BSOD hell! Already replaced parts...

[bigbill810]

Constant Page_Fault_in_non_paged_area BSOD errors to the point I can't even get into Windows recovery. When I first build the machine, it worked fine for about 2 weeks or so, then got my first BSOD. From there, they got more frequent, to the point that it became unbootable/unusable.

Here's the specs:
CPU: Ryzen 5 1600
Mobo: MSI B350M Bazooka
RAM: GEiL 2x8GB Evo Potenza DDR4-2400 (PC4-19200)
500GB Sandisk SSO
1TB WD platter
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB
PSU: Corsair GS700 (about 5 years old, carried over from my last build)

Here's what I've done:
Tried removing parts and breadboarding, nothing stuck out as the problem. Downloaded and ran Memtest, got thousands of errors on both RAM sticks, but they only showed errors on test 6 and only on one core. Got the RAM replaced. Same with the mobo, got an exact replacement. Still no luck. Tried another GPU, no luck. Still Page Faults and Watchdog failures like there's no tomorrow.

At this point, the PSU and the CPU are the only things left. What are the odds that the CPU is the problem? The last time I installed it, I checked for bent pins and didn't see any. Please help!

Thank you!

First, swap the psu, its over 5 years old and it should've lost its perfomance. For example 12V voltage divides to CPU , PCIE and RAM (ram probably uses 3.3 or 5V not sure), as the voltage drops it may cause issues its like you close valve for gas and for logic it wont heat. Same as voltage increasing but worser.
Have you tried .1V higher from example 1.2 to 1.3V on ram?
If you RMA the motherboard/ram, breadboard, but CPU is new then PSU is only left, and does it have warranty still or?

Thanks for the reply.

I'll have to procure another PSU...I'm hoping that's all it is. The RAM was showing 1.1875v in bios, so I raised it to 1.2v (the spec on GeIL's site) and it made no difference unfortunately.

I'll buy a new PSU this weekend and see what happens.

Everything shows compatible together everywhere I've looked. Has anyone else used the processor, and mobo together with success, by chance?

Update: Replaced with new PSU...Thermaltake Smart 650w. No change. Page Fault Error, then on reset, the CPU led on the mobo is solid on with a black screen.

Can a bad CPU be throwing these errors or is Memtest leading me in the wrong direction?

Avoid buying parts guessing which will solve the issue. It's better to pay for a diagnostic from a professional. I'd return the PSU anyways as Thermaltake Smart Series units below 750 watts are considered to be low quality units.

If you've already RMA'd the motherboard and RAM, I would:

1. Flash BIOS
2. CMOS reset then Try running with just one stick of RAM
3. RMA the processor. Bad CPU out of the box is fairly rare though.

My apologies about that.

Don't worry about it Robert...what you said is true! It needed replacement due to age, so it will be replaced! Thanks for taking the time to answer.
