Howsit Guys,

So I have had a problem for a while with my desktop PC.

It crashes randomly, not while doing anything specific or specific workloads. It can crash during boot, about 20-30min after boot, a few hours after boot or not even at all until next start up.
And it happened after a Windows 10 insider build update, but has continued even after future updates.

I am thinking its a corrupt Windows file,but just want to confirm my suspicions before having to do a clean install and having to re-install everything.

At first I thought it was RAM, did full MEMTest about 6 times, no errors, and have removed both sticks that were in and added different ones and crashes still occured.

I also did stress tests on CPU / RAM / GPU / SSD and nothing strange or out of the ordinary occurs and temps are well below limits.

Just want to find out if anyone else has experienced this before, or if anyone can think of something else that could cause this sort of behavior, before I start just cleaning and replacing the system and hardware.

I can also supply a full crash log if somebody thinks it can help them deduce the cause

Specs:
AMD Ryzen 7 1700 no oc
ASUS B350-M TUF Gaming
48GB DDR4 RAM ( 28GB 216GB Crucial Ballistix, no OC, tested different combination of the sticks,from 1 stick(Each stick), to 2x8GB or 2x16GB)
Zotac GTX1070 AMP
Thermaltake Smart Power 750W
SAMSUNG PM871 512GB SSD
WD Scorpio Black 2.5" 750GB HDD
Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD

Seems like an HDD issue. What does it say when you click on the error around 10:22 Volmgr ?

Currently having this exact same problem, tried every trick in the google, buying a new psu now as a last resort to see if it's that, I did see however that if I leave my NIC unplugged it seems not do it. Don't know if you use onboard nic or wireless though but just something you can try.

So had my psu tested and got a clean bill of health, then digged deeper into the hole that is Google, found this :

And did sfc /scannow in powershell which found and repaired corrupt/broken system files, and this on a freaking fresh windows install. But touch wood, it went the whole of yesterday without any crashing/restarting. Just thought you could go try this aswell.

Yeah, I had a massive Windows update yesterday, and after trying to install it about 4 times (crashed during install), when it finally finished the install haven't had a crash since, so definitely a corrupt windows 10 file when i migrated to a bigger SSD.

At least don't have to reinstall everything now.

So seems it's sorted. Thanks guys
