Hello folks,
This is an ongoing issue with a ~1 year old PC.
When I first built it, about a year ago, it was causing the exact same issue, it would randomly (completely random, could be gaming, browsing, even when left on the desktop) restart, no dumps, with the sound freezing, only getting the Kernel 41 error in the event log. After unticking automatically restart on system failure in the control panel, it just hangs with a black screen, needing a hard restart.
After a few windows installs I figured it was either caused by one of the M/B Wifi Drivers or one of the Network drivers. I wasn't exactly sure, and, since the network was working, I did a clean Windows install, without installing either of those two (from the M/B site) and it worked fine.
Couple of nvidia driver related BSODs once in a blue moon, but even those had gone away with the last 3 or so drivers released by Nvidia.
Fast forward 5 days ago, and it's returned. The crashes returned, specifically, immediately after installing an Android emulator, which also installed a virtual drive driver. I initially thought it was temps (it's really hot right now, in the summer), but after monitoring even under heavy load and for an extended time, they look good.
As such, I did a clean windows install, again skipping the drivers from the M/B that were causing issues in the past. But the problem persists.
First, the system info:
· Windows 8.1 x64
· Retail version (acquired through Microsoft Dreamspark, not sure if relevant)
· Intel Core i5 4670k (at stock, haven't really found any need for OC yet)
· Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780 Ti WindForce 3X OC
· ASUS Z87-Pro C2
· Corsair AX 860 80+ Platinum
· RAM Corsair Vengeance Pro 1600 MHz 2x4
· OS installed on SSD Samsung 840 Evo, using a WD as storage
What I've done in the last two days, after the clean install: Ran Memtest, both sticks fail at hammer test, but from reading a bit around, this is not a major cause for concern?
Re-seated everything bar CPU, just in case.
Also attaching the file collection tool results. I couldn't run Perfmon, even with the hidden admin account, it returns "The operator or administrator has refused the request."
Please let me know if I have omitted any other info.
Thanks in advance!
