Can't find any info with a quick search. I am more a hardware, not software guy. If anyone has a solution that would be appreciated.

ALSO - I don't know if this is related but it is a $1000 gaming rig with an SSD, boots up great, but takes about 5 minutes to shut down. Reason for this?

do you have an external hard drive? because i have one and when i shutdown with it plugged in it takes forever aswell as when i unplug it while im running something off it (ventrilo, etc) it will BSOD

Bug Check 0x3B: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION

This indicates that an exception happened while executing a routine that transitions from non-privileged code to privileged code.


In addition: BCP1 = 0xC0000005: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION, meaning the cause of the crash was memory corruption.

As its very unlikely a windows service has a memory corruption issue, either a driver is corrupting memory, or you have a RAM error. Of the two, a RAM error is more likely.

Run memtest86 for a few hours and report back.

That's the thing is that it's hit and miss. Somedays, like today, I started up 3 or 4 times with no errors / blue screens / weird things. Unlike yesterday where I was up to 4 or 5 times rebooting before it was stable.

Best solution

Take out any unnecessary hardware like sound cards and stuff and then run some basic hardware tests, memtest, seatools/wdtools and if you can't find anything wrong then stress test it overnight with prime 95 or something to try to recreate problems. After that I would suggest running an sfc /scannow repair to see if there are any corrupted system files and hopefully from there you have a good idea of what's going on.
