1. I was getting BSODs even as the HP self diagnostics were coming clean.
(I tried all the repair options for days, but nothing worked.)
2. So I formatted the HDD & installed Windows 10 Pro perfectly clean.
Everything works fine for about an hour or so... and then BSOD!
3. They're not even the same BSOD, so I "think" it's the PC hardware.
But what?
4. Which hardware could it be (the HP diagnostics all report clean).
CPU, memory, motherboard ... HP diagnostics report all are clean.
Windows runs for an hour or so and then turns blue with a variety of BSODs,
where this is just the _latest_ sequence of BSODs after about an hour.
a. Memory management
b. System service exception
c. Kernel security check failure
d. Unexpected kernel mode trap
Here's a sequence, in order, of BSODs and reboots from today to help out:

Arlen,
It does look like a memory problem - but it could be several other things
also:
1. Test memory. Removing two sticks and or swapping them is a good first
step. Should always start by removing and reinserting the memory sticks to
insure nothing is loose and/or that there is any corrosion on the contacts.
Running Windows memory test - well if it's a solid failure, it may find it.
You really need to run MemTest86
https://www.memtest86.com/ and run *all*
the tests. All memory manufacturers will tell you to run that if they don't
have their own diagnostic. Also, most memory have lifetime warranties.
I recently replaced 4 sticks (matched pairs) of Crucial memory on one of my
test systems which MemTest found were picking bits on two sticks - one in
each matched pair. Corsair overnighted replacements right after I sent them
the log from MemTest86. Windows memory test never once found a single
error even after running all night.
2. CPU. Be sure the CPU is seated and that it is not overheating. CPU fan
good?
3. Power supply. Check your BIOS settings to see if it shows the power
supply voltage readings and make sure they are within specs. Not unusual to
see the lower voltages flicker a bit but as a rule of thumb, all voltages
should be within 10% tolerance. May want to check that all power
connections are seated properly.
With the BSOD's all over the place, it's a good bet you have a bad memory
stick or maybe more. Test all 4 at same time, then remove two (1 channel)
and if it still fails test the other sticks to make sure you don't have an
intermittent bit. MemTest86 will test for that so read the info on the site
and run all the tests. If it fails, running specific tests will begin to
show a pattern - down to which bit(s) are failing.
