UPDATE: I took it into the shop (still under warranty) and it looks like re-applying thermal paste has sorted out the issue. I'm able to play long play-lists of YouTube videos that would normally make it crash and I can play DOTA 2 for more than 30 seconds (previously it would simply quit)...

Temperature test showed no problems. CPU test showed no problems. Core windows file integrity test is clean (but I did need to fix a problem) ChkDsk finished with no errors. I can reproduce the BSOD by leaving Firefox playing a long playlist of YouTube videos. Was not able to reproduce BSOD in...

Okay - Win10 didn't help at all. Several BSODs. Mostly occurring watching YouTube videos or editing videos. Surrendered. Did a system refresh back to day 1. Went to MSI website and have installed all of the listed drivers, in order, and re-booted after each driver. The NVidia driver has...

Update: On a whim I let my system update to Windows 10. Went up to 3 BSODs a day. Often when accessed remotely (using TeamViewer). Gave up. Did a factory reset. Now I wait and keep my driver updates to a minimum.

Update - no action necessary. SSD has been out for 3 days and no BSOD. I'll update in a week or so and mark as solved.

Update - no action necessary. I pulled out my SSD and went 8 days with no BSOD. I put it back in yesterday and has a BSOD yesterday and one today. I've pulled it out again and will see if I stay stable. I've been keeping up to date with all drivers as well.

Update - no action necessary: Core windows integrity test failed. Working on fixing that. Now passes. Memory diagnostic test passed. chkdsk test passed. No bad sectors found on the C drive. Testing D drive now. No errors on D drive. Malware tested negative.

Quick note: This post is simply and update - no action necessary. Note: DriverMax found version 10.18.14.4208 of the Intel HD Graphics 4600 driver so I installed that prior to running these tests. Starting some of the diagnostics. Processor Diagnostic Test passed I ran the temperature monitor...

I originally went to the MSI site (MSI Global - The best gaming gears maker in the world) and downloaded the 15 or so drivers they have listed (including the BIOS update) and installed them in the order that they specified. I rebooted when asked. I then went from 1 BSOD per day to 3-4 per day...

Update I've updated just about all of the drivers that I could find. I'm using DriverMax PRO to handle the searching and installation. I'm down to a fewer number of BSOD now. Just had one this afternoon so I'm including it. I'm still uncertain how to read these so I appreciate your assistance.

Thanks for looking into that for me. I would have made an attempt myself but I don't know where to start analyzing the dump files. I've updated all of my drivers (according to DriverMax). I also removed the MSI overclocking software driver, just in case. sfc does report that I have issues...

I've been looking through the forums posts trying different steps. The problems started after installing new RAM and a new SSD (which is a secondary SSD). I've run the RAM through MemTest including the hammer test and after 8.5 hours the ram passed with no errors. In spite of having a gaming...
