one bsod everyday

[TerranGaming]

hi,

i get a bsod everyday around 5 minutes after start up, then pc restart quickly becuase of ssd and does not happen again until i start up again until the next day. I already did a ram check and my drivers are up to date. Also cleaninstalled windows but it started happening again after little more than a week.
does anyone know what the issue might be?

kind regards

My guess is a motherboard issue. Have you tried upgrading your bios? Try also unbolting the motherboard to take it out of your case. Set it on your motherboard box while everything is still connected. Test and see if its a case grounding issue.

but how does that work if it only happens once? i mean a hardware issue would mean that it happens on every startup right?

didn't you say that it DOES happen on every start up?

the first startup of the day, i know really weird

Yes in this case its a software bios issue if you dont have the latest version . Could also be the motherboard grounding issue.

it's possible its a grounding issue for sure. its just strange that it's so easily repeatable.

sounds like a broken circuit trace. When the system cools down the circuit can contract and a chip can loose contact with the circuit trace. You provide power and the chip heats up in a few seconds and then works as expected until the next cold cycle when the machine goes totally off.

try and boot into BIOS and let the machine warm up before you attempt to boot into windows. Generally you will only have to wait for 20 seconds then attempt to boot into windows.

These are kind of a pain to isolate but are often in a memory circuit. The last one of these I have isolated took a lot of effort, in the end I found the bad connection on a address leg of one of the RAM chips on a SIMM memory card. I had to take off the heat sink and view the card under a stereoscope to see the little crack between the leg and the solder joint on the pad. It was just brittle lead free solder that they started using in 2008 to protect the environment. In my case the address line could change its value when it got warm. windows device drivers were being loaded into this memory so the device driver data would just move by a memory block offset and crash the driver.

you can remove sticks until you find a stick that causes the problem. Hopefully it will be on a removable circuit, kind of sucks if it is on your motherboard.

in my case, if I turned the power on for 30 seconds and rebooted my machine would be ok until it was cold again. It took about 45 minutes to cool down before I would see the problem again on the next boot.

yeah that seems like a logical awnser, i tried updating my bios but it did not work, good thing i was planning on buying a new motherboard and ram + cpu anyway.
thanks for all the awnser guys.
