Hello all.
Before we get started, this is my system as of right now: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sF8TwP
So last Friday, I decided to upgrade my PC a little bit. I bought a 500gb m.2 drive for my flight simulation, and I also bought 16 more GB of RAM (this exact kit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017NW5NZY/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_4?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 ) This kit is a 2x 8GB kit at 2400mhz.
The RAM I had before adding this kit was 2x of this stick: https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-Veng...0mhz+ddr4&qid=1586914827&s=electronics&sr=1-2
So I originally had one stick (8GB) of that, then later got a second stick (16GB) which ran well, then I wanted to upgrade to 32GB so I got that 16GB kit linked earlier? With me?
So I install everything and I boot my PC and it brings me to the BIOS saying it detected a CPU or Memory change, which was correct. Since I don't touch my memory in the bios, I just hit save and exit, and then boom Windows shows I have 32GB of RAM.
Then today I am flying around in flight simulator when I get a blue screen, which I have not gotten in a very long time. The code was "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL", and at the time I didn't think anything of it.
Come back to later this afternoon, I'm installing a new version of flight sim on my fresh m.2 drive when I keep having crashes with a fully default installation. The crash keeps happening because of kernalbase.dll. This dll is known to crash because of driver issues. I also look up my BSOD code from earlier to see it too can crash because of driver issues.
So okay, drivers are a problem. I first run the Windows Memory Diagnostic test, which comes back with no errors at all. Then I run the cmd scan /scannow test, and it says everything was A-okay. I also run Display Driver Uninstaller w/ safe mode to remove and install my GPU drivers. Now everything is brand new, but I come back to my flight simulator, and low and behold it is still crashing. I have ran a lot of memory tests and nothing says there is a problem. I don't know what else to try! Anyone got any ideas?
