Hi @Colif , long time no post. Appreciate all your help. I am still triaging this issue. I can’t seem to run my RAM kit at the advertised 3200mhz speeds without running into a BSOD within 1 hour of playtime, no matter the game. As a workaround, I’ve downclocked to 2666mhz which is the fastest...

Thanks, Colif. Here are 4 .dmp files that have been generated from BSODs recently (after I updated the BIOS per per my last post) : https://easyupload.io/p1arti . Really appreciate your help, if you want to check those to verify that I'm still having GPU driver-related issues.

Hey Colif, thanks again for your help here - my super busy September is behind me and I'm back at it. Upgrading BIOS to latest version was a huge help with overall system stability, thank you. After the BIOS upgrade, I tested each stick of RAM individually with memtest86 and then together as a...

Thanks again for your post and for verifying the Nvidia driver is the cause of one or more of the BSODs. Before creating this thread, I had already uninstalled the GPU driver that I had in place with DDU in Safe Mode, as you suggested. I then installed the April 2022 Nvidia driver which I...

Ahh. Well that's a little misleading, I suppose I didn't read into this carefully enough. Thanks for the FYI. FWIW, I ran memtest86 again overnight last night and woke up to it frozen on test 10 (Pass 1 of 4) again with 10 minutes 36 seconds on the clock. I have a super busy September but...

Hi, thanks, Colif. Minidump files per your instructions: https://easyupload.io/x6ee9z That isn't exactly how I reinstalled Win10, either - I didn't create any installation media and I wasn't asked for a product key at any point. I reinstalled from Windows itself, like this article: Provided...

Hello, long time lurker here who is motivated to post tonight because of a frustrating pattern of BSODs that I've been experiencing. I will try to keep this post short and informative - thanks in advance for your help and please advise if additional info would help diagnose. System built in...

Hi, I'm in the process of installing component drivers on a clean install of windows, starting with my motherboard chipset driver first. Here is my component list (link), I am using a MSI b450m Mortar mATX board and a GTX 1070 Ti, obviously not a radeon card. From MSI's website (link) , the...

Hi, first time builder and I'm afraid I'll fry something. My GPU is a MSI 'Duke' GTX 1070 Ti (linked) and my PSU is a EVGA 650 G3 (linked). I'm assembling my components now but I'm stuck on what cable(s) I should be using between my PSU and GPU. I know this question appears to have been asked...

Hi all, I've been doing some research ahead of a new build (hoping to purchase parts during cyber monday sales) into the different SSD options that exist today. I'm coming from an aging 7200rpm HDD that takes quite a while to boot and load games, and want to have my socks knocked off. I've...

Answer Responses @Jankerson - Thanks for your list! Shaking off the rust... last time I built a computer it had a GeForce 7800GT inside if I remember correct, haha. When configuring that list I intended to OC the i3 8350k, hence the aftermarket cooler - but you're recommending the i5 8400...

EDITED OP 10/5 for length and clarity Hi all, Thanks for reading. I'm buying a new 1440p, 144hz monitor soon and looking to build a system to match for about $1000 (with the hopes that holiday sales will drive it down to something like $900). Monitor NOT included in that price. Idea is to set...
