Question ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming-ITX/TB3 - can't get my system to a stable state.

[Kim Jong Greg]

Hi guys,

I upgraded from a B450 ASUS board to the ASRock X570 and I cannot get my system (Win 10 Pro) to a stable state.

I also upgraded the RAM (32GB from 16GB), and the GPU. The CPU is still an R5 3600X. Initially I had trouble with the thunderbolt controller and was getting the odd blue screen, but I figured fine, plugging my old NVMe and trying to fix it will take me forever, my files were backed up and accessible so I nuked the drive and I am trying with a fresh install.

This is the third time, every time I start any of the regular steps ie. windows update, driver update a deluge of various BSODs appears:

• Kernel security check failure (Google tells me it's got something to do with Bluetooth/WiFi drivers)
• Unexpected Kernel mode trap

These are the ones I managed to read, there are some that flash for too short a period for me to discern, they may or may not be different.

I had flashed my bios to ver 2.6 which was the latest available as of yesterday, I can't flash it to 2.7, I don't have another working computer or laptop with me (I'm mid way through moving houses) either. I'm running default UEFI settings, no overclock, no XMP on the RAM.

The install I'm running now is an offline one, will try slowly introducing os updates and driver updates, but overall it feels like madness - maybe a fresh approach is required, but I can't think of anything myself.

UPDATE: Some BSODs for which reports are available. The PC rebooted several times besides that giving no warning and only briefly flashing a BSOD.
