Okay, so I got a decent gaming computer for Christmas close to 2 years ago. After about a year of using it, I started getting the BSOD. At first, it was just maybe once a month. No big deal. Eventually, it got to the point where I saw one a week. Okay, slightly worrying. Now, all the sudden it started giving me the BSOD on a daily basis, anywhere from once a day to a whopping 10 times a day. Unfortunately, we're a relatively poor family so I don't have the money to get it fixed by a professional, so I took to myself to figure it out. To start, I wiped my entire computer and started from scratch, reinstalling required drivers, getting windows updates, etc. Then I downloaded Skyrim, because I needed some way to reproduce the result, and I knew for a fact that Skyrim can cause it to happen in relatively short span of time. Got another three blue screens from it, but not in the normal fashion. The first two I got while downloading Skyrim from Steam. The third one I got while I was sleeping (I left Skyrim on just to see if I could make it crash). Note that all 3 times I was never at the Computer, nor was anything else open besides Discord, Steam, and Skyrim. I then used BlueScreenViewer to look at the .dmp's produced. All of them had ntoskrnl.exe in them as the faulting application. So, I looked up what would cause it, which appears to be memory or driver issues. I ran the Windows Memory Diagnostic 6 times to check for RAM problems, with no luck. Also, before all this, I made sure to reseat the RAM and anything in PCI's just to make sure they weren't loose. I'm tired of trying to fix my computer now, and I just want help to get this done and over with.

Here's the link to my system specs (complimentary of DxDiag) and the .dmp files.

Edit: Also, I get one beep when my computer starts, which means that the keyboard is disconnected. Little weird, considering I'm using it right now...

Sadly been getting the same issue, get upto 7 Bsods a day. Mostly while watching something as far as i've gone : Replaced My Motherboard, and PSU : Not Fixed, Got new GPU recently so that's not the issue, haven't tried the ram yet. Replaced Hard drive yesterday, so i'm still having problems even after a clean install of windows 10. Could someone let us know if they have a fix, most my Dmp files indicate that it's a driver issue, but I can't pinpoint which ones :/ here's my DMP files:

I wouldn't worry about replacing your hardware, What's your specs? We shall figure this out together :D

EDIT:
Bought some more ram today going to see if it's a problem with memory leaks and such.
Bagaznal, since you said you had checked your memory using the Windows Diagnostic, you should try running MemTest, as far as i'm sure it's much more reliable. This is because the Windows Diagnostic seems to miss out quite a lot of problems for some odd reason.

Thank You Mati8881, Please let me know how it goes. I do got new RAM lined up just incase but the new ram won't allow clearance of the Heatsink for the CPU i been using (Noctua DH14) so i'm looking into a another heatsink (Arctic Freezer 240 Liquid Cooler) problem is i don't know if that will fit into my CM Stormtrooper case. Google Searches have been inconclusive if it will fit or not. Still Hoping it's just drivers since i find it real suspect i get Windows 10 and all hell broke lose.

also good luck to Bagaznal hoping someone will have a solution to this.

Seems I have had a Faulty ram stick, replaced one with a brand new one and my PC hasn't crashed since, for some reason everytime my PC crashed it directed me to the drivers running on the RAM. And yeah my PC also started crashing since I upgraded it to windows 10. Been having this problem for the past few months now. Depending on how much ram you have it's going to be harder for you to find the broken one, Since I only had 2 sticks it was 50/50. I wish you goodluck with the problem, ill stick around for some more just in case anyone needs help.
