The problem: BSODs with irq less than, etc.
The system:
Corsair i7500 Gaming PC
i9-14900k,
Z90 motherboard,
RTX 4090 GPU
64 gigs DDR5,
1000 watt ATX 80 power supply,
Windows 11 Pro
And yes, this SOB cost $4,000, and I’ve had it for a whole 10 days, which is why I’m so hacked off about this.
When I first got it, the first thing I did was a windows update. That was the first crash. Then they kept coming. Contacted Corsair customer support; it came down to a whole new, complete Win reinstall.
But, when I got the flash drive inserted and tried to reboot, it crashed again.
So, I was left with only one option—the reset this pc, but when I did, I used the option to download the files from the cloud, rather than trust the ones on the pc.
That worked. I could plug and unplug usb flash and hard drives without a problem. So, I had two hard drives installed and transferred whole terabytes of files to them.
All was well. (Remember, when things seem to going well, that means you’ve over looked something.)
With only Vivaldi browser running, I took a nap. And when I woke up, What Crashed recorded two BSODs, same irq driver crap, within half an hour. So, I tried experimenting with plugging and unplugging usb flash and hard drives. And it crashed every time.
Today, it’s stable, but that’s because I plugged in the hard drives before booting up.
What ever this is, it’s occurring on the instance of plugging in or unplugging flash drives or usb drives. I also have a wireless Logitech keyboard and camera, neither of which seem to cause problems.
I’ve tried the usual—scannow, dism, checked device manager for those yellow asterisks. (What the hell good is device manager? You could have a hard drive melted down into a pool of molten metal, sitting on your desk next to the keyboard and device manager would still say “this device is working properly”.) According to the system, every thing is peachy keen!
So, any idea how I should proceed? I should mention that What Crashed shows an incident on March 25, which was before I even received the machine. Specifically: On Mon 3/25/2024 8:42:00 AM your computer crashed or a problem was reported
(Is there something happening in the pc industry that I don’t know about? I first got a pc from Amazon in March. I think the brand name was Yuyian. I spent a week going back and forth with them before they realized I was right, and the secondary hard drive was defective. So, I got a refund and bought a Corsair. Corsair’s reputation is generally good. Then, over the course of the next month, I got four more hard drives for various reasons, all western digital—allegedly the most reliable. Two of them were defective and had to be replaced. Now, if you count the hard drive in the pc I sent back, that’s five hard drives in one month, three of which were defective. That’s a 60% failure rate! Sixty percent!!??)
