UPDATE: As per Andy's suggestion, I'm running for a week at a time, almost 24/7 with a few boots in between due to normal operation of the PC, with very small changes to the memory card situation. The original memory cards were labeled as per the original slots: o With four 4GB memory cards labeled 1 to 4 in memory slots 1 to 4. The only consistent thing about these BSOD's since last December is that merely shuffling the cards in the memory slots "appears" to make the machine more reliable for the next boot after a BSOD. Following up on that only consistent hint, I've been running (randomly selected) memory card 3 in memory slot 2 as shown in this prior photo: o <https://i.postimg.cc/GpGdHnxs/bsod213.jpg> After a week of no BSODs, yesterday I added memory card 1 in slot 4. o <https://i.postimg.cc/pdLF3041/bsod219.jpg> In addition, I followed up on Andy's suggestion to secure the HDDs o Where I need to find a source of the missing special bolts! <https://i.postimg.cc/D06XqtS5/bsod214.jpg> In addition, I've noticed that the disk manager shows that crash logs are enabled, which is a nice doublecheck that you're all set for the next BSoD. o Have you noticed a "Crash Dump" description when you run disk management? <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.comp.microsoft.windows/FSfbmPq3wlM> <https://i.postimg.cc/QdMhLy3v/format10.jpg> -- Diagnosing BSODs turns out to take a million little tests over time.
