BSOD on Idle, Bugcheck 0x000000ea daily since Fall Update

In the system failure section un-check automatically restart.
This will give you time to view the BSOD window.
At times in addition to the bugcheck you may be able to see the misbehaving driver in the form *.sys

1) - 4) Done - See attached info on previous post

5) Find the memory dump file and post a one drive - posted to same one drive

6) Make sure that there is no over clocking while troubleshooting. - Done

7) - 14) Still running an older version of BIOS - BIOS Settings are still default from original install - will carry out BIOS upgrade tomorrow when time is less restictive. Files are already backed up on other drive so clean install is no issue.

15) - 19) All done#

20) Installed all three - Speccy log file and HWInfo text file both uploaded to one drive shared folder

Thanks again

Changed automatic boot setting and will report back on next failure.

As this is very intermittent this will most likely not happen again till tomorrow night although another failure is possible so will post info also memory dump file has now uploaded to one drive

Thanks again.

See post #2 steps #8 and #9.
There have been 4 bios updates that were missed.
Please update to the latest bios.
And view all other available drivers so that the computer environment has the latest drivers.

The bios update can be done at any time. The sooner the better.
Where is the link to the memory dump?
Please repost the one drive or drop box share link.

Also remember to reset the bios after the upgrade.

Cheers - see below for the memory dump link - i will get the BIOS updated asap and include a reset plus drivers.

Bios has now been updated to F8

F9b is available as this is beta it was preferred not to update to this version unless otherwise recommended.

Cheers

I will check other drivers and update

Thanks again

Checked the drivers - only driver that is older is the lan driver which i have now updated.

I think that is everything caught up now.

Cheers

Nice progress.
So now you can watch and wait to see if there are any more bsod.
If there are more bsod they can be troubleshooted.
Alternatively the hardware can be stress tested.

Use the computer as you usually do an perhaps use the graphics playing games to check the performance.

If the graphics is stressed you would check for temperature changes, freezing, display artifacts, bsod, etc.

Cheers will do - strangely enough the computer runs fine when in use.

I have only had the issue when the pc is idle - will watch some tv and leave it on tonight and see how things go.

Once again thanks for your assistance.

Well so far i have had no 0xEA bugchecks or crashes.

The only difference i have at present is that the machine goes into sleep mode after 30m instead of the screen just switching off.

I have previously had the machine crash in a short timescale 5-45min so its not unreasonable to assume that it could crash before the machine goes into sleep mode but so far this hasnt happened. I will continue to test as is and then do some further testing by removing sleep mode.
