I get a BSOD on waking. Not every time, maybe 1 out of 8. At least sometimes, it is KERNAL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR.

One time, the screen went completely black, and the machine became non-responsive.

PC is approx 2 months old. HP desktop with solid state C: and conventional E:. First BSODs were experienced when the computer was very new, practically new in the box. Factory installed McAfee has been uninstalled.

Hello,

SonicWall VPN driver can cause troubles if other VPN drivers are present, and in your case you have 2 such drivers loaded
in the list of loaded drivers bellow, they are marked with red color.

To solve this issue either disable built in Windows VPN driver OR remove SonicWall products.
Updating SonicWall driver/software will not work.

And please give a feedback after testing these suggestions :)

The computer had five VPN clients: Check Point VPN, F5 VPN, Juniper Networks Junos Plus, Microsoft, and SonicWall. I installed and used SonicWall. The others are "as shipped" or were added silently with the install of some other program.

I have uninstalled the SonicWall VPN. We will see if that fixes the problem. I did wonder if the BSOD happened more frequently when the machine had gone to sleep with the VPN and/or Remote Desktop active. I expect it to drop the VPN when that happens, but I don't expect the BSOD.

Hi,
I think Check Point VPN, F5 VPN, Juniper Networks Junos Plus are windows store apps and honestly have no clue how to enable/disable or even use them.
they probably don't conflict with each other, but SonicWall is an exception.

Thankfully you know how reproduce BSOD so it should be easy to fix.

We had a second instance of the computer failing with a BSOD. It lost track of the desktop icons and the main menu items. We had to power down and reboot. Symptoms were slightly different from the "screen goes black" I mentioned in my first post, but the upshot was the same. I ran the data collection program, but there is no new .dmp.

We have not had a regular BSOD since uninstalling SonicWall, but it didn't crash every time or every day.

The dump file is the same as last time and it is the only one, so it can't provide more information than it did.
In event log for yesterday there is only one error related to wlan:

Click on OK to terminate the program

Here is information on how to enable kernel/memory dump file collection in Windows:
Enabling a Kernel-Mode Dump File

Drivers cause troubles most of the time and some device drivers on your PC are out of date, on following link you can download and install latest versions released this year:
HP Support

If this does not help there could be other problem such as hardware error, some of these links are for Vista and Windows 7 but apply for any version of Windows:
Running the Memory Diagnostics Tool

Check your hard disk for errors


Only If none of the above yield any results and it does not create dump files needed for debugging you can try to clean boot your system which will disable ( not remove ) most of non essential stuff (services, drivers, programs), and then you can start by slowly adding stuff back to see what causes troubles:

How to perform a clean boot in Windows

If issue still persist or you have more questions feel free to ask :)

After the black screen event, we had the classic BSOD for KERNAL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR while waking, so SonicWall was not the problem. No new .dmp was created. I'll try running the diagnostics.

Also, I connected the machine via ethernet and turned off the WiFi.

Edit: New BSOD after turning off WiFi.

1, Automatic file dump was/is enabled.
2. Windows Memory diagnostic found no errors.
3. Error check of C: drive found no errors.

There have been no new .dmp files despite several BSOD events.

Note: I installed a WD Passport Ultra backup drive today. I am going to uninstall (i.e. unplug) a WD My Book which was used to transfer data from an older computer to this one.

What ever is wrong with this machine, it is getting worse. Although we had been getting the BSODs pretty much since the beginning (computer is about 2 months old), they are getting more frequent. We did not get the black screen error until a few days ago, and have had three or four.

This morning, after the computer had been left alone for about an hour, we came back to find the message reproduced in the attachment (bad cell phone photo). This was a variant on the black screen problem (had to reboot). Previously, all crashes had been upon waking.

No new .dmp file.

This looks more like corrupt operating system.
It is also possible that Windows has been infected and damaged by viruses.

When did u last time reinstall Windows, how old is this windows, and what antivirus/firewall are you using?

The computer is an HP Envy Desktop, Product name: 700-410xt
The C: drive is a SanDisk SD6SB1M-256G-1006 solid state drive
The E: drive is a TOSHIBA DT01ACA1000 1T conventional drive

The computer was new approx 3/3/2015. It had factory-installed McAfee antivirus until close to the end of March, when it was deleted and Windows Defender was activated. When I took the problem to HP Tech Support (via chat), they installed and ran MalwareBytes which did not find any issues. (They also ran some hardware diagnostics which were also clean.) The first BSOD was within a day or two of taking it out of the box.

I have never installed or reinstalled Windows. OS is Windows 8.1. I note that on the Windows information page, there is a link to "Get more features with a new edition of Windows" but it doesn't say what that new version is.

There was a black screen when I woke up the computer to write this post. Still no new .dmp.

The first BSOD was within a day or two of taking it out of the box.

You can perform a clean boot and use your PC that way, then trying to reproduce BSOD
Clean boot will disable ( not remove ) some of unnecessary drivers/applications/services
This could help at least separate functioning part from non functioning part.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929135

Btw, in order for driver verifier to possibly identify bad drivers you need to modify "standard settings" and select 3rd party drivers from the list. however this could in worst case result in unbootable system. as explained on msdn

If clean boot won't work you can also try to boot into safe mode with or without networking and use your PC that way to narrow nonfunctioning part down even more.

Reinstalling Windows probably won't help since BSOD's started 2 days after you bought it, but is an option if anything else fails.

I can see that this is going to take some time because we can't produce the error on demand. For example, it has not crashed yet today.

I'm going to start by doing a clean boot late in the evening and letting it sit overnight. Then, I'll add stuff back, night by night.

No crashes yesterday. Did a clean boot yesterday evening. Computer seemed to be working normally. Left on all night. No crash on waking this morning.

Mid-morning, crash on trying to start Outlook. Error message is CRITICAL_PROCESS_???? (Message disappeared before my wife could read it all.) No new .dmp. Outlook had been working normally since the clean boot.

Since the machine is still under warranty, I'm thinking of giving it to HP to fix. Unfortunately, the local HP Authorized Service is at Staples, which is not reassuring. (I have not talked to them to see if they can do the warranty service.) And of course, fixing an error that only happens now and then is always difficult whether it's a computer or a car.

Yes, there is no dmp files except the one 9 days ago.

CRITICAL_PROCESS_???? was most probably CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED.

We can only guess and try out few options.
What I would do is a full scan with an actual Antivirus. malwarebytes is not an AntiVirus really and MSE probably can't detect if there is something attaching to processes, (in this case probably networking process/driver ). as the dump file itself shows.

Step 2 is check if any drivers are running high DPC.
For this to check we use DPC checker:
DPC Latency Checker

The above tool is easy to use, and must not show any red bars while running, (in normal mode, not safe mode).

edit:
It depends what kind or issue does the warranty cover, but that an options too if all tries fail.

Most likely a drive failure. Have you tested your drive?
SeaTools DOS is a good program, I would run the long generic test.

SeaTools for DOS | Seagate

The fact that you're getting inpage errors and critical process terminations suggests that this is the issue, on top of dump files not being written to disk.
