Question BSOD every week

[HarisPol]

Hello there.

The last 2-3 months i am facing constant bsods and i can't figure out why. The last bsods that i had where:

- KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE (139)
- SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (3b)
- IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)
- APC_INDEX_MISMATCH (1)
- KERNEL_THREAD_PRIORITY_FLOOR_VIOLATION (157)

Can someone help me diagnose this?

CPU: R5 3600
CPU cooler: Be Quiet Pure Rock Slim 2
Motherboard: Aorus b450 m ---------------------------------------- (BIOS VERSION F64)
Ram: 4x Gskill Ripjaws V 8gb = 32gb
SSD/HDD: 1st: Samsung NVME 980 500GB |2nd: Apacher SSD AS340 480GB | 3rd: HDD WDC Purple 1TB
GPU: RX 6650 XT
PSU: Corsair TX750 M ---------------------------------- (I first installed it on September of 2019)
Chassis: Cougar MX330-G
OS: WIN11
Monitor: 1st: AOC 24G2U/BK | 2nd AOC 24 inh------- (i can't find the sticker with the model)
WIFI: AORUS GCWBAX200 ANTENNA

This is a fully custom-built PC, assembled by me.
Most components were purchased in 2019, except for the NVMe SSD, GPU, and Wi-Fi card which were added later.
The original GPU was faulty and was returned.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time. If this is a prebuilt desktop from HP, Dell or Asus, please include the make, model and SKU. If it's a laptop, pas son the make, model and SKU as well.

Just curious, are you using Bitwarden instead of Windows Defender? Speaking of OS, where did you source the installer for said OS?

Hello there!!!

Ok i just added the things you asked me. Also yes i am using Bitdefender Plus and Bitwarden for my passwords. About the OS i nstalled it from the official Microsoft Site.

Except from the gaming stuff i also use it for bussiness and an AV is a must. Also Bitdefender is one of our company partners so the choise was clear.

overall, I expect updating the bios and motherboard drivers should fix the problem. update and retest for failure.
----------
oldest bugcheck
Bitwarden.exe running
KERNEL_THREAD_PRIORITY_FLOOR_VIOLATION (157)
An illegal operation was attempted on the priority floor of a particular
thread.

not sure on this one. might be a bug or exploit. (maybe if old version)

Bitwarden PDF File Handler Vulnerability Let Attackers Upload Malicious PDF Files

A critical XSS vulnerability has been discovered in the popular password manager Bitwarden, affecting versions up to 2.25.1.

do the various updates listed at the bottom and see if you still bugcheck. if you do then you will have to turn on verifier functions. Note: this bugcheck was the only one that looked like the program was the actual cause of the bugcheck. The rest looked like they were victims of a bad driver.

--------
4th bugcheck, chrome running and a service termination that got a access violation. (ignore for now)
==========
third bugcheck was in a delayed windows cleanup routing.
looks like a service/driver bug.
====
second bugcheck was a buffer overflow running a google file system driver. (GoogleDriveFS)

(might just be a victim of a corruption rather than the cause)
-----------
update the bios to the current version
https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B450-AORUS-M-rev-1x/support

then update the various drivers from the same website.
(be sure to get the motherboard sound driver, the one you have has a bug in it that corrupts sound device stack)

after you update the bios, then update your ryzenmaster software to the current version.

looked at most current bugcheck, it was a stack overrun on a idle cpu core. will take a look at the others but do the various updates as a start.

(note ryzen master software does not match bios version )

Hello Johnbl, and thank you for your fast reply.

I’ve just updated my BIOS and audio drivers from the official Gigabyte website. I also updated my GPU driver, as I recently experienced a crash in a game due to a mismatch between the AMD driver I had manually downloaded (from the AMD website) and a Windows driver that was automatically installed.

Next, I plan to update the AMD chipset drivers as well, and I’ll monitor the system to see if any issues persist.
