Bluescreening Constantly While Playing Games!: Asrock H110M-HDS

[krehnkecody]

I've been bluescreening everyday while playing any CPU intensive game, the bluescreens change constantly no matter what I do. I have checked many bluescreen errors, and it usually leads me to the one problem! My Asrock H110M-HDS CMOS. I will label my System Specs out so you can get a better picture of what type of system I have: Corsair Vengeance 8gb Ram DDR4, Asrock H110M-HDS, i5-6400 CPU, Gigabyte Windforce GTX 1060 6gb, SSD: AirEyes 240gig.
OS: I've tried every operating system, Windows 7, 10, Ubuntu. And Ubuntu just crashes when I play any game, or just freezes.

BTW: It's playing games that cause these bluescreens, browsing Chrome, Discord, etc doesn't make me bluescreen mostly, if not at all.

What's the most common bluescreens errors I get?:

irql_not_less_or_equal (Usually LOTS of file names, either it's just irql_not_less_or_equal without a specific file, or it's a lot of different ones!)

system_thread_exception_not_handled (Same goes for this)

system_service_exception (same goes for this)

memory_management (I've only got this once)

page_fault_in_nonpaged_area (It's mainly no file causing it, just by itself normally)

What kind of games do I bluescreen on?: Minecraft, Rocket League, Mostly any game on steam, Don't Starve, Golf With Friends, you name it! What times do I usually bluescreen?: 3-5 minutes into the game

What have I TRIED to fix this constant bluescreening:

Updating Drivers: Yes I have tried updating ALL of my drivers CONSTANTLY!!! The same bluescreen comes up everytime.
I have installed Asrock's drivers from their website, and still no luck!

I have updated my GTX 1060 to the newest firmware, no luck.

I have updated just everything I could by right clicking everything in Device Manager.

I have disabled Memory Caching on my SSD via Device Manger, no luck.

I took out my GTX 1060 6gb, I couldn't boot into Windows 10 (It was just a purple screen after the Grub menu) Ubuntu worked with my i5, but really, gaming was super laggy without my Graphics card, so I didn't preform a super hard test with it. I didn't crash on Ubuntu!

If you need log files, please ask! Thank you!

Currently I am using Windows 7, in the past I was not bluescreening all that often with it. But recently after installing Windows 7 Professional SP1, I am booting into a Black Screen with a mouse cursor, it takes around 2-3 minutes until it says welcome. Very strange, and yes, on Windows 7 I am bluescreening left and right while playing games still.

Its either your RAM or GPU; I would start by checking temps of all components with speedfan or similar.
If temps are high, clean components and replace thermal paste.

If bsod persist I would start with the classic memory ram troubleshooting:
Memtest86+ 8 passes.
If no errors are shown, procede with Gpu testing:
Heaven Benchmark etc.

TLDR:
Temps. Cleaning, memtest86+ and then gpu stressing


Based on my experience, its always hardware related. bad ram etc

So, you want me to add thermal compound onto my GTX 1060? Okay, so... I get that... I don't know if it is the cooling. I can tell you my temperatures, GTX 1060 45 at idle, usually 71 at load. With the ram. I am about to do that memtest, is that software I have to install, and how do I run that 8 times in a row? Also, i've heard that if your Windows 7 has a black screen with a cursor, you need to clear your CMOS and NVRAM.... Now.. I'll give you a update once I figure out how to do a memtest that many times.

 

[krehnkecody]

My mistake, it's usually 37 at idle, it's 45 at idle after it is done playing a game! Btw I did do a cooling test where I took the case off the computer and fanned it with a mini fan on full blast with my room fan on. And all was going well, until I plugged in some of my equipment, headset, controller, then I bluescreen... Also, having any program open like Discord, Spotify, DEFINITELY Chrome, causes me to bluescreen or just have my game crash immediately. I will keep updating. If I get a problem with my ram. I will definitely TRY to replace it. I'm kinda poor!

Thermal compound is for cpu, not gpu. And whlith those temps i dont think its a meltdown issue

Try memtest

 

[krehnkecody]

UPDATE: I did 10-11 test in a row with memtest, If I'm not mistaking, you wanted me to do 8... The test came back positive, there was no stutter that I could see with my ram. From doing 11 Memtest's in a row, plus I did a windows memory diagnostic, everything seems to be fine with my ram. Now, if you want me to do more ram tests, all you have to do is ask! My ram does not look to be the issue at the moment. You said do a test with my graphics card with a benchmark. I will do that right now and give you the update! Thank you by the way. I really needed to figure out the problem! This is seriously bugging me and is just getting worse over the time. I reinstalled Windows 10 on here cause Windows 7 booted up VERY slowly! If I need to... I can definitely clear my motherboard's CMOS, I've heard it doesn't break it.

*PS:* I forgot to mention! I have updated my Asrock Motherboard to the latest firmware! No improvements when I did that...

