So it’s since a year i built my pc and during this time i had to clean install OS 3 times, seems like every 3/4 months my pc just breaks, all of these BSOD errors gives differents codes. The last crashes give me WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR, SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION and VIDEO_SCHEDULAR_ERROR. The BSODs at first were rare (just 1 per day only when my pc was idle on desktop) and then a lor more frequently. While playing No Man’s sky i changed a video options, pc totally freeze and then crash. After reset it last 10 minutes that i can’t even navigate file explorer that a popup says “Windows not responding” and then another crash. As i said my pc works fine for 3/4 months, i clean install windows 10 and it start to works fine. So since it seems to be some corrupted file o drivers, at this points i’m still worried about my hardware. If one of my components is failing should my pc crash just after OS install right? it’s normal that windows breaks so frequently? sorry but im just very worried since i have no experience with these things and i really hope all my components are good for now
Technically you’re correct. But bad drivers can also cause blue screens…
How are you installing drivers? Hopefully from the motherboard manufacture website and your GPU website.
The BSOD you were experiencing sounds strange. But if there were compounding issues, a fresh install fixing them is not too surprising.
It could have been some kind of driver conflict after a Windows update? If it happens again, make a note of the date and exact time, then check event viewer for any error logs leading up to the crash. It would also allow you to figure out if a specific windows update install might have contributed to it.
If installing all your software, drivers, and updating everything causes the problem to return, then it’s worth trying to narrow down what is causing it.
To me, it doesn’t sound like a hardware issue, but I could be wrong. Ideally you want exactly 1 thing to break at a time, so you can fix it before moving to the next problem, but when multiple things cause cascading failures (like you describe one application crashing and causing windows itself to also crash), then it can be harder to unpack the multiple faults that were lined-up like dominoes to cause it.
The truth is that until you find the problem, a reliable way to trigger it, then fix it, and confirm it is fixed, the root of the problem could still be there somewhere.
But if your PC is working now, that’s good. If you notice any of the strange behaviour happen again, try to follow up on it before more problems pile up, and it will be easier to troubleshoot.
If it was a hardware problem, then it might need the system to be under a specific type of load that won’t happen until you’ve restored all the software/drivers etc. For example if there was issues with the RAM, you might not notice until the system actually tries to use all your RAM. There are stress-test software for most components that can help figure stuff out.
Prime32 is pretty great for CPU stress testing, helped me notice issues with an overclocked CPU, and I’ve used a RAM test before that identified a faulty module for me once. With GPU, there are lots of tests out there, and new ones come out fairly often, so I’ve not got a specific one I’d recommend, usually you’re mostly testing the thermals/power draw with those.
