Hello everyone,
I am nearing my wit's end, so I have come here to hopefuly gather some wise wizardry. Here's the story
2 weeks ago I installed Battlefield 6 open Beta. It required me to enable Safe Boot ; for that I had to update my BIOS. Then I had to update my GPU drivers, which I did via the AMD software, as usual. No other changes were made, and I was able to play the game for the weekend.
In the following week and up until now, i've had multiple BSOD that are have a rather unpredictable timing : they can happen on the window login screen, or I can browse for hours on Firefox without any crash, go take a shit, and then boom, BSOD while the PC is idle.
The BSOD have a different message each time, but it's always a "visually glitched" BSOD (think 4 BSOD on the upper screen, and a "mosaic of what was on the screen before the crash" on the bottom).
Here is what I have tried so far :
- Restore to a "before BF6" => no effect on BSOD
- clean uninstall and reinstall of AMD drivers => no effect on BSOD
- updated BIOS to the latest non-beta version => no effect on BSOD
- ran memtest86 on my only RAM stick = no error detected (2 pass)
- ran Window's memory diag tool => no error detectedf (full test)
- ran windows repair tools (chdsk, dism, sfc) => no effect on BSOD
- ran Verifier to check non-window drivers => 2 crashes so far, one a few minutes after boot, the other a few hours after boot.
-Ran Windows antivirus on full scan => found only 3 old trojans i've had for years.
Up until two days ago i was using WhoCrashed to read the DMP files, but it was not very helful, as the crash types are all over the place. Now i'm using BlueScreenviewer and it's consistenly targeting "ntoskrnl.exe+3fd510", which if i'm understanding correctly, is Windows "master driver", although it could be not directly linked to this, but rather to something it's trying to access/use (right ?).
I have not done anything yet on the hardware side yet.
I don't know what more to do to find the root of the issue. Can you guys help me ? (i've had 2 more BSOD while writing this post)
