Hey folks! I've had a problem that's been haunting me for months now and it's been driving me crazy. I think it could be a faulty HD but I just don't know, it doesn't seem to make sense.
For a while now my computer has been randomly BSODing. When it's idle, when I'm playing a game, when I'm writing a word document, it can happen. Often times it will not immediately BSOD but my applications will begin to slowly lock up and I either wait for it to crash after a few minutes or reset it myself. During this if I try to ctrl alt delete, it comes up with the message "Failure - Security Options". The BSOD has also shown the errors KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR, KERNEL_STACK_INPAGE_ERROR, and has also mentioned something about ataport.sys.
Upon first restart of the system after blue screen my monitor displays a blank screen with a blinking cursor. Second restart it comes up with a detection that it failed to boot and offers to set bios to default. Third restart I am able to boot into windows fine until the next time it decides to crash. The BSOD will also never write a crash log and I know I have it set to do that.
Sometimes I can go two weeks without a crash, sometimes I get three in one day. It's completely random. I have no viruses, sfc comes up with nothing, chkdsk comes up with nothing, and memtest comes up with nothing. I have heard that the errors that show with the bsod mean either memory or hd failure but I would like some confirmation before I go out and buy new hardware. Anyways, Thanks for reading my wall of text, hope I can finally put this problem to rest!
Also, almost forgot, ONE time it did crash immediately on windows startup directly after the first bsod, and that time I got a message I had never seen before, "Exception processing message" and some parameters before the crash. Don't know if thats related but probably. Thanks again.
