Alright, so I the BSODs are back in full force. Today I received a KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED, SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION, and MEMORY_MANAGEMENT errors. I uploaded those to my Google Drive in case they help. After every one of these BSODs, when Windows booted back in, it automatically initiated...

At this point, the IRQL BSOD and the orange error light on my motherboard are the only things that suggest more memory issues. I'll try another Memtest on a bootable USB to see if it shows anything. How would I test with Ubuntu to see if it's a Windows issue? I'm not particularly familiar with...

Hi Colif, here's a link to a Google Drive with some minidumps in it. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1K5cM5ZapoOXqOcSDbSEBa1d7dZxG8I42?usp=sharing I have since replaced the PSU, however I have gotten a handful of BSODs even afterwards, though so far they have not been anywhere as...

Oh, yeah disabling driver updates would be good, since I've already found Windows doesn't always pick the best ones. Will definitely do that! As for Driver Verifier, it's not a program I installed, it's used via command prompt directly from the OS. Since it's built into the OS, I can't get rid...

Hmm. Got two new blue screens, one when I shut down last night and a another today while watching a video on YouTube on Chrome. The one last night happened as a clicked on shut down, which triggered a reboot instead. The message I got was Kernal_Security_Check_Failure. Today I got...

Ok, well on that note I found a good deal on Newegg for a Corsair RM550x Gold. It's listed as good in the post in your spoiler, and Tomshardware's review is pretty glowing and it has a 10 year warranty, so I might pull the trigger on that. As far as drivers go, I did find that Windows put in a...

I'll try looking through the Event Viewer logs to see if I can find the earliest incidents of blue screens. Could at least help narrow down approximately when to look in the update history. Yeah, this is a desktop I built myself about 8 years ago. Here's my hardware: CPU: Ryzen 1500X...

Hi! I'm hoping someone here can help with some annoying blue screens I've been getting lately. Basically, I'm getting various blue screens, seemingly at random (I've yet to find any connecting trends so far). I'm running Windows 10 on a self built PC that's been running fine for years. The...

@ronintexas- whoops, forgot that part! It's a 2.4Ghz N connection. We actually have two main networks running simultaneously; the older of the two is an unsecured connection that requires a username/password to log in when a browser is opened. The newer one was installed about 3 years ago and is...

Hi everyone! Ok, so here's the deal. I live in the dorms of the college I go to, which provides free Wifi throughout the entire campus, including said dorms. Now, I fully understand that every computer is different and Wifi itself has some inconsistencies with speed due to interference and such...

Okay, so I've been looking into upgrading my GPU, mostly because it's getting a bit dated. Based on my budget range and the hierarchy chart on this site, I'm thinking something along the lines of the HD 7850/7870 or R7 265/R9 270. I'm trying to find something around $150 that will have...

Yeah, I tried LogMeIn (Hamachi, right) and it was only doing like 1-2mbps, which is odd because my normal internet speed according to Speedtest.net is around 15-25mbps depending on how many people are using the internet. Unless there are some settings I should be looking at, or I'm doing...

Desktop: Win7 Ultimate 64-bit Rosewill USB 2.0 RNX-N250UBE Wireless Adapter Laptop: Win7 Home Premium 64 bit Atheros AR9285 Not sure what else to list that is pertinent here, but anyways- I live in a college campus dormitory that has a campus-wide WiFi network. I'm...

Okay, so here's a weird one. When I play any kind of video online, the playback audio is super stuttery, but the video itself will be (reletively) C655-S5049, with the only modification being that I have upgraded the RAM up to 4GB. Now for the odd part- the audio plays just fine if I don't have...

Ah, guess I should've mentioned that as well. The adapter is on the top of my case. I'm have the NZXT Phantom 410, which has some USB ports on top slightly angled to the right (if that makes any sense). I have my computer up on a desk with the back facing a brick wall, which is why I put the...
