I've been having a BSOD problem for the past few months on my computer. I've been hoping that it would just go away (hey, procrastination is the best!), but it hasn't.
Specs:
AMD FX 6100
ASUS M5A78L-MLX PLUS
Windows 8.1
AMD Radeon HD 7570
I've used BlueScreenView and and it outputted this file (if detailed logs would be useful to anyone): http://pastebin.com/GCbLMPGt It's never the same error. I've gotten NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM, BAD_POOL_CALLER, BAD_POOL_HEADER, MEMORY_MANAGEMENT, APC_INDEX_MISMATCH, SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and a handful of other errors.
What could be the cause? I've established this is hardware related since Ubuntu 14.04 LTS also complains on every boot (of some error I can't remember, it was so annoying that I uninstalled Ubuntu). Furthermore, every compilation gave me a segfault error, which means it's a 1.) code issue (not likely with every piece of code) or 2.) a motherboard/CPU/RAM issue.
My gut feeling is the RAM is bad, but I also slightly bent the leads on a cap on the motherboard when installing, but I don't think it broke it. I would feel bad replacing the whole motherboard just because of one cap, though.
I can't figure out a way to replicate this issue (and Ubuntu might've been "tainted" by the previous errors), so the method of pulling out a stick of RAM at a time doesn't work. If RAM doesn't seem to be the issue, then I won't be able to tell if it's the CPU or motherboard (or something else), and I don't want to go around randomly replacing components. Are these errors a dead giveaway for a certain component?
Thanks for any help in advance! I'd be more than happy to provide more information, if needed.
Edit: Forgot to add that it happens about once or twice a week and it never inhibits boot. It restarts automatically and then everything's back to normal (until the next BSOD restart).
