Thanks for the tips. I'm going to start researching parts now and hopefully be able to order some stuff in the next few weeks. Any specific suggestions on cases? This is the one I got with this build: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811156098 I like it because it's easy to...

I think you're right. And I'm ready to do it. I'm hoping it won't have to be an entirely new build though, so I hope I can figure out which hardware piece is acting up, if this is a hardware issue at all. I'm thinking my first priority will be to upgrade the motherboard and processor. Maybe the...

Yeah, it's pretty thin due to the age of my motherboard. Mine is not even R2.0, so the only drivers I have for Win 10 are bios, audio, and lan. All are newest. I'm wondering if I can just get rid of AsIO.sys, but I'm not sure. Good point about that being included in those. That must be where it...

Thank you for the info. I updated the OpenVPN driver and I removed bitdefender and replaced it with Avast, which I've previously used for a long time with no problems until I couldn't stand their ads anymore. I'll tough it out. I'm surprised bitdefender had an old driver considering I installed...

Ok, I formatted and reinstalled Windows and everything was fine the first day. I played quite a bit of hearthstone with no problems and thought that was it. Then I was playing a few games of rocket league today to test it some more and it just locks up on me. Not the typical BSOD either, it was...

Cool, I'll go ahead and do that tomorrow night probably. I'm going to leave this thread open for a few days so I can reply to it if something crazy happens, but I'll come back and list it as solved as soon as I test out the new install. Thanks again for all of your help. You've been incredible.

Yes, I ran into that problem when I was trying to upgrade. My HDD had the old hidden windows partition and it was too small, which took me a little while to figure out. I'm going to install to the SSD, so maybe I'll just disconnect the HDD like I did before and reconnect once Windows 10 is...

I see, and I think you're right. It seems like I fix the apparent problem only to discover that it was a symptom of a new problem. You've been so incredibly helpful and I have to keep asking you to dig through this stuff and I hate to do that. Any tips for doing a reinstall and setting...

I know I keep saying it, but thank you so much for the help. I would be dead in the water on this. I had no idea it was going to be a complicated issue, or at least complicated for me. I'm going to run the commands you suggested now and use process explorer to try and figure out which one is...

Thanks for the help. I uninstalled bitdefender and installed Avast for now. Let me know if you think that will be a problem and I can get rid of it too. Not sure why antivirus is giving me so much trouble lately. I changed the memory dump to kernel (thanks John and Colif) and ran verifier...

Thank you so much for your help! I have a few follow up questions so I can execute your instructions. Are you saying I should delete the bit defender driver (gzflt.sys)? Should I uninstall bit defender first or will it still function without that driver? Also, how do I disable the AMD audio bus...

Well, everything ran pretty well so I updated to my latest GPU driver yesterday morning. I played games yesterday, ran unigine for a while to put some pressure on the GPU, and generally tried to stress my system out and had no problems. I was just messing around in hearthstone a minute ago and...

Ah, I see. Thank you so much for taking the time to help me with this. Your insight has been extremely useful. So far I've gotten rid of Avira and updated my outdated drivers. I've been testing it most of today with the basic GPU driver just to be safe and tomorrow I'll reinstall my newest GPU...
