Hi, I'm getting really frustrated dealing with this issue, I recently upgraded from my old GTX 750 TI and old AMD processor, as for some time I had overheating issues with them & they were coming of age, causing the odd graphics driver crash, I can't remember too much, but before upgrading I remember something desperately wrong going on with my computer, resulting in BSOD's, even at one point I couldn't boot (I ended up fixing this etc etc.)

Now around a week ago, I upgraded both my GPU and CPU as I was due an upgrade and thought I can start afresh with whatever errors I encounter with new hardware to at least rule two components out. I purchased a Palit Nvidia Geforce 1050 GTX 2GB & an AMD A10 7890K 4.1GHz Quad Core.

When I got my new parts I decided to fresh install my OS because why not, this is when errors started to occur, things like irql_driver_less_or_not_equal and the driver variant of that error. To this day I've re-installed my OS around 4 times, even trying a Windows 10 copy to see if it was a corrupt OS installation due to my suspicion of it being RAM, leading onto my next problem, yesterday I purchased the Corsair Vengeance 8gb DDR3 RAM kit - realised that when I got my CPU I never installed the chipset drivers; installed them, this fixed my problem of several drivers throwing up warning signs in device manager, also installed my windows updates etc etc.

At this point I was happily gaming playing some War Thunder & Assassins Creed thinking that I've fixed my problem, really chuffed with myself, until I started receiving BSOD's again, now since I've installed my RAM I do have a collection of minidumps, and it seems weird, seems to be a pattern?
(IDK, I'm a novice with computers mostly, I can build them properly and such though, lol)

I'm receiving a load of PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA BSOD's, I did end up getting a different SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION BSOD too.

Please help, I've been attempting to troubleshoot this problem for about 7 days now, going on 8, racking my brains trying to think what can be going wrong, I'm losing my patience. 🙁

I can upload any needed minidumps, I just want to know if there's someone out there that can help me along with this.

Thanks!
Matt
