I have a Dell Latitude E7470 laptop, purchased late 2016. Currently standard apart from an Intel 600p 1tb SSD.
I am experiencing frequent application crashes - Excel, Word, Visual Studio 2015, SQL Management Studio. The Video driver also crashes regularly. It occasionally crashes as I am trying to shut it down (BSOD - but with a red tinge!).
It is running Windows 10 with the creator update, but was crashing before the update.
Its a reasonably high spec machine. I've attempted to increase the memory, but put it back to the original spec as I was trying to eliminate that as a cause. (i.e., I have tried different memory in the laptop, but is still has application crashes)
I am pretty sure that it is not the motherboard as this was replaced due to a battery charging error.
The SSD SMART information says that it is 100% good
I have done a complete reinstall blanking the disk, so I do not think that it is the installation.
Has anyone got any ideas of what the cause might be?

Would recommend you look further into the problem through the Event Viewer into what the error message that it is providing and then bring that back into the question. To answer the question people will need more information. As well, please clarify if you have modified the paging values for your OS. When running out of memory, your laptop should just be writing to disk. If you've disabled this, that may be causing your BSOD crashes. – Will.Beninger – 2017-05-30T22:39:19.117
I've not changed any of the paging settings - it's a fairly standard windows installation. – LawrenceF – 2017-06-01T05:51:21.297
Well your BSOD is throwing out a Plug&Play error. Make sure your drivers are up to date and if possible use the CD that came with your Laptop/Motherboard.
Your errors in all of your application point to 0xc0000005 which is an Access Violation Error. Can be bad RAM, bad driver, etc. Bit of a hard one to nail down. Can try some of the options here.. See my answer for my recommendation.
