Over the last month or so, my computer has started bluescreening, with the frequency only increasing. I’ve tried resetting windows twice to no avail, and I started writing down every stop code in the last two days to see if they have anything in common, but have no idea, I’ve tried installing new drivers. Here are the codes that happened in the last 2 days:
irql_not_less_or_equal (happened x6) kmode_exception_not_handled system_service_exception kernel_security_check_failure dpc_watchdog_failure hypervisor_error (happened 2x)
It also randomly restarts sometimes.
Specs? Latest bios? Did you check ram?
Just wanted to say, this is a great example of how to ask for help with a technical issue. I think the others have done a good job giving you next steps but thank you for posting logs and error codes. You will make your IT people at work happy doing things like this :)
They are unrelated stop codes (with each other), and that points to common cause, either software (windows), or hardware (disk or ram most likely).
Since windows is somehow still working, backup important things, and do clean windows install (with deleting system partition - all data and programs will be lost).
And for the hardware side, check disk health (hdd sentinel, crystaldisk info, manufacturer app), and ram (memtest86).
I did a clean windows install 2 days ago, and I ran both crystaldisk info and memtest86, got no errors on both. Should I do a clean windows install again?
