Hi All,

I'm facing stranges BSOD on my computer.

It appends many times a day with different Bug Check Code but always at the same relative address : ntoskrnl+501c40.

I already did Memory Testing with MemTest86+ 2 times 4 passes but no memory errors found.
Crash appends more frequently after having set Data Execution Prevention on all Executables on the system.

I guess my PC got corrupted with some hacking tools but I have no clues nor tools except Windows Defender to search for this event !

If you need the MiniDump Folder to go deepeer in this please let me know

Regards,
Luc CHEVRY

Luc,
I can absolutely understand your frustration—reinstalling Windows and still experiencing BSOD with ntoskrnl+5017d0 as the only clue is maddening. Here’s a breakdown based on community experience and the gathered evidence:

What This Crash Means​

  • ntoskrnl+5017d0 (same family as your prior offsets) is still a generic kernel crash location. It rarely means the kernel itself is the root cause—in almost all cases, it acts as the "messenger" when something deeper (often hardware, sometimes a stubborn or subtle driver issue) fails catastrophically.
  • After a total clean reinstall (latest 24H2 image, drivers only from Windows Update/MS), you have eliminated most possible software/driver culprits.

The Hard Truth, Based on Pattern​

  1. This strongly suggests an underlying hardware issue.
    • The most common hardware root causes after a true clean install are:
      • RAM defects: Even if MemTest86 passes, intermittent or marginal DIMMs can pass several tests but fail under specific Windows loads.
      • Storage (SSD/HDD) faults: Especially bad controller sectors or a faulty cable/port.
      • Motherboard issues: Failing VRMs, bad traces, or issues in chipset/USB power delivery.
      • CPU instability: Rare, but possible (overheating, micro-cracks, or IMC errors).
      • PSU-related instability: Marginal power can crash the system kernel in unpredictable ways.
  2. BSODs ‘pointing at’ ntoskrnl after a clean install are almost never OS bugs.
    • This is supported across countless community threads: when every possible driver/software cause is eliminated, hardware always becomes the next suspect .

Next Steps: Deep Hardware Diagnostics​

1. RAM

  • Try with one module at a time (alternate slots).
  • If possible, replace with a spare module, or borrow from another machine.
  • Run Windows Memory Diagnostic in “extended” (not quick) mode overnight, and see if it gets a hit.

2. Storage

  • Download the vendor’s SSD/HDD diagnostic tool (e.g., Samsung Magician, WD Dashboard, or CrystalDiskInfo).
  • Check for reallocated sectors, pending sectors, or any warnings.
  • Try a different SATA/Power cable and a different motherboard port if possible.

3. CPU and Motherboard

  • Monitor temps with HWMonitor or similar, ensure you’re not overheating—especially with warm weather.
  • Run a CPU stress test (Prime95 “Small FFT” for 20-30+ minutes). Any error or crash here points to CPU/power/motherboard.
  • Inspect the board for bulging capacitors or discoloration.

4. PSU (Power Supply)

  • If you have access to another PSU, try swapping it in.
  • Watch for unstable voltages in HWMonitor—large dips/spikes (>5% on 12v or 5v rails) are suspicious.

5. Minimal Hardware Test

  • Disconnect everything but main drive, CPU, one stick of RAM, onboard graphics (if available—remove add-in GPU), and run for a day.
  • If stable, add devices back one-by-one.

Extra Tips​

  • If you see USB/Printer errors still appearing: This could indicate a damaged USB controller or persistent power/communication faults at the mainboard level.
  • BIOS Update: Re-flash the latest BIOS/UEFI even if you think you already have it—sometimes flashing the same version resolves corruption.
  • Swap User Profile again post clean-install—rare, but corrupt home directories or old synced settings can cause obscure issues.

Summary​

You’ve done truly exhaustive software and OS troubleshooting. At this point, your symptom pattern and the evidence align almost perfectly with a lingering hardware issue—often RAM, storage, motherboard, or PSU. Community evidence strongly supports focusing your next diagnostics here .
Please don’t hesitate to update if you get a hit on a specific component. If you run advanced checks and still hit a wall, listing your full current hardware (including power supply make/model) may reveal a pattern or let us recommend further deep-dive steps.
Don’t give up—you’re following the right process, and these “phantom” kernel crashes almost always have a physical root!

### Analysis #5: Minidump/052625-9875-01.dmp

**File:** `Minidump/052625-9875-01.dmp` (extracted from `Minidump.zip`, 2,751,663 bytes)
**Error Code:** `0x0000000A`
**Error Name:** IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

### 📋 Analysis Summary
The system crashed with an IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error when a driver attempted to access pageable memory at an elevated interrupt request level.

### 💻 System Information
- **Crash Time:** 2025-05-25 13:34:56 UTC

### 🎯 Probable Cause
Analysis of the dump – with its repeated 'PAGE' and 'PooL' markers, the bug check 0xA indicates that a driver accessed memory that should have been paged out. The evidence points to a routine within winaccel.sys improperly handling memory pool operations at a raised IRQL.

**Faulty Driver:** `winaccel.sys`

### ✅ Recommended Actions
1. Update or reinstall the winaccel.sys driver to ensure it handles pageable memory correctly.
2. Check for firmware and BIOS updates for your GPU since related graphics messages were also extracted.
3. Run memory diagnostics to rule out RAM issues.
4. Review recent driver changes and, if necessary, roll back to a previous stable version.
