Hey guys. So a custom PC i bought around a year or two ago recently was updated to the creators update. This in itself didn't cause me any issues, but after a windows security update, all hell has broken loose regarding blue screens.
I've been working tirelessly to figure it out over the past day, and i really can't figure out what is going on. I have attempted reinstalling windows on my primary SSD, then swapped it out for a brand new unused SSD and installed windows there, was getting BSODs right off the brand new installation on both drives immediately. I've run memtest86 on both of my 8gb ram sticks, without any errors on either. I have also tried running windows with both of the sticks individually, getting BSODs with both, despite not having errors on memtest.
The BSOD stop codes range from ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY, KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED, SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED, PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON-PAGED_AREA, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, BAD_POOL_CALLER, and many, many more. There is absolutely nothing consistant about the behaviors of any of these, and i am rarely seeing the .sys files associated with them. fltmgr.sys was one which i did see pretty commonly, prior to the clean format/installs of windows. I'm not seeing that one anymore. kmode is probably the most common.
I will say I have not updated the BIOS on my motherboard. I have enabled minidumps for BSODs now, and will post any i get on google drive shortly.
My specs are as follows:
GTX 1080 8gb
Intel i7 6700k 4.00ghz
16gb ddr4 2666mhz ram
samsung 850 evo 250gb(primary drive)
seagate 2tb hybrid(secondary drive)
Gigabyte GA-Z170MX- Gaming 5
EVGA Supernova 650w 80+ gold
What should I do? I really need a working desktop in the next 2 days, I've already formatted my SSDs and attempted clean installs, and i'm ready to do anything to fix this.
Thanks.
