[SOLVED] BSODs and artifacts? problems

Hi to all,

About two weeks ago I assembled my PC kit (I was assembling myself).

Specification:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT
GPU: Radeon 5600XT Rog Strix ver. T6G
MTB: MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX
RAM: 2x 8GB Gskill TridentZ RGB 3200 CL16
SSD: AData M2 NVMe XPG SX8200 Pro 1TB
PSU: SilentiumPC Supremo M2 550W 80 Plus Gold
OS: Windows 10 Pro x64

The problem is that sometimes BSODs (different codes) appear when turning on the computer in boot or preboot mode. Shown in the screenshot. Bluescreens also sometimes appear after logging into Windows. There has never been any, if I remember correctly, during the game. On the other hand, in games (not all of them are clearly visible) there are strange pixelized "polka dots" or "powder" - (hard to name) in some places. As an example I am including SS from NFS: Payback in Ultra settings.

On top of that, sometimes I get the feeling that there is a white screen and a red screen for literally seconds, I noticed this in NFS: Payback.

What have I done so far:
  • BIOS update motherboard
  • Setting the RAM profile in the BIOS to # 2
  • I enabled and disabled Game Booster in BIOS, thought this setting might cause BSODs
  • Tried to turn on and off various options in the Adrenaline settings, nothing helped
  • I have updated the Adrenaline GPU drivers to the latest ones
Do you have any ideas? Is any of the current components damaged? What do you think?

Thank you in advance for your help.

its possible "iomap64.sys" is in Armoury crate now since its used to change values on Asus hardware and you use it for RGB.

the internal power errors all mention sleep in them, and hiberfile. I suspect its actually just an old driver that doesn't like win 10 power modes. Try turning fast startup off - https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/4189-turn-off-fast-startup-windows-10-a.html - that might stop those errors. its not really a fix, more a work around.

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

Comment: The overclocking driver "NTIOLib_X64.sys" was found on your system. (MSI Afterburner or other MSI software)

Comment: The GPU tweaking driver "iomap64.sys" was found on your system. (AI Suite or GPU Tweak 2)

You have the latest stable BIOS already installed. There is a newer Beta but we usually don't recommend you download those unless you have a specific need.

This information can be used by others to help you. Someone else will post with more information. Please wait for additional answers. Good luck.

wonder where the missing link is :)
My apologies. Long gone now. If I miss it when I paste it, it's gone. I could dig through my browser history but that might take an hour. It's quicker to re-run the dumps.

crash 1 & 3 are weird. I never seen the hibernate file crash before.

right click start button
choose powershell (admin)
type SFC /scannow and press enter
once its completed, copy/paste this command into same window:

Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth
and press enter

SFC fixes system files, second command cleans image files, re run SFC if it failed to fix all files and restart PC

First of all, thank you for your help. About the comments: MSI software (I have MSI Live Updater and MSI CPU-Z). I don't have AI Suite or GPU Tweak 2 but I did have MSI Dragon Center (not anymore after DDU Radeon Drivers, MSI DC disapeared) and Armory Crate from ASUS for RGB lights. Maybe RGB lighting programs are biting and causing BSODs problems?

After DDU Radeon Drivers I still have a graphics issue in a few games.

Sorry for the link with BSODs. I'm gonna upload it somewhere for a longer stay.

BSODs Old and two new ones: https://easyupload.io/cw3b9i (30 days active)

crash 1 & 3 are weird. I never seen the hibernate file crash before.

right click start button
choose powershell (admin)
type SFC /scannow and press enter
once its completed, copy/paste this command into same window:

Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth
and press enter

SFC fixes system files, second command cleans image files, re run SFC if it failed to fix all files and restart PC

Done.

Results:

Path :
Online : True
ImageHealthState : Healthy
RestartNeeded : False

The missed link was my fault, not yours. There's no way I can go through a large pile of dumps and figure out which ones that I've looked at so far, and haven't. It takes too long. So please only upload new dumps and provide a new link each time.

The overclocking drivers are always mentioned because they can cause BSODs. Overclocking can, and the drivers too. That doesn't necessarily mean they are the cause though. That will be figured out as we go.

Here's the results for the dumps you uploaded (I'm sure some are old as you said): https://jsfiddle.net/4frg6hp7/show This link is for anyone wanting to help. You do not have to view it. It is safe to "run the fiddle" as the page asks.
