After the last fresh install of Windows, the one before this one, I haven't taken my gpu out, is that a problem? I just switched the cables from it, to on board and back.

 

[Paul NZ]

Well you've used memtest, updated the BIOS. There's not much left to try / test !

Are both sticks installed now?? Avoid Chrome if you did use it. It's too buggy.

Only thing is try whatever game. If it crashes see if there are any updates for it

Did you turn it off before you switched cables? Not a good idea doing it if the system is still on

Ah thats why the drivers installed. Should be fine

 

[NastyNuggetz]

OK will do, I'm gonna try and play some and see what happens. Thank you for your time and effort here. You are the man.

 

[NastyNuggetz]

I'm running hwmonitor and I noticed that my cpu is running at 4021 MHz, I have not touched overclocking or messed with any bios settings regarding the cpu. it ran at 4000 even before all this started happening. it never moved off 4000 for min and max.


3 days of game play and streaming with no crashes. I havent updated my graphics drivers from nvidia and I have my system pretty well back to how it was before all this started. Thank you Paul NZ, you sir are a gentleman and a scholar and I appreciate you. Happy New Year!!!

got more bsod issues... I am at my wits end.

here is a dmp file with verifier running.

Is my video card bad? Is it my ram? Or is it still a driver issue? I have no idea.
I have done several reinstalls of windows and tried both of my drives. Please help me, I am going crazy.

 

[Paul NZ]

I would disable verifier. Looks like AndroidAFDx64.sys is crashing.

Uninstall AIcharger. This is a known cause of crashes. If AI suite is installed, uninstall it

 

[NastyNuggetz]

Ai Suite is uninstalled, I had other crashes before verifier was running and after i reset it. I ran memtest overnight lastnight for 6 passes and it returned 0 errors. I also ran asus diagnostics utility and everything passed.

Yes its part of Ai Suite, I competely removed it. No crashes yet. I will update if/when it happens.

 

[Paul NZ]

See if it crashes now. Is AndroidAFDx64.sys part of AI suite? It has something to do with ASUS

 

[NastyNuggetz]

yes its gone now

 

[NastyNuggetz]

Yea so it blue screened a bunch more times. I put my old rig back together, working fine, can play everything. I guess I will RMA my motherboard to hopefully get a new one. if that doesnt fix it, I will RMA the ram, and lastly the cpu if nothing else works. pretty frustrating as i paid over $600 for these parts in October... Hopefully getting replacements will fix this.

 

[NastyNuggetz]

Ok, so Im back.... I have been reluctant to take the time to start an RMA. I tried re installing Windows, the same way i had done before and only using on board graphics, this time i didnt even put my gpu in, and i got kmode bsod and system thread exception. Does this pretty much guarantee its a hardware issue or could it still be something i can fix qith a driver?

 

[Paul NZ]

Did you boot from the dvd or flash drive?? And delete the partitions / reinstall windows

Not try and reinstall in windows?

And what did you use to reinstall windows?? Where did it come from?

 

[NastyNuggetz]

I made a usb boot from my previous windows build before any of this started happening and thats what ive been using each time. I did a fresh clean install and deleted and re formatted the drive before installing.
I have my old rig
Amd 8370
16gb ddr3
Asus mobo
And ive been using it with all the other hardware the same as this rig without any issues. Could this be a psu issue? I think my new rig draws just a small amount more power. It doesnt crash in safe mode, but when i try to load normally i get about 2-5min before bsod.

 

[Paul NZ]

What do you mean from a previous windows build?? Was it from an ISO or DVD?

You didnt copy the files from the hdd after it was installed or something?

 

[NastyNuggetz]

No I used the utility in Windows to create a bootable installation media. From my last computer.

 

[NastyNuggetz]

For Windows 10

That's a dump from the last bsod, I ran verifier. I turned it off after.
There is a Windows update that has failed to install twice, and now its stuck at 95% on the download.

 

[Paul NZ]

So you downloaded the mediacreation tool? Then got the ISO then either burned it or used the tool to put it on a flash drive. Then booted from it

Then deleted partitions then reinstalled windows?

Looks like WdFilter.sys is crashing windows defender.

 

[NastyNuggetz]

yes that was how I made the bootable usb and then after booting from it, I deleted the drives and Installed Windows.

two more dumps.

 

[Paul NZ]

Odd that windows defender is crashing then. Is it up to date now ?? Did you check for updates

 

[NastyNuggetz]

All updates are installed, it crashes giving different errors all with ntoskrnl in the description. Im guessing its hardware. I dont know

 

[NastyNuggetz]

If it is one of the components would i not be able to find that with software? Memtest ran overnight twice with no errors, ive tested the cpu with intel diagnostic tool and asus pc diagnostic utility, nothing found wrong, i used seagates tool for the hard drive and chdsk on both drives, no errors. I ran benchmarks and all the hardware was at or above the 90th %. I just dont want to go buy new stuff if this still works, but if i go that route, should i buy a new mobo, or ram? Or both?
