Thanks for brining it to my attention. I'm now able to get the stop parameters 0xa 0xF78A, 0x, 0x, 0x There isn't a driver address messages. But the stop parameters are the same on every crash whether it was at bootup, or post-boot — rwired.

The bootlog shows that the crash occurs after any number of different drivers has loaded. I can't find a common thread.

I've disabled that service, but it still occurs. SYS which was a question asked by safe-mode startup. This is a tough one. It's possible you do have a memory-related motherboard problem. If this is a machine with a warranty, it might be best to ask the vendor to replace both the motherboard and the memory as a precaution. Since it was a spurious crash not always occurring I continued to suspect hardware.

But in fact it turns out it was the network drivers all along see my solution post — rwired. Anthony Lewis Anthony Lewis 7 7 silver badges 8 8 bronze badges. I left the machine off overnight, in room with air-con. Today it refused to reboot with the same error.

I removed the heatsink from the CPU, cleaned it all again. Remounted it and checked there was a proper thin layer of thermal paste between the pads. It refused to boot again until the third try. It then crashed with exact same stop parameters after a few mins. After 4 more attempts it booted and is running now. This seems to rule out an overheating CPU. Possibly the opposite DanBig DanBig Today again I had difficulty booting.
