Hi there

I have built a new PC (components below). The building process has worked well so far and all components seem to be running. But after installing Windows 11 the problems started. Constant blue screens with different error messages (e.g. PAGE_DFAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL). Sometimes I can work for some time without any problems and suddenly the system crashes. After that, I usually can't restart it at all, but the bluescreens always come up immediately. I have done the following so far:
  • After some research and repeated references to the RAM, I activated EXPO in the BIOS for the same. However, this did not help.
  • BIOS update carried out
  • As a test, I installed Windows 10 on the second hard disk, and the same thing happened with Win10.
  • What I noticed: My memory is only recognised with a speed of 4800, although it should actually be 6000 (this both in the BIOS, in the CMD (with the "command wmic memorychip get speed") and also in the TaskManager).
  • I also ran HCI Memtest without finding any error.- Inserted only one RAM stick at a time. In both cases the same error(s) happens.
  • Unfortunately, I don't have any replacement RAMs that I could test.
Does anyone have any idea what this could be? In the meantime, I'm going to test Win10 a bit and I'll get back to you if it crashes here too.

Regarding the test with only one RAM stick: Does it matter in which slot I insert it? Because otherwise I could test whether another slot works and whether the fault is on the mainboard.

Just ask if you need more details/information :)

Thanks a lot for your help in advance!
