Hello all. Ive built PC's numerous times, a couple for myself, a couple for a family member. Recently, i just built a PC for a friend,
Specs:
Mobo: MSI x370 Gaming Pro
GPU: EVGA 1070 GTX SC
Memory: G.SKILL Flare X Series 16GB Model F4-2400C15D-16GFXR
CPU: AMD Ryzen 1700x
And everything seemed to go accordingly. Booted right up, installed windows, installed all of the drivers, downloaded some games, and i went home. A week or so later, he texted me saying that its been crashing, sent me some pictures of the errors. He was getting a "Kernel Security Check Failure" and "IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL". I did run the sfc /scannow and chkdsk /f which came up with no errors. I also ran a memory test on his RAM which came up with no errors. So i figured maybe a driver got corrupted downloading on his WIFI connection. (It was dropping the internet randomly, causing downloads to stop in the middle of downloading.) So i took his PC to my home, and reinstalled windows, and all of the drivers on my internet. Everything was going accordingly. I was just getting to installing the chipset drivers when it blue screened again, with the error code "IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL". After it restarted, i installed the chipset drivers and the remaining nvidia driver, and downloaded memtest86 onto a USB drive for him to try overnight and see if it comes up with anything. Any ideas on what could be the cause on a fresh install like that? Im kind of stumped here as ive never had BSOD errors right of that bat of building a new computer...
