Crashes caused by suspected hardware problems

I ran CrystalDiskInfo, which gives detailed SMART status on all my drives, including my two SSDs in RAID. Everything checked out perfectly. The highest temp was 32° C, with most temps clustering in the upper twenties. Removing one stick of RAM did not affect the crashes, which are continuing...

There are no obvious signs of failure on the motherboard.

Crashes caused by suspected hardware problems

Thanks for your help, guys! I appreciate it very much. I have not experienced any BSODs - just the crashes and the freezes. I haven't done any specific tests on the disks. My main drives are SSDs, and I have some auxiliary HDDs for large storage. Would you recommend anything other than...

Crashes caused by suspected hardware problems

I am running Windows 10 Pro on an Intel i5-4670k CPU with an ASRock OC Formula Z87 motherboard and 16 GB of Corsair memory. I built this system exactly four years ago. Even though I overclocked the CPU to 4.7 GHz, for the first three years the system ran flawlessly, with not a single crash...

[10v1709b16299.248 x64] Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair servic

I was using a keyboard shortcut program (HotkeyP) that opened the command prompt at c:\windows\system32. However, as HotkeyP is a 32-bit program, Windows in its infinite wisdom redirected it over to C:\Windows\SysWOW64, where it got the 32-bit version of the command prompt. Having run into...

[10v1709b16299.248 x64] Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair servic

Yes, I had started procmon immediately before executing the sfc command. This time, I executed procmon right before opening the command prompt window. The resulting log file is now huge - many times more than the previous time - and so I have put it on my Google drive, with the link sysnative.zip.

Computer periodically overwhelmed by phantom keypresses

Both keyboards used the extension cord. Unfortunately, my keyboard is far enough away from the computer that the extension cord is a necessity. I can't simply hook up the keyboard directly, as it's not really usable that way (far from the monitor and all that), and this problem happens only...

Computer periodically overwhelmed by phantom keypresses

Once every few weeks, I'll be typing along, and all of a sudden, endless repetitions of the letter 'w' will start to appear in whatever program I'm in. Switching the focus to another program simply redirects the stream of 'w's (always 'w's) to that other program. The only way to get rid of the...

[10v1709b16299.248 x64] Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair servic

I get the error message in the title whenever I try to run the command "sfc /scannow". This has been happening for quite a while. I have tried the popular solution of running the command "sc config trustedinstaller start=demand"(and different variants for the "start" command argument) followed...
