BSOD on PC <1 year old persisting after fresh install of Windows 11

Title: Persistent BSODs on clean install (Wdf01000.sys, Ntfs.sys, 0x1000007E) - Need Help

Hi everyone,

I am dealing with recurring BSODs on my iBUYPOWER desktop and could really use some expert eyes on my dump files to help me figure out what is failing.

The Issue & Triggers:I had been getting random BSODs related to driver errors since I got the PC in December 2025. I had been getting intermittent BSODs and used whocrashed to work with Ibuypower on resolving the issues. They believed the issues were graphics card related and I also had a noisy cooler. iBUYPOWER sent me a replacement graphics card and a replacement AIO liquid cooler under warranty back in March 2026, which I installed myself. Problems persisted but less frequently. Three weeks ago I had two BSODs impact work (one was a crash on a meeting I was leading, the other a random act of BSOD.) Two weeks ago I completely wiped the drive (deleted all partitions) and performed a clean installation of Windows 11.

Unfortunately, the BSODs have already returned on the fresh OS. My two crashes since the fresh install both show Bugcheck 0x1000007E (SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M):

Crash 1 (10/7/2026): Parameter 1: 0xFFFFFFFFC0000005. No specific driver blamed, but analysis flagged potential memory corruption.
Crash 2 (10/13/2026): Parameter 1: 0xFFFFFFFFC0000005. This crash explicitly failed in Ntfs.sys (NT File System Driver). The analysis tools suggest this could point to a malfunctioning drive, corrupted disk, or faulty RAM causing memory corruption.

Overclocking Status: No changes made on my end. I am a bit of a novice so I am not sure where to find this.

System Age & Warranty History:This is an iBUYPOWER pre-built system. Back in March, I was experiencing issues and iBUYPOWER sent me a replacement graphics card and a replacement AIO liquid cooler under warranty, which I installed myself.

System Specs See the google drive link or my profile Computer Dumps - Google Drive

Since this issue survived a total drive wipe and clean install, and is now throwing Ntfs.sys errors on a fresh format, it seems like it could be a physical hardware fault (maybe the storage drive or RAM). However, I am not confident in anything at this point. I really need help, all options are on the table, and I am completely open to any troubleshooting steps you recommend. I have the V2 Log Collector files and my system info on the google drive link

Thank you in advance!

On it now -- thank you. I will add to the google drive link in the main post (and will update here once complete). I really appreciate your help. I like to tinker but this level of troubleshooting is beyond me.

Hi @zbook I'm back with some results. I have added all the necessary screenshots to the google drive folder. Two items you asked for errored (see below)

1) I could not run "fltsmn" from an admin powershell. Error is attached but said

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> fltsmn
fltsmn : The term 'fltsmn' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.

2) Very similar error trying to run v2 Log Collector

& : The term '.\resources\main.ps1' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable

Hi!

I did the bios this morning (the meeting sucked!)

I also uploaded the other files and screenshots.

I am so thankful for your help. I'll be running the meeting gauntlet today so if anything else triggers I'll grab it and post here.

You saved my butt here!

1) Please run Memtest86+ for 8 or more passes > take pictures > post images or share links

Memtest86+ | The Open-Source Memory Testing Tool

Just 1 error is a test fail and testing can be aborted.

The more the passes the better the testing conditions.

It sometimes takes passes into the 20's to detect malfunctioning RAM.

The RAM can be tested all at one time or one at a time in the same DIMM.

2) Run Sea Tools Long generic test (all drives) > post images or share links

SeaTools | Seagate US

SeaTools - Quick diagnostic tool that checks the health of your drive.

3) Memtest86+ will take substantial time to run so plan to run when there is a lot of continuous time (overnight and next day)

Clingsmash · 2026-10-16T21:01:40-0400

I kicked off memtest after work today. It's been running for four hours and has completed 5 passes without error. I will provide an update tomorrow. Is there harm in letting it run overnight or is that overkill? (currently 9p local)

zbook · 2026-10-16T21:52:30-0400

Please run overnight and the next day.

The more the passes the better the testing conditions.

Take pictures > post images or share links

Clingsmash · 2026-10-17T09:41:00-0400

Last night I was still in pass status. As of now I'm showing a big Fail (see attached). I still have it running. Where do I go from here?

Thanks again for your help.

Nice progress.

This was a good example for the insufficiency of 5 passes.

1) Please contact warranty support for RAM replacement

Make sure that they are matching pairs.

2) Until the RAM is replaced:

a) the computer can be left as is with unexpected BSOD or

b) both RAM modules can be removed > test one at a time in the same DIMM > use only a single RAM module

3) Complete the Sea Tools Long generic test (run as bootable overnight while sleeping) > take pictures > post images or share links

4) Run HD Sentinel (all drives) > view results on these tabs > post images or share links

Thanks for the help. I'm out for the day and I left the memtest running. I'll take a pic before ending it and will follow these instructions after that. I will provide updates tomorrow. I appreciate you.
