BSOD after Stand-By or Sleep Mode

Hi all!

I have a problem with my Asus S56C, I have frequent BSODs, but they only occur after few seconds or few minutes out of the Stand By mode. It does not happen after restarting restarting or turning on the PC. I have already tested the RAM and Hard Drives. Updating to Win 8.1 and then 10 did not change the problem or the way it happens. Since it might be a driver problem, I have tried to play a little bit with Driver Verifier but the drivers are so many that I was not able to identify only one and then I stopped because it was really too time consuming. I updated all the drivers manually from the Control Panel, but it did not change anything. For the rest the computer is fine, I sent it to the ASUS Service when was still under warranty and they replaced RAM, HD, DVD-ROM, but not the 24 Gb SSD. It also came back with a clean Windows 8 but it had the same problem after installing just Avast, Chrome and Mozilla (I have already uninstalled Avast and no improvements). Here the information you need:

And here the result of the last Windows Debugger:

Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.

First you are running windows 10, this is the windows 8 forum.

But i believe that your problem is related to to Intel Rapid Storage and Express Cache drivers/programs.

When you upgrade from windows 8 to 8.1 did update your Intel Rapid drivers and also when upgrade to windows you need to update the Expres Cache.

I had the problem already in Win 8 and 8.1. I updated just to see if it could change something. Anyway I have updated what you told me, I will report something the next days. Thanks.

Updating an unstable system isn't smart, the unstable part will usually be carried over and the upgrade will also cause more problems.

Updating those drivers did not help much. I think it is related to Win8 (DEFAULT_BUCKET_ID: WIN8_DRIVER_FAULT). Anyway everything started there, should I bring the system back to its original state just to find out the same BSOD or we can continue from this point?

This last BSOD seems to be related to "dxgmms2.sys" which belongs to Microsoft, according to the list of drivers in the Driver Verifier. How is it possible? However this would explain why the system has been unstable from the beginning.

I attach the new information from the Log Collector:

That doesn't say much more than that Windows 8 engine is used, this is something you'll see more when you check more dumps.

As I said, you need to be at BSOD Crashes and Debugging - Windows 10 Forums
