Im absolutely stumped over this one. Recently i believe my SSD crapped the bed, might have been due to a recent power outage, but it was weeks before. Afterwards, one day i noticed my computer was in black screen, but the peripherals were powered so i forced a shut down. After that it wouldnt boot. Acted like it wasnt recognizing the SSD at all. Looked in the case, light was on the SSD but wouldnt work. Unplugged things, tried different sata ports etc etc decided it was dead. Installed windows on a HDD did updates yadda etc. Started getting blue screens on start up. driver power state failure over and over. constantly gave me the ntoskrnl.exe module error. Eventually it started saying it was a RAZER driver, So i tried to uninstall all those drivers, even in safe mode, it just wasnt having it, and the blue screens persisted. So, i went back to windows 7. Worked fine. but the
noticeable loss in performance while gaming started to bother me. so i decided to try windows 10 again. Upgraded, everything installed fine, everything worked fine. A week or so later, im starting to have the same BSOD only when im starting the computer for the first time of the day. Lets say that every time i shut down the pc, then try to start it, it will BSOD while loading all the programs at startup. It will restart, then everything will work fine???? Im typing this on the pc in question. Im kind of at a loss at this point. Im wondering if maybe this Razer Black widow that i spilled water on a couple months ago, and then tore apart to blow dry and clean out is somehow causing this? The one thing i noticed, back when i got that black screen, the leds on the mouse were on, but the keyboard was not. im gonna add the data from Whocrashed in case that is helpful to someone more experienced with all this than i.
