4 BSOD's in less than 30 minutes

[failedtolisten]

I know some will ask me if my drivers are up to date. As far as I know, they all are. I know others may ask me if I've overclocked or made it recent hardware changes. I have not. This build is almost brand new as I built it right before November 2017. The ONLY hardware change(if this can even be considered)is my monitors. I have an old Dell that has just a display port and DVI. I don't know what I did with my DVI cable, so I took the DisplayPort cable from my 144hz Asus monitor and used it on the old 60hz Dell. I was using the HDMI on 144hz Asus, but at the time of this posting, I've unhooked the old Dell and once again using the DisplayPort cable on my Asus. I was having to play at 60hz on the Asus until the new DisplayPort cable arrives. I have no idea if this could have caused an issue or not. Maybe NVIDIA drivers didn't like that during driver installation I had one monitor at 144hz and then suddenly had settle for 60 with a completely different cable.

Specs:

Fractal Design Define R5 Black Window Silent ATX Midtower
ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Hero
Ryzen 1700x
MSI GTX 980 TI
Corsair Vengeance DDR4 16GB@3000mhz
EVGA SuperNOVA 850W 80+ PLATINUM
1x 1TB Crucial MX300 SSD
2x 850 Samsung EVO 500GB SDD

One BSOD stop code said Attempted to Write Read Only Memory, another said IRQL not less or equal, another simply said Memory Management, and the first one I received said Driver Overan Stack Buffer. ALL of this happened in less than 30 minutes. At one point, I opened up Chrome, tried to click on a tab, and I got one of those BSODs. Nothing seems to be happening now, but I'm gonna try and play some PUBG. The first time it happened I was playing PUBG, so I guess we'll see what happens.

Umm one thing. When you built this, did you install the standoffs if the case didnt come with them pre-installed?

If you didnt the mobo will short on the case

I honestly don't remember. I guess my question would be, why work for a little over two months and then out of nowhere receive these issues? I wouldn't be able to turn it on at all you would think? Or the MOBO would give me some series of beeps to let me know there is an issue...

It may not happen straight away but it may happen over time

Turn it off open the case. It'll be easy to tell whether theyre installed or not

Did you uninstall Chrome? The 2 dmp files above, are the same dmp file. And it still shows chrome as the cause

Ok...

Originally, when I was asked to do memtest, I thought someone meant like the run a memory test that Windows comes standard with. That's the one I ran. Today I installed memtest on USB, and I had well over 600 errors if I'm not mistaken. I'm assuming the issue is no doubt the RAM, now. Luckily, I thought ahead and before running memtest today, I contacted Amazon. They're going to take mercy on me and send me a new RAM kit.

Edit:

I'm now trying to test both RAM sticks. 1 at a time. I took the stick from the last slot out for now, and keeping the stick in the second slot in.

Ok, last update before bed tonight. The stick that I was running by itself has been good to me for a little over two hours now. A few minutes ago, I took the other stick and put in the same slot(as the one that's been good to me for a couple of hours)and ran it by itself. Crashed less than a minute after getting to the desktop and opening up a browser. 99.9% sure the RAM Amazon is sending will correct these issues.

The update for today is that with the one stick of RAM I've received absolutely no BSOD or other issues. Everything(for now)is back to normal. Hopefully when the new sticks come from Amazon I'll be back to 100%.

No memtest we meant memtest not the windows one. The windows one does NOTHING. And it's too short

Cool see if the new stick fixes it !

If you used the windows program it must have had a hard time reading something lol.

That usually takes 5 maybe 10 secs . Not 1-2 hrs
