BSOD at random times with multiple different

Ever since I have bought this computer, it has constantly crashed. When I attempt to fix something, for example: re-seat the memory, made sure there was plenty of cable slack, etc. The system will then seem stable for 7-10 days. Then out of the blue, the system will crash several times in a short time (sometimes this period can be a few hours or a few days). Even though it has constantly crashed (in the hundreds of times) I would say I have actually witnessed it less than 10 times. There was one time though the system had crashed, rebooted, and then even crashed again before I even had a chance to log in.

The file included is from the last 2 months and it has 30 files. This appears to be a rather large number, this is nothing compared to what it used to be like when I first purchased this system a year ago.

Thanks for any and all help

Most BSOD's were caused by Memory Corruption, ie. one of your Memory Stick might be bad. Please
download and run the memory test: Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool
You'll need to run the test for at least 6 passes and it will take a while to complete unless the test fails earlier.

In addition, temporarily uninstall all anti virus programs since they are known to also cause the BSOD.

Hi,

No problems. We'll make it well.

Uninstall Norton normally, reboot, then run the tool they offer to remove it as well.

Set Windows Firewall and Windows Defender to Automatic and start them too.

Update or uninstall (better) VMWare:


If there is an update available for your Logitech camera, install it:

That was one of the first things I tested. I even let it run for 4+ hours and had no errors.
