THE DEALIO
Frequent bsods, can be fine for a week then crash 10 times in 1 day, completely random.
Either bsods, screen freezes, or screen turns black and pc restarts. it can happen in safemode and windows troubleshoot mode
Error codes are random varying between these: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, MEMORY MANAGEMENT, (something)_PAGE_IN_NONPAGED_AREA, ect.
Almost every time it is caused by the system driver ntoskrnl.exe, occasionally caused by Ntfs.sys.
I have checked, double checked, reinstalled, updated every possible driver i could possibly find without using any driver tools ect. to no avail.
I'm 100% certain it isn't a driver error at this point.
I have replaced the graphics card (old 1060 3gb) PSU, case now has better cooling
I have reinstalled windows 3 times with the installer from the official windows website, nothing different about my installation from any other normal PC
I have updated BIOS, updated firmware and drivers on all components.
THE MEMTEST
I looked into Memtest86 and ran several tests over the last few days, lets assign some names to my ram and mobo.
STICK 1 and STICK 2 for the 2 8GB sticks i have
SLOT 1 and SLOT 2, randomly assigned to the 2 slots i have on my mobo
now heres the results, all tests i did were the full 4 runthroughs.
STICK 1 passes in SLOT 1
STICK 1 passes in SLOT 2
STICK 2 passes in SLOT 1
STICK 2 passes in SLOT 2
STICK 1 and STICK 2 pass, STICK 1 in SLOT 1, STICK 2 in SLOT 2
STICK 1 and STICK 2 ran into more than 300+ errors in TEST #3 of the first run, STICK 1 in SLOT 2, STICK 2 in SLOT 1
remember the sticks are both the same
Unfortunately i dont know how to get the logs for these memtests, But this leads me to beilieve this is a problem with the mobo.
After the tests i ran windows with just 1 8GB stick in, i tried both sticks in both slots and ran into no errors. I only seem to have problems when i try to use both sticks at the same time
before this, windows bsods regardless the configuration of the ram and the slots, as long as there was 2 in there it had problems
So waddya think? i can send a picture of the memtest error text if needed. ask me for anything else as well.
