Windows 10 Bluescreen - BSOD

[deemac65]

Hi, I've been recently getting a lot of BSOD (bluescreens).

It is inconsistent in nature but appears when the system is under very high CPU load (95 - 100%)

It only happens when I'm exporting high res images from Adobe Lightroom, rendering images or animations from Autodesk 3D studiomax and outputting HD video files from Adobe Premiere.

All the rest of the time the machine is very sweet, very quite, boots cleanly and is well behaved.

The system spec is as follows: Windows 10 Pro 64 bit (version 1607 - OS build: 14393.1066), Intel i7-6850K (3.6GHz), ASUS X99-E motherboard, 32Gb Hyper X Predator DDR4 3200MHz, 8Gb Nvidia Geforce GTX1070, 480Gb SSD (C-drive), 1Tb Samsung 850 EVO SSD (D-drive), 4Tb WD black stat drive (E-drive), Corsair 750W CS series 80 plus power supply, CPU cooling Noctua NH-D15S etc.

The video card drivers are up to date.

Anyone any thoughts?

My previous PS specialist box did not have these issues. Could a memory stick be flawed?

Are there any recommended apps to test the system with?

Any advise most welcome. Cheers in advance.

What's the actual BSoD code?

Flaky RAM was my first thought too, and with high res video files you'd likely be using RAM that might otherwise rarely get used. The actual BSOD code would be very useful as would an upload of the memory dump that Windows should have written.

In the meantime I would download Memtest (http://memtest.org). Extract the ISO file from the downloaded archive and burn that to a CD/DVD/USB stick and boot that media. Memtest will start running immediately (it doesn't use Windows at all). Leave it running at least overnight, you want as many iterations of the various tests as you can get.
