Just a quick update. I haven't had a BSOD for about a week now so I'm feeling more confident that the problem has been addressed. At this point I think the culprit was the RAM, there were enough error messages that showed that this was the case and it was worth the $50 to see if it made a...

Well things appeared to be pretty stable but then I hit a BSOD. It happened when I unplugged the base of my wireless mouse and plugged it directly into my mouse (this happens when the mouse runs out of battery power). It got an IRQ error on the blue screen message.

Just a quick update. There was a new Nvidia driver that was released yesterday along with a Steelseries engine update so I installed both of those. I've replaced my RAM with some new memory and removed the old memory. I'll be monitoring for BSODs going forward.

Thanks again for the suggestions. I was travelling for a few days but returned to day and uninstalled the Driver in Safe mode and re-installed. I'll monitor the status for a few days and let you know if I see anymore BSODs. I purchased some additional memory too so I'll try running the sticks...

Well I did run into a BSOD again. I've attached the Dump file. I'm still wondering if it's my Memory. I'm tempted to purchase some new RAM and see what happens. The G.Sniper series is pretty reasonable and received good reviews.

Just an FYI, I was travelling a little this week so haven't had a chance to really use my computer. I'll have more opportunity this weekend and will let you know what the status is. I can say that the number of BSODs has dropped substantially so that's obviously encouraging.

Installed Installed (although since I primarily use my Logitech g930 I rarely use my external speakers). The only challenge I had was with the chipset drivers. I tried installing the Win10 drivers but the application kept hanging at 2% and I had to kill the process through Task manager (I ran...

Thanks for the review. I'll update the drivers when I get home. Yes, it is running AHCI. I re-ran the Prime95 and didn't encounter any temperature issues. I ran some PassMark stress tests on the CPU and it passed without problem. I checked my Thermaltake cooling system too and made sure it...

Attached is the latest dump from a BSOD. Let me know what you would suggest based on this.

I noticed that it was updating the same directory but I thought it had over-written the files. I can resend later when I get home. Should I re-run the Driver Verifier to catch the BSOD it caused?

OK. I ran the driver verifier and it immediately led to a BSOD. In fact Windows couldn't get past its start screen. I rebooted into Safe mode and turned off Verifier. The dump is attached, it looked like it might be related to my Samsung 840 EVO Drive. I'm running Samsung Magician magic and...

OK SFC now completed with no errors. I'll run the driver verifier next.

Thanks for the quick recview. Comments below: Yes, that appears to be the latest driver from Steelseries. I'll check again and confirm though. No I didn't. Any guidance on checking would be appreciated. Is there a tool that is available? The DISM command worked and I'm in the process of...

Ok I just finished running Furmark at 6048 x 1080 and it had no problem finishing the burn-in test and held steady at a top end temperature of 80C. I have a Thermaltake liquid cooler for the CPU so I dont think temperatures are going to be a big issue but I'll run the Prime95 test next.

Thanks for the response. Comments below: I ran MemTest86 all night so about 12 hours. I updated the mouse/keyboard driver from Steelseries I ran SFC /scannow and while it completed it did have a message saying errors were found that it could not correct (CBS.log attached) PSU is a Corsair...
