I have been having an issue for about six months now with occasional blue screens. It took me a while and a reformat to figure out the culprit. I have various media player however I like jriver because it plays everything and I can even stream most of it. After much troubleshooting I have come to the conclusion that there is something involved with media center that is causing these blue screens. When i keep it off i dont have them. When I leave it on they reappear. It is not immediate nor do I have be playing anything on it. The mere fact that it is running seems to cause this to happen. It seems more frequent now than in the past. I have tried other things like plex and kodi but they dont play everything they also do not cause blue screens when running. I hope someone can help with this I have updated the video drivers. That seemed to do nothing.

Have you enabled the WDM driver? That's the only JRiver component that I've ever seen cause blue screens, and that only on certain unlucky systems. Do you have any sense of how to reproduce it?

Always get video drivers from the specific Make and not from windows update. windows update especially on w10 can be troublesome as you can't control those updates unless your very very pc savvy...I have noticed windows update is pushing nvidia drivers that can cause your problems, tho I would expect it to be pc wide and not just a app specific so this is probably not your issue but never hurts to check.....good luck

I do not have the WDM drive enabled and i got the drivers from the manufacturer on from MS. Any other ideas? I have combed through the forums and found nothing yet that seemed to relate to my issue. I can reproduce the issue. All I have to do is turn on mediacenter and wait...iI just dont know how long. It could be an hour it could be 4 or 5 hours.

Try uploading a minidump to a file sharing service and posting a link to the zipped minidump here, if there's one available.

Since the WDM driver isn't enabled, I doubt the BSODs are caused by Media Center. My guess it's related to the graphics drivers (IMO, I'd never install the ones from Windows Update).
