Question BSoDs - OC become unstable?

[katulen]

Hey guys.

My i7 9700K have been running stable on 5.0GHz the last 8 months, however a week ago I all of the sudden experienced BSoD's.

For the last week I have had 1 BSoD each day, saying"IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL".

Today, I had another new type of BSoD, but this time it was saying "KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE"

After today I decided to try downclock my CPU to 4.9GHz to see if that will help on the issue, however I wanted to hear you guys if you had any idea what its caused by - and IF it could potential be my OC have become unstable.

I would love to hear from you experts out there

Best regards

So what youre suggesting, is try to use a different headset and see if the warnings persist or?

I mean, by searching I havent found anyone experiencing the issue, that didnt have hyperx headset.
But could be a possibility that it would persist even with another headset as well.

Trying to find the root cause. With PC's issues can be anything, just because something is outside your experience or unlikely to be true. Does not make that objectivity proven as not able to happen. If you think you have found a possible reason for your issue, then removing the problem device might fix the problem. Or if you have updated the drivers then wait and see if the issue goes away. It's only a few hours of playing PC games that you would have played anyway.

Yeah, i do not disagree with you.
But yeah, I will try that for sure.

But so far no BSoDs - I hope it will stay that way 😀 But we will see i guess.

So an update.
Apparently it wasn't actually fixed. After a few days of bsod free, it started again, with the same symptoms.

Warning such as:
The driver \Driver\WudfRd failed to load for the device HID\VID_0951&PID_16A4&MI_03&Col02\7&1c94fa2&0&0001.

And critical warning such as:
The device HID-compliant headset (location (unknown)) is offline due to a user-mode driver crash. Windows will attempt to restart the device 5 more times. Please contact the device manufacturer for more information about this problem.

I have tryid uninstalling and reinstalling USB Controllers, updated windows, memtest, oc stability tests, updated drivers such as chipset, audio etc.
I dont know what to do from here.

Any solutions?

Could well be driver related or an issue with the USB device. https://troubleshooter.xyz/wiki/fix-driver-wudfrd-failed-to-load/ https://social.technet.microsoft.co...e-wirelesskeyboardfilter?forum=w7itprogeneral

 

[katulen]

Yeah it could might well be the device. I just dont have another one by hand, at this moment to test a day with another headset. Unfortunately. But im thinking of buying one, just to try it out.

When i boot my PC with my HyperX headset connected through USB, it will upon startup log a warning saying:
The driver \Driver\WudfRd failed to load for the device HID\VID_0951&PID_16A4&MI_03&Col02\7&1c94fa2&0&0001.

(VID_0951 is Kingstons Vendor ID (HyperX))

If I remove the USB hub/adapter from my headset, and connect my headset directly into a jackstick port, I do not get the warning.
So im gonna try that out to see if it has any effect.

If it works at least you will have sound.

So here is an update.

I must admit, that it is sadly and not likely that it is my headset causing the BSoDs afterall.
HyperX send me a new USB hub / soundcard, and it removed the errors I had in eventlog, however the BSoD is still occuring, with the same BSoD message whenever OC is enabled.

Prior to that, I have run my PC with default bios settings for a week and I did not get any BSoDs.
As soon as I enable overclock, I will get BSoD once or twice a day - However, this is ONLY happening whilst playing Escape From Tarkov.

I have BIOS version 0905 and there has been 4 updates after my current version, and the newest available is version 1401. And in 2-3 of the recent version, there is improved system stability within the changelog.

Do you guys think, updating my BIOS version to the newest available, could improve stability once again?

 

[TechyInAZ]

So your OC's will past the 8 hours of Prim95, IBT etc etc? But you get a BSOD still?

That's very very odd.

YES 100% update your BIOS. That is one of the first things to do when experiencing issues like this.

 

[katulen]

Yeah. I had some issues with IBT when I made my OC back then, so I assume it would still be the case. However it pass P95, Realbench & OCCT +8 hours. Also passes memtest86 & HCI memtest.

And after 8 months, became unstable - And ONLY having issues whilst playing EFT. (red. Escape From Tarkov).
After some research I have found multiple cases where people having issues with BSoDs whilst playing EFT.

I thought it was maybe my XMP causing issues, but still getting BSoD with XMP off.
I have also tryid to downclock to 4.9GHz AND with an AVX offset of -2 with no success.

It runs EFT for week(s) no problem with no OC enabled, so I guess I will try flash my BIOS to newest version tomorrow, and enable my OC settings once again, and will check if I get same issues.
