    System service exception, bsod

    Hey,
    A few hours ago I turned on my pc, tried to start a gameon steam and during its loading my pc crashed showing for the first time ever a blue screen of death with the code:“SYSTEM SERVICE EXCEPTION”. I’ve attached the associated memory dump and the following is my speccy url http://speccy.piriform.com/results/X...YlOthZd8wBVNGK
    I think I should mention that in the past this laptop has sometimes been freezing, with everything blocked but the cursor, and I couldn’t do anything other than shutting the computer down via the power button, although it never showed a blue screen; once rebooted, it worked fine. The weird thing is that this problem would usually either happen within the first ~10 minutes or it wouldn’t happen at all. I don’t know if it’s related, but this bsod has happened within the first minutes of the computer being turned on as well.
    I don’t know what could have caused this and I have no idea how to read memory dumps, and I was wondering if you could help me. Thank you all kindly, best regards.

    A few things you can try:

    First being your power plan, it’s set at HP Optimized right now, you can try changing it to balanced and see if that makes a difference.

    Second of which, attempt whatever you do that causes the system to slow down while task manager is open, watch the utilization of your CPU and RAM in particular as these filling up could cause the system to come to a grinding halt.

    Open an admin level command prompt and type in the command sfc /scannow. This will check for corrupted system files, not a bad idea after a BSOD. (Keep in mind that running sfc will take a few minutes, there is a blurb that details the progress, do not close command prompt or stop it before it has finished)

        A basic general rule with a laptop, if you are going to game with a laptop, get yourself a cooling pad. At least elevate the computer on both edges with a book, so that the fan(s) have a clear path to cool air. If you have never cleaned the fan, then I’d suggest you do so…

          I have done everything you suggested but the tests, i will do them after i have backed up the computer.

          i have attached the logs you have asked for, but for some reasons the links you have sent me didn’t work, so i have downloaded them from here and here; the autoruns file was too large, so i zipped it, I hope it’s not a problem.
          What does the text you have put in the code format mean?

          By the way, today i opened chrome a few minutes after i turned the pc on, and everything froze so i shut it down via the power button (no bsod showed), so (assuming the two things are correlated) I don’t think it’s the game’s fault; as a matter of fact when the bsod appeared the game was still loading, usually after the first 10 minutes i can play without any problems.

          Thank you all once again, best regards.

            The first thing that we will do is download Junkware Removal Tool by Malwarebytes. Save it to your desktop run as admin, this is an outdated crapware removal tool, it will remove some junk but most important, this will create a restore point. I do not need to see the log from this, if you want to go back to before any of these steps you will have a restore point created…

                  I’ll have a look at this when I get home from work today. How is your machine running now?

                      After a quick look, you could stand to free up some space.

                      You can use Treesize to find files on your machine that you may wish to delete.

                      You can use the Everything Search Engine to find and remove files from your machine.

                        Everything looks ok from the logs, let me know how things are going. If the issue does not arise after gaming I’d say its most likely solved…

                          After following your advice and testing the pc (running some games) the problems I had did’t happen anymore, I really want to thank you for following and helping me patiently. I was worried about having to change pc or having to contact support, but thanks to you there was no need for that. Therefore this thread can be closed. Wish you the very best.
