Hey Guys

So at the end of last year I built this PC:

i7 8700k
16GB 2400Mhz Corsair RAM
250GB Samsung M.2 NVME SSD
500GB Samsung SATA SSD
1TB WD Black HDD
ASUS Prime Z370P MOBO
750w beQuiet! Straightpower PSU

I was using an EVGA GTX 970 in this machine whilst waiting for a new card with no problems. Then, at the end of Jan, I purchased an EVGA GTX 1080. When I got the new card, games were constantly crashing, either to their own launcher, or to a typical "Windows encountered a problem and needs to close Game.exe" error. The games run for between 15 minutes to an hour before crashing completely.

At that stage, I RMA'd my card believing it to be the issue. The retailer found no fault with the card sent it back, so I began more tests.

I ran OCCT for 3 hours, I ran 8 passes of memtest, and I ran furmark for a ridiculously long session. No problems found. At this stage, I went and purchased a new power supply (the one in the list above), still encountering the same problem.

So, I got back in touch with the supplier, explained the situation and they replaced the card. Now, with the new card (MSI Gaming RGB GTX 1080) I am encountering the same problem even after re-installing Windows completely. Heres the excerpt from the Event Viewer:

It is worth mentioning that since reinstalling Windows, I've had one BSOD which had THIS Event attached to it:

***********************************
The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
{D63B10C5-BB46-4990-A94F-E40B9D520160}
and APPID
{9CA88EE3-ACB7-47C8-AFC4-AB702511C276}
to the user DESKTOP-8L92JMJ\edanh SID (S-1-5-21-449977897-212395903-2830319169-1001) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC) running in the application container Unavailable SID (Unavailable). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.
***********************************

After this happened the first time, I followed this guide online:

https://shauncassells.wordpress.com/2015/09/28/windows-10-event-10016-fix-the-application-specific-permission-settings-do-not-grant-local-activation-permission-for-the-com-server-application-with-clsid-d63b10c5-bb46-4990-a94f-e40b9d520160-and-a/

I haven't had any BSOD since this, but that text is still appearing regularly in my event viewer, tagged as an error.

I know this is a long post, and if any of you are gracious enough to have even read this far, thank you. ANY help would be appreciated on this, I've spent so much time and money getting this machine built and up and running, I'm just so gutted that im in this situation now. :(

Thanks in advance guys.

I am not sure what the problem is, I am replying to this thread with the knowledge I have (admittedly not a lot) and hope you fix it out. Good luck.
 
the log entry you listed is unrelated to any bugcheck (bluescreen)
it just means the app did not have permissions to access the local network cards loopback interface
127.0.0.1 for creating windows socket connections. (it is a special case address)
it is just a minor bug since the app could most likely make connections to its own assigned ip address.

you can google on how to give the app the permissions but the problem comes back after some time as the system gets updated so I would not bother.

the app fault was due to the app using a bad memory address.
the app was sea of thieves dated Wed Mar 14 14:06:23 2018

it could be a app bug

if you were getting a bugcheck, windows would store a memory dump in c:\windows\minidump directory. you can put it on a cloud server like Microsoft onedrive, share it for public access and post a link.

for most bugchecks, you would want to update the BIOS and the motherboard drivers.
then do a clean install of your graphics driver. (fixes cases where the motherboard audio driver messes up the GPU audio driver and crashes the GPU driver.

since it was an app that crashed it is really hard to say why. it could be the network drivers, the xbox hub or anything that provides support to the game as well as the game itself.

updating the motherboard drivers often helps because you will get updated SATA drivers, updated usb drivers, updated sound drivers. if you use a wireless thumb device you have to get the updated drivers from the vendor of the device (or look up the chipset in the device and get a driver update from the chip vendor)
