Hi,
Attached is the SF zip. Here's a rundown of what I've been trying to deal with:
I've started on Windows 7 with SP1 installed. I had frequent BSOD's, I then also noticed every time I shut down the PC it would try to install 11 updates but stop before completing. Wondering about this I went to the update section in control panel to find out it had been unable to install updates. The errors seemed to originate from the fact it couldn't verify the signatures, something about the cryptography files being corrupt.
Tried running the fixes from Windows, nothing helped. Decided to reinstall Windows. So right now I'm running a clean version of Windows 8.1, reformatted the partition Win7 was on and did a re-install, not an upgrade. I did leave my other partitions as they were.
Right now I have nothing special installed on Windows 8, have not yet installed an anti-virus. Soon after installation the BSOD's returned. I'm not running anything intensive when they appear, mostly I'm just running Chrome with 2-3 tabs open (youtube and the like).
The BSOD's have happend thrice now in the past 24 hours, two were Memory Management (the 0x000001a variant) and the other was Bad_Pool_Header.
I had already guessed it might've something to do with my RAM or with my HDD, but under Windows 7 (say a week ago) I ran both Memtest and a variety of HDD checking tools and came up empty. Well, not entirely. It did say one of the HDD's wasn't in great shape, which is probably true as it's old. There's barely any data on it and I'll probably just copy it off and remove it later today just to be sure.
In any case, as I said, it's a clean install of Win 8.1. I've not tinkered around with settings like the paging file. It's all system managed right now.
Also:
- BIOS is fully up to date
- All relevant drivers (AFAIK) are installed
I'm still figuring it might be RAM related. I've read some suggestions it might be voltage related, but it's not something I'm knowledgeable on.. so I prefer not to tinker on it alone in fear of breaking it. Heh.
Your help is much appreciated!
