which power supply do you use?

BIOS up to date? Only update it inside BIOS using ez flash and a USB flash drive with the current BIOS unzipped on it.

My power supply is a coolmax zu1000b. the bios was 0906. i just updated to 1009.

 

[helpstar]

replace the coolmax zu1000b with a real power supply, which wouldn´t burn down your house in case of a faulty power supply.

a good gold PSU with at least 5years of warranty with 550Watt will do


check HDD and SSD with its manufacturer´s tool and eventually update the firmware

I would be looking for a update to the intel storage driver. get it from your motherboard vendors website or directly from intel. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/detect.html

I would also go and turn off your virtual memory, reboot delete the hidden c:\pagefile.sys
then turn the virtual memory back on. (the pagefile.sys might be deleted when you turn of virtual memory, depends the version of windows)

bugcheck showed a problem with virtual memory.

guess it could also be a firmware bug if you have a SSD you might also look for a firmware update. most likely just a bug in the intel storage driver.

the driver is pretty new:
\SystemRoot\System32\drivers\iaStorA.sys Fri Mar 17 07:32:24 2017

if you can not find a update, use the one from your motherboard vendors website. (or use the default micrsoft driver)

you might also run a Malwarebytes scan. some malware like to hide in the pagefile.sys

guess you could also download and run
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/rammap
and use rammap to empty the various working sets
to help clean up the pagefile.sys and the contents of memory that gets preloaded by window memory manager

ok i updated my intel storage driver and ssd firmware. i ran rammap but i am thinking my power supply is going out. going to replace it as its pretty old to begin with.

 

[red98talon]

replaced power supply to find out one of my hard drives was shorting out causing the issue this whole time.

 

[helpstar]

maybe because of the old power supply?

 

[red98talon]

im pretty sure the power supply is fine. i tested it with my tester and found no issues. it was my oldest hard drive that i dont even use. when i plugged the new power supply into that hard drive or the old one after i switched them, it would trip and not boot up. eventually the hard drive itself popped after a couple tries of powering it on. i was removing one cable at a time to figure out what was causing my pc to not boot up. im now getting a different blue screen every once in awhile for watchdog violation but i think i got that fixed with driver updates.

 

[red98talon]

well i thought i had it but i guess not. getting the same bsod. here is the new mini dump

this seems to happen most of the times when a game of player unknown battlegrounds is starting.
