Hi guys,
I've joined the community in hopes that you might be of help with a problem that I am encountering on a newly bought laptop.
I've formatted it and installed Windows 10 as this specific Asus make and model only supports Windows 10 drivers.
The make and model of the laptop is a ASUS R510VX-DM151D.
Strangest thing is happening to me. From time to time my computer freezes either when I power it on and log into Windows or when I shut it down. Normally, I won't receive a BSOD, the image will just freeze, the processor will start to run at maximum power by the sounds of it and it will remain hung there unless I turn it off manually.
I replaced the HDD it had in it with a SSD ingston SSDNow V300, 240GB, 2.5", SATA III and added another 8 GB RAM Kingston 8GB SODIMM, DDR4, 2133MHz, CL15, 1.2V.
When I first installed the Windows image I installed the drivers from the CD I received but I still got random freezes. I went to the manufacturer's website and downloaded the latest drivers but that still happened.
I went ahead and formatted the drive and installed a fresh copy of Windows and let Windows get the updates automatically. This lead to fewer frozen screens, however I still receive them.
I've ran 8 memtests and everything seems to be fine, I've checked the HDD and everything seems to be in order. I've disabled the Sleep and Hibernate as I know sometimes this feature may cause issues. I even disabled the IMEI just in case.
I've downloaded the WhoCrashed app and get the following information:

This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.