 

[krehnkecody]

Oh I forgot to mention. I did 11 Ram Benchmarks. I didn't get what you meant by 8 passes. If you could clarify with some pictures or something? That would be nice... 11 benchmarks with ram in a row came back fine. But the layout of Memtest was kinda confusing to me...

There are two memtesting software in the web
The one you should use is memtes86+
Notice the 86+, its bootable without Windows. If you use the other one, it wont be a precise analysis

 

[krehnkecody]

UPDATE: Okay, I'm going to do the memory test, I've been narrowing down what my problem is, I used the defragement tool to try to narrow down what the issue truly is! Unfortunately as expected, defragement didn't help. But... I am analyzing my issue and got more bluescreen messages with file names I haven't got before. I also am going to share a cmd command that showed drivers or something that MIGHT have caused the bluescreens in the past.

The new Bluescreen messages: Page_Fault_NonPaged_Area the file name was: fileinfo.sys
RIGHT after I booted my my computer, I started Discord, then Chrome and I bluescreened RIGHT away with System_Service_Expection. I almost always bluescreen right after starting up my computer after I bluescreened from something like a game or so.

I will do the memtest the way you told me. I just wanted to update you, thank you so much for your help. I really want this solved, I've had this for 2 years now and haven't even gotten close to solving the issue!


EDIT: I have tried unplugging ALL Razer devices, still bluescreened! Just wanted to mention this. That might become handy in the future if you ask me to unplug those Razer Devices. I'm a little focused on the Nvidia Drivers that set off Driver problems. Maybe I should uninstall my graphics card and then reinstall them via Nvidia's website?

Also, my CPU temp is 31 when using Chrome, Discord, NotePad, Bluescreen Viewer, and Realtemp. So.... Might be able to rule my CPU out as not the problem considering temps look decent even with a bunch of programs!

 

[ChrisCamm]

2 years dealing with bsod's? That's completely unbearable.

You could try to remove the gpu and try using just the integrated graphic chip with the intel,
If it doesnt crash, maybe its related to GPU

 

[krehnkecody]

Oh yes, I forgot to mention to you, I have tried that before, a couple days ago. I took out the Graphics Card and played on the Intel Graphics. I couldn't boot into Windows at all. It would just give me a blank screen. I'm not sure why. I maybe should've switched my HDMI cable to DVI-white male cable as my monitor supports DVI, HDMI, VGA, but my Intel Graphics supports DVI and HDMI. So I could test taking out my Graphics card and only using DVI, because I couldn't boot into Windows, blank screen!

I bluescreened ever since I got this computer, it started out only bluescreening when playing VERY intensive games, and then it got worse into if I recorded ANY game I would bluescreen, and now it's just if I play ANY game and I bluescreen, Minecraft is a CPU intensive game so I don't know why I would bluescreen on it!

 

[krehnkecody]

Hey, so I tried to plug my DVI port and my HDMI port into my intel graphics chip, nothing works, I just get blank! My monitor doesn't detect it. So, I feel like my HDMI and DVI ports on my Processor aren't working one bit!

 

[ChrisCamm]

[strike][/strike]When you are not using the gpu, you have to use the ports thst are integrated to your motherboard.
The pc you purchased came with the gpu? Or you bought it afterwards?

Also, perhaps you are not getting signal because there are two types of dvi. Analog and digital. Try using the integrated hdmi port

 

[krehnkecody]

This is a custom-built PC I picked out 'Myself', my friend made the PCPartpicker link: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/D8mDzM

Not every part in there is the same, considering all I bought a SSD, different GTX 1060, but the same Motherboard, etc.

And yes, I tried plugging it into ALL of the motherboards integrated (Which there is 2).

No response from any of the ports, Windows, my Monitor, my motherboard, doesn't get even a signal from these ports. Those ports work outside of Windows aka Ubuntu and maybe other Linux's.

EDIT: The Internet Adapter!!! I don't use that anymore, I got Ethernet Cat 5e, so I don't have to use that, I took that part out!

 

[krehnkecody]

All ports on my motherboard aren't working, I am getting very desperate, I'm asking my brothers friend to send me a spare 8gb ddr4 ram stick that he isn't using. If he says yes, I can truly test the ram, if it doesn't work, I can narrow down to my GPU and Power Supply! Thank you for your continued support

ALL MONITOR PORTS AREN'T WORKING* Not USB ports! HDMI isn't working, so isn't DVI

 

[codykrehnke]

This has been solved by my friend. For anyone else struggling with these Bluescreens!

Here's what you have to do

TEST THE RAM!:
Memtest86+ bootable, not Windows version! If you have 50 errors like I did, you know your ram is messed up! But!!!!! Wait a moment, don't go out buying new ram. Test your second motherboard port for your ram. I switched my port to my second one! No errors! It was my motherboard's fault! The port that I was using sucks!

THIS HAS BEEN SOLVED FOLKS! My ram is SOMEWHAT at fault, but, it was my motherboard CAUSING my Ram is screw up!

The ram is not at fault, this cheap, stupid, dumb motherboard had a faulty ram port!
