Hi, I hope this is the right place for this. I've been getting BSOD on my PC for a while now. The only thing that I can do that seems to reduce the likelihood of getting a crash is deäctivating my microphone, but nothing else seems to work. I get a wide variety of crashes like

rtwalne_13.sys
ntoskrnl.exe
hal.dll
cng.sys
amdppm.sys

I have no clue how to get rid of these conflicts and I have tried doing a clean install multiple times, but it never works. I built my own computer about 3 years ago and it started crashing not less than a year after building it.

I'll be happy to provide any information necessary to fix this.

Thank you so much!

Now normally at this stage I would show you how to post dump files here but the people who can read them haven't been around as much recently so you might be best following the posting instructions here: http://www.tenforums.com/bsod-crashes-debugging/ - they have more people there that will look at it right away and help you fix this last freeze.

My guess is its an old driver we cannot see just by using whocrashed. we could try the driver verifier but I feel tenforums answer question from logs. They probably ask you to run verifier anyway. I would just follow their ideas before mine :)

right click start button
choose command prompt (admin)
type SFC /scannow and press enter

this scans system files and may fix this behaviour
once its done, copy/paste this into same window:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

that might help with cng.sys
rtwaine is an unknown

The genuine amdppm.sys file is a software component of AMD Processor Driver by Advanced Micro Devices.
The chipset support driver for the AMD processor, this application starts with Windows and provides advanced optimization support for your AMD processor. It allows you to configure a small amount of options to assist in your processors performance and efficiency.

http://www.file.net/process/amdppm.sys.html

looks like you need a new chipset driver from motherboard makers web site.

NTOSKRNL = New Technology Operating System Kernel - critical part of windows, also deals with driver requests. Gets blamed for their mistakes
HAL = Hardware Abstraction Layer - Another critical part of windows, deals with software & hardware interactions

can you download and run who crashed: http://www.resplendence.com/whocrashed
it will give us a summary of the errors to start with

Copy/paste results in here

Well, I downloaded those drivers and updated all of the others through the device manager, but I still got this crash:

win32kbase.sys
from bug string: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION

WhoCrashed said this about it:

I must say though, the crashes have become far less frequent :)

Yeah, I ran that, but it said nothing was wrong there. The crashes have gone from about once every 20 minutes to once every 70 or 80. It mostly crashes whenever I'm playing a game or using my mic.
