Faulty MOBO? PC wont boot

[nxjl18]

Hello, I posted yesterday in the Windows 10 section about getting BSOD every boot. After a lot of trial and error I came to the conclusion it might be a faulty MOBO.

What happened so far:
-Windows crashes into BSOD
-Computer stuck in a BSOD reboot loop
-Ran memtest86+. No errors.
-Tried booting from a windows installation usb. BSOD
-Tried running with just 1 stick of ram and cpu from windows USB. BSOD
-Tried booting ubuntu from usb. Error screen (http://imgur.com/a/pGg2l)

The windows BSOD is system thread exception not handled and kmod exception not handled. BIOS works just fine.

Any help is appreciated.

My hardware:
gigabyte z170x gaming 7
intel i5 6600k
kingston hyper x 2x8gb
asus geforce gtx 1060

Tried running with just 1 stick of ram and the cpu from windows USB. BSOD (Literally no hardware but MOBO, cpu, ram and the usb)

Remove the GPU if your monitor has HDMI. Use onboard. It maybe the drivers that are crashing

I did. I ran it using the onboard. Nothing was on the MOBO but the CPU and the stick of ram.

start it 3-4 times and press reset button so the troubleshooter thing comes up.. if it does select safe mode

BSOD. Unexpected kernel mode trap. Troubleshooter wont even come up

Cant do much else then. Reformat / do a clean install

 

[captaincharisma]

then you will have to try to get a copy of windows 10 and loas it on a DVD or USB drive to access the windows recovery menu. when you bootup with a windows 10 disk it will give you an option to "repair your computer" on the "install now" window

The HDD isnt the problem. I have tried to boot straight from a USB with no HDD (with ubuntu) and it still gives me an error screen. I cant reformat, clean install either because trying to boot the windows install usb causes a BSOD as well.

How did you put the install on the flash drive

 

[nxjl18]

How did you put the install on the flash drive

Using windows media creation tool for the windows installation usb and I used rufus for the ubuntu usb

 

[captaincharisma]

How did you put the install on the flash drive

go to Microsoft's website and download the media creation tool. this will download and create a bootable copy of windows 10 on a flash drive for you

Use rufus it does a better job

Change partition type to GPT enable UEFI, secureboot and AHCI in the BIOS first. If you're installing x64

rufus might be better but where are they supposed to get an ISO copy of windows 10?

 

[Paul NZ]

Well he said he used mediacreation tool.. If he did he can get it. If he's got it. Do the above if it gets to setup delete all partitions first

Change partition type to GPT enable UEFI, secureboot and AHCI in the BIOS first. If you're installing x64

kmode exception not handled. BSOD. This is after using rufus with those settings

You can use media creation tool to create an iso on your computer so you can burn it to a cd/whatever else

Sounds like something is stuffed then. RMA the mobo
