Heh. Actually I don't. I don't mean to sound rude or to ignite another interminable debate on the 8 passes vs. PassMark's 4 passes view, but it simply isn't necessary for my particular purpose of...

Ah, thanks. I ran sfc before dism. I ran it and dism /scanhealth again this morning, but they found no issues. Overheating was my first thought last June when my troubles started. I monitored temps...

Thank you for the suggestion. I suppose my RAM could have a new issue, but given the persistent crashes I've had, I've ran memtest (and other memory testers) probably over 40 hours, countless passes,...

Hello,

I hope someone can interpret this data for me. I've been having crash problems for about a year (a previous thread on tenforums attests to that), which I had worked around by using only...

Sorry, I missed this one before. No, I haven't Onedrive or similar app running.

Thanks for the reply, HeM.

That doesn't seem to be my issue. My network adapters have that option checked, and the computer can go to sleep or shutdown just fine. It's only when I have one of the...

Ok! I have the power issues pinpointed better by disabling both AMD High Definition Audio Device & Realtek Audio. If either of them is enabled, I get one good nap following by crashes. So I'm...

No. No devices are. (I left out part of the powercfg command the original post. It should have been powercfg /devicequery wake_armed = none.)

Thanks for the reply, Garyw. Unfortunately, there has been no BIOS update in nearly 2 years, which I installed as soon as it was released.

I just noticed another odd symptom. I'm adding this because odd symptoms are often the best guides. My keyboard is backlit; fn+f10 turns it off and on. When I rebooted, before I used the one good...

I have, for me, an unusual problem for which I've tried all the usual (and some unusual) fixes. None work. When my computer first boots or restarts, all of the normal methods (idle time, closing lid,...

Hello,

I'm not sure why Fast Startup would have produced my issues, but in any case FS was already disabled. In fact, I don't even have the option in the power options to turn it on, since I long...

I wanted to give a quick update and thanks to those who responded. I have 12gb of RAM, so it took a long time for 8 passes, but no problems were found. I've gone 2 weeks without a crash. The only...

All the tests passed, including a "thorough" CPU test--although I opted not to do the estimated four-hour, extended test on my memory at this time.

Ztrucker,

The bios has no CPU voltage values. It's the barest bones bias I've ever seen.

HonorGamer,

I've attached the gathered information. Thanks for your interest. The computer hasn't crashed since late Monday, but I haven't used it much since then either.

In Windows' Reliability Monitor, I find two report for each crash event. The second always gives the error location I've found in the dump files. The first might be redundant--information I am...

Driver Verifier crashed my computer fairly quickly. Or maybe not. The dump had no obvious references to any driver. It was identical to the original one I attached to the first post except for a...

The crash came again with a new address for the error. Giving the driver verifier a go.


WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR (124)
A fatal hardware error has occurred. Parameter 1 identifies the type of...

Ztrucker,

It didn't take long to crash again--after two years, until recently, with zero crashes. :sick: The temp wasn't particular high (52-54C) and the address of the error was different:...

Thanks. The temperature lowered a bit after using the compressed air. Waiting to see what happens. I also reverted back to an older driver for the Radeon R6, which was the only recent change to my...

Hello,

Last week my Dell laptop began to restart occasionally. There was no discernible pattern regarding apps running, etc--I play no games and no new apps; usually only Word, Firefox, Foxit...
