Unidentified series of crashes.

Specs:
AMD 8320 (No overclock)
MSI R9 280 (small factory overclock not X)
WD Black 1TB (173GB free)
ASUS M5A97 EVO R2.0
8GB Corsair Vengeance
Windows 10 64-bit
(all components less than 2 years old.)

Problem:
Over the past few weeks I have been getting a series of crashes, initially my speakers would abruptly stop working and I would have to reinstall the drivers several times for them to work. The specific error code on the blue screen was '' SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (lvrs64.sys)'' which I have received twice so far. I initially thought this to be because my hard drive was nearly full and so I uninstalled 100GB worth of games, since then I have not received any more errors of that nature.
However I also have crashes where the screen goes white after the speakers make a loud buzzing noise. To my knowledge all drivers are up to date. Peforming an sfc_scannow proves no results. I do not overheat and games work perfectly at 60fps without issue.

I believe the crash is either due to the hard drive or my graphics card but without much experience I cannot be sure.

When you upgraded to Windows 10 did you do a clean install of the operating system? If you didn't do a clean install of the OS then you could have file and driver fragments causing performance issues and random crashes. I would suggest doing a clean install of Windows 10.

This is a nice guide to follow complete with illustrations. Make sure that you first back up all your important information and files as you will loose them all. Select the option when doing a clean install to remove everything.

Thank you for the quick responce, would you also know a guide for adding an SSD to the system as the main drive, whilst also having the HDD for holding the majority of the data? (preferably without having to lose the data already on the HDD)

This is a pretty good guide, don't have to use Seagate, but they are good hard drives.

Of course the problem is going to be that you will still have the same problems you are having now as you are cloning the drive and then booting to the SSD instead. I would recommend installing your SSD, setting it as your primary boot drive and do a clean install of Windows 10 on the SSD with your current HDD installed as a secondary drive. After you are up and running Windows 10 on your new SSD you can now back up your important files from the HDD and then format it and use it as a basic storage drive and your SSD as your main system drive for improved performance.
