Been going on for months. Went 7 to 10 in July with little trouble. Totally legit upgrade. 1607 update in November turned machine into a brick. After much hassle, finally got it to go, halfway decently end of December. Every day I get complete hangs. No input, no reboot. Sometimes reboot is good, sometimes 3 to 5 are needed, and all may be well for hours, or rest of day. Totally unpredictable. Some days fine. Did reinstall from 1607 disk, did scannow's. No help.
Parts are:
i5 2500k at stock
212+ cooler fan...temps are great
Sandisk sdssdag240g 40% used
2x2g adata ram...passed 8 hours memtest86
Gigabyte p67a-ud3p-b3 mobo
Radeon HD 6570 graphics
Dell 22" monitor
Case cooling A+, no fans restricted.
System not stressed. I'm not a gamer. Lots of browsing. Panda free antivirus. Malwarebytes and Superantispyware running real time.
Recently tried "Who Crashed" software, which consistently comes up with two items on these hangs. They are:
ntkrpamp.exe (nt!KeBugCheckEx+0x0)
ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x1274A8)
Nothing else on Who crashed.
I'd be grateful for any clues, and would, if I could, fax a 6 pak to my benefactor. Len
