I am still working through stuff, but this is what I have so far:
-updated bios from 1.0.4 to version 1.0.15 (latest)
-Searched for windows updates and found one, but it failed to install (x3) error was (0X800f081f)
-Uninstalled TacticalMonsters.exe (dont need it)
-Tried to run Driver Verifier (set everything up as specified), but my system would not make it past boot without BSOD and so I had to do a system restore.
-Downloaded and ran memtest86 (results are attached) *it failed and aborted prematurely on the first run through due to "too many errors"*
I am working on setting up ubcd on a usb drive (but am still zeroing it from memtest because i only have a 64gb drive lol)
*I will continue working through the list of hardware diagnostics
--continued
-ran crystal mark (no failures, said all was good)
-ran furmark (15 minutes) stabilized at 66 deg C.
-Attempted to run windows safety scanner, (full scan) got about half way through and then BSOD (Kernel_Security_Check_Failure). There were not infected files seen prior to the crash. I can run again if nec.
-Ran prime95 for an hour, will run overnight tonight when I finish work. (i did not see any errors and no crashes occured)
-Ran video memmory test and it failed log is attached.
BSODs have been happening a lot today (I think that is the point of a lot of this) here are the 3 stop codes that i have seen:
-MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
-QUOTA_UNDERFLOW
-KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE
