System specs
I bought this pc in february, since then the only serious problem I had was a BSOD caused by the graphics drivers and after I installed the newest ones (14.2 beta or something like that), no more BSOD’s until 2 days ago.
I was writing a coursework in google docs and the computer froze, the keyboard wasn’t working, the mouse light turned off, the hard drive light turned solid and after a while (20-30 seconds) a blue screen showed up but I couldn’t see the error message because the pc restarted almost immediately.
I checked blue screen viewer but there was no dump file for this BSOD. I started writing again and after a while (15 minutes maybe) another freeze but this time the keyboard was working, I opened task manager, nothing interesting there and then I tried restarting through the start menu but the blue screen was faster. And again there was no dump file.
The next BSOD was after 30 minutes maybe, again in docs. I thought that google docs was the problem, so I stopped using it. I also installed all of the important updates from windows update. There were no problems for the rest of the day but on the next I got a freeze+BSOD in the LoL launcher after I’ve played two games and one dota 2 game before that.
Again no dump files, so I checked event viewer, there was some error about aoddriver 4.2 which didn’t appear before the BSOD’s started. Apparently it has something to do with the graphics drivers, so I uninstalled them and removed the aoddriver 4.2 folder from the registry. I still got a freeze+BSOD.
I installed the latest drivers (14.9.1) and the BS continued. After the first blue screen of the second day it became more random (freeze+BSOD while waiting for windows update, in chrome, while downloading something, in firefox, on the desktop). It happened several times while I was watching a youtube video which started playing in something like a slow-mo.
After one BSOD I turned the computer off/on and for 35-45 minutes there were no problems. I turned it off again and went to bed. Today the freezes started again, seemingly at random. I tried playing an old game: no problems, then world of tanks: freeze+bsod, warframe: the mouse turned itself off but the game was still running and the keyboard was working, after a while I got a red screen (I guess it was a BSOD) and the pc restarted.
I took the computer to a nearby computer repair shop thing, told them what the problem was, they said that I should try reinstalling windows and if the problem persists to bring it back. I tried reinstalling twice, the first time I got a freeze+restart while the setup was copying files and the second time it worked.
After that I didn’t have any problems for 30 minutes but then (6 minutes before the shop’s closing time) I got the same thing, freeze+bsod in google docs. Now an hour has passed with no freezes but 20 minutes ago my mouse stopped working (the light is on) while I was writing this post. I tried another usb port and the mouse now works. I’m forgetting some things but I’ll just post this now before something worse happens.
EDIT: The BSOD error is Critical Process Has Died, before that (the second day I think) I saw Kernel Data Inpage Error several times but after that only the critical process error appears.
EDIT 2: Two hours have passed since the last BSOD, new record!
EDIT 3: I ran DLG it passed the quick test but after 6 minutes of the extended test the mouse turned itself off, keyboard was still working and after a while I got a "Too many bad sectors detected" message, the keyboard stopped too and the BSOD followed.
EDIT 4: I tried ubuntu liveUSB and while watching a youtube video the mouse stopped working, the video sped up but ubuntu was still usable using the keyboard. So, I have bad sectors and mouse problems or what?
EDIT 5: I ran DLG again (extended test) and for an hour and a half there were no problems but then another freeze+BSOD occured.
