Need help with this constant blue screen.
New pc build, less than 1 month old. Some parts were taken out of my old PC. Most parts are new.

Full build list can be provided.

I have my minidump files but I'm not sure how to share them, kind of new to this.
 
Solution
You could have used MSI Dragon Centre to update drivers, 3rd party apps like Driver Easy can install the wrong drivers.

I have seen people with 10 series cards have problems with latest Nvidia drivers. I know you have the latest but its not ideal.

we aren't sure if GPU Tweak works on non asus motherboards
it installed

you might want to remove it as it could cause errors as well. these...

firstly, with minidumps, you need to copy them to another folder and then upload the copies, as you don't own the originals, windows does.

Hi, I ran the dump file through the debugger and got the following information: https://flavorfulemu.htmlpasta.com/

File information:050720-20671-01.dmp (May 7 2020 - 21:11:27)
Bugcheck:PFN_LIST_CORRUPT (4E)
Probably caused by:memory_corruption (Process: nvcontainer.exe)
Uptime:0 Day(s), 13 Hour(s), 43 Min(s), and 02 Sec(s)

Comments:
  • The overclocking driver "NTIOLib_X64.sys" was found on your system. (MSI Afterburner or other MSI software)
  • The GPU tweaking driver "iomap64.sys" was found on your system. (AI Suite or GPU Tweak 2)
  • The overclocking driver "IOCBios2.sys" was found on your system. (Intel Extreme Tuning Utility)

Possible Motherboard page: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/mpg-z390-gaming-edge-ac
There is a BIOS update available for your system. You have version A.6 and the latest is A.7. Wait for additional information before deciding to update or not. Important: Verify that I have linked to the correct motherboard. Updating your BIOS can be risky. Never try it when you might lose power (lightning storms, recent power outages, etc).

This information can be used by others to help you. Someone else will post with more information. Please wait for additional answers. Good luck.

process that crashed is part of nvidia drivers, maybe thats a hint too :)

Try running DDU and instead of installing drivers via Geforce experience, run windows update and let it find drivers for card - https://forums.tomshardware.com/faq...n-install-of-your-video-card-drivers.2402269/

sure, I could be victim blaming but BSOD test itself isn't overly helpful, and nvidia drivers are often at top of my drivers to blame list these days.

Do you have an Asus motherboard? or Asus GPU? or both?
Specs will help

Asus GPU- 1070 ti turbo

MSI motherboard- MSI Z390 gaming edge



intel i7-8700

trident z 32gb ram

be quiet 650 PSU

crucial nvme ssd

samsung SSD



umm those are the important stuff.

I am not trying to over clock anything. I actaully had my XMP turned on for my ram but i turned it off to see if that helps at all.

Ive used driver easy and updated pretty much everything it asked to update. I've also gone on the website for my GPU and it says ive got the latest driver installed.

you might want to remove it as it could cause errors as well. these files can change hardware values.

see if removing that is all you need, gpu drivers might be okay.
