I really appreciate what this community does so I'll try to get to the point asap so as not to make the text too long.

I was given away this HP All in One 200 PC less than a week ago because it was not even booting into the desktop due to a continuous loop of BSOD. First thing I did was format all the PC and re-install Windows 10 Home x64. I was able to get it running and everything was going smoothly until two days later when, by trying to see if I could provoke a BSOD, I actually did, meaning issue was not completely solved yet. A new loop of BSOD (I'll add more info on these down below) started and ended when Windows thought it might be a good idea to repair itself. This was two days ago. Since then, I've been trying to diagnose what the cause is, while spending a ton of time trying to cause a new loop of BSOD after trying something new (they happen so randomly it just pisses me off a bit. I can open around 80 tabs of Google Chrome and it'll run well, I can close them and go afk while the PC is just chilling on the desktop, and a BSOD will pop).

What I've tried so far: Testing Ram sticks (2x2GBs) with Window's diagnose tool, and Memtest86 (No errors), playing around with the Ram sticks by swaping places, removing one, removing the other, etc (I found someone had broken down one of the "arms" that hold the Ram in Slot 1 so I figured that could be a reason as that particular stick is not really properly placed. I have to say though, using the PC with only one of the Ram sticks became so enfuriating that I'd need someone to tell me if I should go on with the tests to provoke a BSOD. Previous owner said he tried a brand new SSD and the error was still there. I also assumed it was him who broke down the memory slot while trying to diagnose the BSOD. Current and voltage on the AC/DC power adapter was just fine. I've also tried getting quite acquainted with the issue and its potential causes, but it's only driven me crazy. I'd like to be able to use the Driver Verifier on the PC but no such tool is available :(

Idk if you guys would wanna know the kind of errors I've found so you can skip this if you wish. Page Fault in Nonpaged Area; APC Index Mismatch; IRQL Not Less or Equal, Memory Management, KMode Exception Not Handled; Quota Underflow; Driver Verifier Iomanager Violated; Kernel Security Check Failure (missing some most likely but I just stopped writing them down after a while). What caused them (In no particular order because it looked like as if Windows was just picking an error out of a list and showing it): dxgmms1.sys; acpi.sys; tcpip.sys; pci.sys; netr28x.sys; win32kful.sys; ntfs.sys; aswarpot.sys; igdkmd64.sys.

I'm probably missing some info or data you'd wanna know so just ask and I'll provide. Here goes the listing!




A brief description of your problem (but you can also include the steps you tried)
Done

System Manufacturer?
HP

Laptop or Desktop?
I think you can consider it a Desktop

Windows 10 Home

x64

What was original installed OS on system?
Windows 7

Is the OS an OEM version (came pre-installed on system) or full retail version (YOU purchased it from retailer)?
Original Windows 7 was OEM. Windows 10 upgrade must be done by its previous owner.

Age of system? (hardware)
Don't really know

Age of OS installation?
Few days old

Have you re-installed the OS?
Yes

CPU
Intel i3 550

RAM (brand, EXACT model, what slots are you using?)
Hynix 2GB PC3-10600S HMT325S6BFR8C-H9. Slot 1 is broken, slot 2 is fine. Got x2 DIMMs

Video Card
IGPU. Don't know exactly which.

MotherBoard - (if NOT a laptop)
Hewlet-Packard 2AA6

Power Supply - brand & wattage (if laptop, skip this one)
HP N17908 AC Adapter (19V and 7.89A Output)

Is driver verifier enabled or disabled?
Um. I don't have it. I'm not sure I'm being completely oblivious or if this can be a thing in fact

What security software are you using? (Firewall, antivirus, antimalware, antispyware, and so forth)
Avast Premium Security

Are you using proxy, vpn, ipfilters or similar software?Are you using Disk Image tools? (like daemon tools, alcohol 52% or 120%, virtual CloneDrive, roxio software)
No

Are you currently under/overclocking? Are there overclocking software installed on your system?
No




The computer decided to go absolutely mental right now and won't let me run it for more than a minute so no Speccy today. If it's necessary, I'll try again tomorrow. I really appreciate if anyone takes the time to look into this.

Best regards,
Zetthen.

Where did you obtain the Windows 10 Home x64 ISO and key code from?
Installed Windows 10 from the Media Creation Tool in a USB of my own and license is pirate. I can reinstall Windows 7 with its original product key and upgrade from there but I wanted to know if the extra time would be worth it.
 
Hey Zetthen,

Unfortunately we're not able to provide assistance for pirated software.

Aside from anything else, cracked copies of Windows can make BSOD troubleshooting even more difficult, as cracks will often interfere with the system.

If you want to salvage the machine, I'd suggest installing a legitimate copy of Windows, or alternatively using a free OS like Linux.
 
I undestand, I'll take the time to reinstall Windows 7 with its original product key and come back if everything goes well.
 
If you want to see how the system (specifically the hardware) will perform with Windows 10 - simply download the official Windows 10 Enterprise Edition 90 day trial version from Microsoft -

Try Windows 10 Enterprise on Microsoft Evaluation Center

If the Windows 10 Enterprise Edition runs OK, a valid, Genuine Windows 10 Home version legally updated from Windows 7 should run just fine as well.

As Senior Administrator @Will Watts mentioned, we are unable to assist you with your current setup due to the crack, but can assist you with this Microsoft Genuine Windows 10 trial version.

Going this route with the 90-day Windows 10 trial version will cut a literal ton of time off of your testing the system running Windows 10.

Regards. . .
