Watching with interest as well since my PC BSOD this morning on me.

My PC just had BSOD this morning but manage to boot up fine after a few restarts. But it still reboots after a while. A continuous beeping sound happens when it tries to reboot. So I had stop the rebooting process and let it rest then restart it again.

Hope thread starter can get it fixed, I'm hoping to find clues to my problems as well.

Poor contact of the ram module. Remove them from the slots, clean the gold contact using an eraser then install them back to the slots. Power up the computer and post a reply here tell us the problem fixed, hopefully and most likely.

My advice will still be the same, perform a memory test.

I won't even bother to debug the dump before a memory test, a typical hardware issue rather then outdated driver.

Yes I agree too. If memory has errors, the drivers loaded into memory will have referential errors leading to BDODs as the wrong instructions will be referenced and executed.

If memory tested okay, it might then be a driver incompatibility issue or a specific hardware issue; probably either the mainboard or a specific hardware e.g. GPU if the corresponding driver error is about it.

Thank you, I will try it in the morning and post an update.

In case of memory test, how do we do it?

I only used the Windows Memory Diagnostic.

Using any non legit stuff including anti-virus software? Uninstall Mcafee VirusScan Enterprise and just use plain old windows defender... I would prefer a clean install of windows though. lol. Not sure what malicious stuff still lingers.

Open command prompt (admin) and run
sfc /scanow.
