Multiple BSOD's in Win 10

[Scrote]

Hi! I had a terrifying series of BSOD's just now, ranging from "Memory_management" to "irql_not_less_than_or_equal" and some others, and of course the Win 10 "Check disk and repair automatically" didn't work, it kept rebooting while showing me BSOD after BSOD.

A system restore did the trick the first time, so I went back to reinstalling some apps and stuff that had gotten messed up through the restore, and when it came to installing my Corsair Link software (useful for managing the fan speeds on my cooler) the BSOD's started happening again.

I've got stuff working again, I'm reluctant to reinstall the Corsair Software in case it starts going nuts once more.

My question is - how can I find out what exactly caused these errors? The event viewer isn't the most user-friendly beast to deal with... any thoughts on this?

I'm running Win 10 64 bit.

Thanks!!

Download whocrashed from respondence software.

Get a few memory dumps to take place (the software will help with configuration) and then analyze them, and you'll then have a good idea what's going wrong (if it's software; if it's hardware, it's less clear the cause, but then at least you'd know it's hardware...)

If the computer ran fine, then the BSODs started after installing the Corsair software you mention, and stop after removing the software, surely that's as good an answer as you're going to get?

If you hadn't mentioned your experiences surrounding that software, I would have suggested a running memtest86 for a few passes.

Thanks for the replies, it did make sense that it was the Corsair software causing the problems, I just wanted to see for sure if it was that or not, by analyzing logs and such. Whocrashed spat out tons of information, not all of which I understood.

But mikey is right, I'm avoiding Corsair for now and I'll probably get speedfan to adjust my span feeds.

Thanks guys!
