Sudden system crashes happen once a month

Sure please, and I hope it will be all good after the process.

Thank you for looking into this, really appreciated. I am absolutely shocked that its a CPU issue.

I'll reseat the CPU I think, and also will run the dignostics.

Hi, thank you for that information, upon analyzing and checking the DMP files, the error you have is GenuineIntel.sys, this is a processor error it is either the processor is getting hardware errors or it is overheating, moreover kindly follow the steps below for us to fix the issue:

Method 1. Run Intel Diagnostic tool:

Go to this link: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/downloa...

Then download and run the tool.

Suppose there is any failure on the test. In that case, that means there is a hardware issue on your processor, which needs to contact Intel support or a local technician on the next step, which might be a processor replacement or board depending on the diagnosis on the hardware.

Watch out for ads on the site that may advertise products frequently classified as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Products). Thoroughly research any product advertised on the site before you decide to download and install it.

Method 1. Do clean boot:

A “clean boot” starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs, so that you can determine whether a background program is interfering with your game or program.

• In the search box on the taskbar, type msconfig and select System Configuration from the results.
• On the Services tab of System Configuration, select Hide all Microsoft services, and then select Disable all.
• On the Startup tab of System Configuration, select Open Task Manager.
• Under Startup in Task Manager, for each startup item, select the item and then select Disable.
• Close Task Manager.
• On the Startup tab of System Configuration, select OK. When you restart the computer, it's in a clean boot environment.

Method 2. Run memory diagnostic tool: The memory diagnostic tool is a RAM test to check if there are any issues with RAM that cause the processor to malfunction.

• Press Windows key + R then type in mdsched.exe hit OK then restart the device.

Note: If the issue persists, I suggest contacting a local technician to physically check the processor or do a re-pasting of thermal paste to optimize the processor.

Hi Bernard,

Thank you for helping me out. Yes the device works, it just has this crash once a month. Unfortunately I'm unable to reproduce the issue, it seems to be happening on its own...

I have uploaded the file to onedrive: 082124-6812-01.dmp
