Hi guys, I've been experiencing frequent BSOD since 19th august 2022 and up until I wrote this it's already happened 5 times.

This BSOD happened so randomly and most of the times were while idling and as for today it happened when my pc was on sleep mode (it wakes just for the bsod)

PC specs:
AsRock b450 Pro4
ryzen 3500x
ram 16gb ddr4 2667mhz clock speed
rx 5700 xt 8gb
Seagate firecuda SSHD 2TB + 1TB
adata su650 240GB m2 sata
Crucial MX250 1tb connected with enclosure through USB C port

troubleshooting i already did:
sfc check (no error)
disk check (no error)
mem diagnostic check (no error)
reverting vga driver from 22.8.1 to 22.5.1 (stable ver)
try to idle my pc while downloading for 2 days, no BSOD.

what happened before BSOD:
I update my windows 10 on 14th august and I didn't open my pc frequently until 19th august so this could be the triggerer.

If you updated windows it may have loaded crappy AMD drivers. Try using ddu uninstall for amd drivers. Display Driver Uninstaller Download version 18.0.5.4 (guru3d.com) Then install non beta, recommended AMD drivers and see if it stops. I would also try setting your windows power setting to high performance if it isn't already.

windows power setting always on energy savings since I built this pc from 2020 and I've never experienced any BSOD before 19th august.
I'll try DDU 1st, thank you for your suggestions, i'll try to keep this post updated.

Can you follow option one on the following link - here - and then do this step below: Small memory dumps - Have Windows Create a Small Memory Dump (Minidump) on BSOD - that creates a file in c windows/minidump after the next BSOD

  1. Open Windows File Explore
  2. Navigate to C:\Windows\Minidump
  3. Copy the mini-dump files out onto your Desktop
  4. Do not use Winzip, use the built in facility in Windows
  5. Select those files on your Desktop, right click them and choose 'Send to' - Compressed (zipped) folder
  6. Upload the zip file to the Cloud (OneDrive, DropBox . . . etc.)
  7. Then post a link here to the zip file, so we can take a look for you . . .

BugCheck: [CRITICAL_STRUCTURE_CORRUPTION (109)]
Probably caused by: CI.dll (Process: System)
Uptime: 0 Day(s), 0 Hour(s), 47 Min(s), and 12 Sec(s)

Comment: 2 or more types of RAM are installed.

how long you used 2 different sticks of ram?
8gb Hynix
8gb V gen

That could be cause if you only just started using those 2 together recently.

Possible causes:
not sure what this is, its age tells me it might not be win 10

This doesn't know what Ryzen was last time I checked

You probably don't need this

Could update Bios, you 5 versions behind - https://www.asrock.com/mb/Amd/B450 Pro4/#BIOS

2 different sticks of ram since may 2022, I'll try remove all the drivers you listed. as for bios, I'll wait until the next BSOD happened (hope it wont happen again though)

Holds off celebrating a new BSOD until he gets conversion
oh good, it wasn't one I didn't want to see.

Error stack text appears to be all cpu operations, no storage actions or ram mentioned. it was all on CPU.
Mainly file actions from what I can tell. No driver names, but that is normal.
I have worked all this out as I go along and sometimes I get results that make me wonder what its doing.

Which stick of ram is the newer one?
Try running memtest86 on each of your ram sticks, one stick at a time, up to 4 passes. Only error count you want is 0, any higher could be cause of the BSOD. Remove/replace ram sticks with errors. Memtest is created as a bootable USB so that you don’t need windows to run it

I just want to be sure its not the ram causing it.

hynix is the newer one, about memtest86, do I need a bootable drive / flashdisk? i've run windows mem diagnostic and everything came out clean but i'll still do the memtest as you say. Thanks again

6 days since the last BSOD appeared.

This is what i've done so far:
uninstall gpu driver using DDU and then reinstall it -> different BSOD appeared (fltmgr with system thread exception not handled error)
replace ram and use the same ram stick for dual channel -> fltmgr no longer happened

Seems the BSOD completely disappeared by now. I'll keep this post updated if something else happened
