Is your system set to sleep? Try disabling that...

I would first look into that RAIDMAX PSU... they are generally gigantic hunks of trash.

WHAT IS THIS Video Card(s): AMD Radeon Saphire 8760 1GB

Post a screenshot of your Window logs and Application logs so we can see the errors.

I do see a page-fault-nonpaged-area , Take a look at this to help with that issue!

Confirmed

I would try 1 stick of RAM OP and a tester PSU (not both at the same time.) and see if that changes anything.
 
Sleep is off, turn off screen is set 10min.

Have you tested with 1 stick of ram yet? If that does it then test with the other stick if that does it then YOU HAVE TO TEST WITH A DIFFERENT PSU, If it still does it then I bet Graphic card VRM's and test with different GPU....GL
 
If it really dose this just on the first boot but then after a restart in works just fine , it sounds like something software related. As in Win loads something , it fails -> BSOD but next time it doesn't load "that something" again. Other than that , no idea , Kernel-power/boot events typically are very cryptic , could be everything.

they are.

Grab Memtest 86, clean your fans off really well too.

my other question did you update windows recently?
 
Yeah it's updated, got activated Windows 10, and it's not software related, cause, it's like 3rd time i formated it and still happening the same. (Even with Win8.1). Will do RAM test tomorrow and let you know. Funny thing is, if PC is running and i desable it for like 30min, it starts normal. But when PC is off for bigger amount of time, BSOD happens. (Like when its off during night for more than 10-12h, and it's not the same BSOD error every time -.-).
 
Just my opinion but I would look at your Windows drive. Specially if it's a mechanical drive but a SSD can do the same.

Edit.. swap your Windows drive with a different sata cable first.

Swap that PSU big time. By the way MS has been prone to releasing bad updates lately.

I had a 0xF4 error that would not disappear for the life of me on a clean W7 OS install on a old machine, So I went to mine, grabbed all the same updates my rig had, No issues, so it was a Update MS had on their WUD causing it.
 
I bought SSD like 2 months ago, installed Windows on it but still the same problem, didn't tried to run pc without HDD attached, will do that to and will let you know. (Can't do that now, because BSOD will not apper, it appears just when pc is off few hours...)

Just so you know , Windows dose this stupid thing for some reason where it creates a small dedicated partition on to the HDD instead of the SSD which you specified as the OS install drive. I know this because it happened to me and when the HDD failed basically my OS installation became unusable. I also had a friend who had a issue where after trying to switch the PC on from sleep it would bluescreen , turns out it was because if this stupid partition Windows makes. I'm not saying this is the cause of your problem , but who knows.

Unhook the hdd, remove the os off the ssd, reinstall the os on ssd.
 
got activated Windows 10

What do you mean you got "activated windows "10? Are you saying that you activated it or that it's a preactivated copy ?

Unfortunately I didn't knew at the time what caused it , next time I installed Win I noticed the partition and figured out what happened and unplugged the HDD. What a idiotic mechanism , I wonder why it works like this.

Only engineers can explain that one lol
 
UPDATE:
Didnt wanted to start new topic.
In the mean time:

1. My intergrated Network card (LAN) died for some reason, don't know why, but bought new network card..
2. Suddenly when played NBA2k17 some scary red screen happened with constant scary loop sound, restarted PC and now is fine, but its first time its happening atm.

That 2. fact I know it looks like GPU problem, but is it possible to PSU or motherboard are causing it.

I feel like my pc is dying part by part and i can't save him. :/
