So a few weeks ago my boot drive started freaking out and wouldn’t get to Windows, and the USB that had my Windows install/repair files wasn't fixing it...so I went to Micro Center and bought a brand new M.2 (Samsung 980 Pro) and a brand new Windows 10 64-bit USB install drive. got it home, installed it, got windows loaded, no issue...right?
Wrong. Oh. So. Very. WRONG!
I have gotten, constant, and I do mean CONSTANT, various BSOD crashed ever since. This far, I have seen (in order of appearance):
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (Ntfs.sys)
MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED
SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (win32kfull.sys)
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (win32kbase.sys)
SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP (nvddmkm.sys)
APC_INDEX_MISMATCH (the latest in an unending chain of error messages)
The nvddmkm.sys I found was an Nvidia driver issue so I already took care of that. Otherwise, I have run numerous checks and tests (dskchk, scannow, memtest, etc), and each time they all come back saying nothing is wrong. I am at my wit’s end….and I like to think I have a considerable amount of wit.
