Im days, maybe even weeks into this now. I built this pc in february, not so much as a hiccup since.

Unfortunately all at once i updated several drivers, updated my bios, and upgraded to a new gpu.

During the course of trying to solve this, i corrupted my windows install, rolled up to an insider build hoping to fix the issue, restored to an older image - re-installed just about every single driver i could think of...yet here i am.

Unfortunately the crashes are completely random. Often under no load whatsoever. I can run realbench, or ibt, or memtest and have no errors for hours on end - but something in windows is kicking my teeth in.

Here are my current 2 dumps from today. They usually point to ntoskrnl or rarely iastor. or systor/storsys or whatever it is. I get the full range from, bad header, to bad pool caller, dpc watchdog.

whocrashed hasnt been helpful other than "software driver issue" more or less.

I even tried to upload one here but i couldnt make much of it. http://www.osronline.com/dump/DA2.cfm

here is a dump from a few hours ago. Been posting here or there forum-wise but havent had much luck with help as of yet.

thanks for any time/help :)
 
Windows 10 insiders builds have more issues and bugs than the released to the public Windows 10 versions.
So if you want less issues, you should not try an insiders build.

The only issue I see on that dump files is with the driver storahci.sys.

with the Microsoft storahci.sys driver by following these steps:

We need to find out which controller is using the driver.
Go to Device Manager and expand IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers.
Right click Standard SATA AHCI Controller, select Properties, click the Drivers tab, the click the Driver Details button. It should show the storahci.sys driver.
Click the Details tab, select Hardware Ids from the drop down menu.
You might see several ids listed. Copy and paste each id and click search for each one onto the Microsoft Update Catalog website until you find the driver.
Click Add to add the drivers to the basket, the click the basket the the Download button to get the file.
Download the Windows 10 drivers for the controller and make sure that if there is more than one drivers listed you select the appropriate version (32-bit or 64-bit)
After downloading the drivers, unzip them (you could use 7zip)

Go back to the Driver tab, select Update Driver…
Click Browse my computer for driver software.
Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
Select Have disk...button, click Browse and navigate to the folder where the drivers are located.
Select the inf file, click OK and follow the prompt to update the driver.
Restart your computer.

hi, and thank you for the reply.

it appears that the dump i uploaded to the online analyzer was purged. They must not keep them around long.

I dont use insider builds regularly. I upgraded to one in an attempt to solve the issues, it was for naught though. Ive already long since rolled back.

Ive just completely purged my sata drivers and my chipset drivers and reinstalled the newest version of each available - so we shall see how it goes. Hopefully I can come back with some good news but im not holding my breath just yet.

it seems to be a different driver/file causing the crash nearly every time.

Time will tell.
