another driver or into the cloud.
    5) Make a brand new restore point

    Windows driver verifier is designed to repetitively produce BSOD until misbehaving drivers are fixed or until the tool is turned off.

    To turn off Windows driver verifier you will navigate in the Windows advanced troubleshooting menu to:
    1) startup options (not startup repair) > restart > #6 safe mode with command prompt > type: verifier /reset
    If step #1 fails to turn off Windows driver verifier move to step #2
    2) command prompt > Administrator X:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe > type:
    verifier /bootmode resetonbootfail
    If step #2 fails to turn off Windows driver verifier move to step #3
    3) system restore
    This method typically leads to the loss of the mini dump and little progress is made in the troubleshooting.

    4) In the left lower corner search type: system > open system control panel > on the left pane click advanced system settings > in startup and recovery click settings > make sure automatically restart is un-checked and write debugging information is automatic memory dump.

    5) Open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste: shutdown /r /o /f /t 00
    This will reboot to the windows advanced troubleshooting menu where you can practice the above 3 methods to turn off windows driver verifier.

    6) When you have backed up files, made a brand new restore point, and are comfortable with the 3 methods to turn off windows driver verifier you can turn it on.
    The computer may be sluggish when windows driver verifier is on and this expected.
    7) The BSOD windows typically displays the bug check driver verifier detected violation and sometimes displays the misbehaving driver in the form *.sys. If you see the misbehaving driver please report it into the thread.
    8) Download and install:
    Blue screen of death (STOP error) information in dump files.
    http://www.resplendence.com/whocrashed
    9) After each BSOD run both software programs and then uninstall the misbehaving driver.
    10) You can either reinstall a new driver immediately after uninstalling the driver or you can restart Windows driver verifier and look for the next misbehaving driver. Then you can install new drivers after all misbehaving drivers have been removed and there are no longer any BSOD. The end result should be the same.

    Yes this is strange...
    Maybe I should wait for other BSODs that might show misbehaving drivers ?

    If you wait it may take a while to find the misbehaving driver.
    If you use windows driver verifier there will be multiple mini dumps to debug.
