Hi pmhoppe,

It looks like you have a 1TB WD Blue HDD as your boot disk. I'm assuming this isn't what your PC would have come with, when did you start to notice the BSoDs? E.g. after switching to the Blue drive, after installing Windows 10, etc. I would suggest moving your SATA connection to SATA0 on your board if it's not plugged in there already (see item 6).



Unfortunately your E521 wasn't even supported for Windows 7, so any related BIOS and driver updates are basically unusable. This issue has been seen before on older Dell motherboards/computers without Windows 10 support.

Thanks for replying. I upgraded to Windows 10 almost a year ago, and upgraded the HD before that. It was running smoothly until a Windows 10 upgrade on Sept. 29. That's when the BSOD's started. I just ran Memtest86 for 10 passes with no errors and the Seatools HD diagnostics, again no errors.

nvstor is probably shutting down the disk (09)
The Kernel takes a breath and delays (08) for some ms
however it times out and the disk / processor never responds back for a flush?

your Bios is the latest available
> BiosVersion = 1.1.11
> BiosReleaseDate = 08/02/2007

Chipset nVidia 520 and Win10 has no glue to handle it better, there is no update for this:

ProcessorNameString = REG_SZ AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+
Update Status = REG_SZ [COLOR=#ff0000]Newer Patch Not Available[/COLOR]"

might be the disk responds to fast, however fails due to its modern firmware, pretty old system and yes reached its limit.
a small chance with a smaller disk, not SATA III but II might do the trick but no guaranty.

In most cases, as far as i know, BSOD = Blue Screen of DEATH, is a hardware error that reperesent failure from the system and on to its driver respectively. Software build + Update plays a big role in most cases. In my point of view, you have to run a test regardingthe integrity of the software + the update and most specialy is the compatibility of all hardwares and softwares being put together in the system..

*For old hardwares (check compatibility with your OS)
*For Newly Installed devices (Update your drivers and version)

Solved - Re: BSOD ~ every 24 hours at random times when not being used.

Thanks to everyone for responding. I found the problem solution in another forum. You guys were certainly on the right track. The system was using an Nvidia SATA controller that was not quite compatible. I did a driver update, selecting a generic Microsoft driver from the list and now have been BSOD free for 5 days.
