    Random BSOD on new Windows 8.1 - Mainly with ntoskrnl.exe

    Aaaaaaand, 5 minutes after posting this - BSOD. :( So, I think I'm going to rebuild from scratch. Should only take me an afternoon to do it. I'll tackle it tomorrow.

    Random BSOD on new Windows 8.1 - Mainly with ntoskrnl.exe

    Well, like I said it's only be 4 days. I've gone longer without a BSOD. I was just interested to know about the drivers, and if the cleanup got rid of those older drivers.

    Random BSOD on new Windows 8.1 - Mainly with ntoskrnl.exe

    I basically went through and deleted any unused software (which wasn't much since I keep my system pretty clean). I removed some older drivers, and update the Nvidia Drivers to the latest version (there were new ones out that day coincidentally), after removing them first. So far, there have...

    Random BSOD on new Windows 8.1 - Mainly with ntoskrnl.exe

    Thanks for your help so far. I will be investing in a better cooler. In the meantime I've ramped the fan speed up to MAX in the BIOS/UEFI. I use GeForce experience and keep things pretty much up to date. There is a new driver today, so I'm just updating it now. I'll look at that post you've...

    Random BSOD on new Windows 8.1 - Mainly with ntoskrnl.exe

    Sorry, here are the dumps again. I did some cleanup, but I had a question above about drivers. See above ^ I'm running an i7 4790K with no OC

    Random BSOD on new Windows 8.1 - Mainly with ntoskrnl.exe

    The more I look at it, the more I think CPU cooling could be the problem. With so many random errors, I'm wondering whether the stock CPU fan is even good enough. Currently just after I re-applied thermal paste and re-seated the CPU and Fan, the temp is already 50C and I'm not doing anything...

    Random BSOD on new Windows 8.1 - Mainly with ntoskrnl.exe

    4 more quick succession BSOD's. All different. Minidumps attached. The first 2 times I wasn't even using the PC. It was locked, with the 2nd one rebooting without me even logging in!! :/ I've cleaned up some of the drivers I think, but I don't know for sure. Where are you the date...

    Random BSOD on new Windows 8.1 - Mainly with ntoskrnl.exe

    The machine is brand new. Pretty much brand new everything, which is what is most annoying about this. I'm going to try and remove the CPU/Fan, and redo the thermal paste, and re-seat everything. But I'm not sure that is the problem, as even at that high temp, it didn't crash as I would have...

    Random BSOD on new Windows 8.1 - Mainly with ntoskrnl.exe

    So have run a bunch of tests today, and during testing/stress have not been able to replicate the BSOD. This is with all existing hardware connected. Prime95 - Ran for 2 hours without any problems. Saw CPU temp sitting at 95C, which seemed pretty high but it was running fine (but this is one...

    Random BSOD on new Windows 8.1 - Mainly with ntoskrnl.exe

    That was my fear. Are there specific tests that I should focus on here based on what you see? I've run the memtest already and this was clean. My worry was the SSD which holds the OS (and I did update the firmware on it recently because it had apparent issues with Windows 8.1), but I also run...

    Random BSOD on new Windows 8.1 - Mainly with ntoskrnl.exe

    Been getting a lot of BSOD messages recently on my very new Windows 8.1 machine (both hardware and software), a lot of them are not creating dumps. Mainly related to ntoskrnl.exe but a number of crashes related to possible driver issues. Have run/tried the following: Malwarebytes - Not a...
