For about the past two months now, my computer has been constantly freezing or crashing - by freezing I mean literally sound stops, mouse stops working, keyboard, and I have to restart - by crashing I mean the 'blue screen of death.'
Every single stop message seems to have a different error, but most of them point towards faulty USB drivers and the like, so I believe it's hardware related.
I also get stop messages regarding ntfs.sys from time to time.
The thing is, people have suggested to me that I replace my RAM, which I have done, clean my fans/heatsink, which I have. I also formatted my hard drive - still had the problem.
I've been through the Device Manager and updated every driver I could, then for the purposes of troubleshooting, in safe mode, disabled and re-enabled pieces of hardware one at a time to see if they were causing the problem - no success, and ran RegCure and removed any registry errors. The computer even crashes in safe mode.
I've searched and searched the internet for possible solutions, but I've not come across a single one.
It does seem to crash more when under stress, however - when playing a game it's much more likely to freeze/crash on me, and also seems to crash more often when extracting or installing files.
As of late the rate of problems has been decreasing, but literally 10 minutes ago it crashed, three times in a row, and I'm just at wits end as to what the cause could be.
Also, when my computer first starting having these problems, I had neither added nor removed any components.
I'm not entirely sure of what use it may be, but I've included an attachment of my DxDiag information.
Any guidance on the matter would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks in advance. DxDiag.txt
