Hello guys, first thing first I'm sorry if my english is not really good.

I have multiple BSOD since couple weeks ago. The BSOD are :
- Memory Management
- Page Fault in Non Paged Area
- System Thread Exception Not Handled
- Faulty Hardware Corrupt Page
- System Service Exception

That things happen when I'm browsing the webpage and also in game when I switch between game and browser (google chrome). However the BSOD also seems to be randomly appear even when at idle. From what i experienced the BSOD will come after some of my tab on chrome are falling down and showing "Aw, Snap" message or some of my apps can't be opened.

From what I read on the internet all BSOD are related to RAM, driver, hardisk faulty. So I take a several solution

1. Reinstall windows and update bios & driver to the lastest, BSOD still appear.
2. Take memory test using memtest86+ and passes 11 test with no error, also test the ram stick one by one and still get no errors. HCI memtest pass 2500% no error after all.
3. Change the harddisk & reinstall windows, BSOD still appear.

The strange thing is until before yesterday all that BSOD seems gone when I take off the GPU and using iGPU only, all my system seem stable until right now without BSOD. Is it possible all that BSOD are caused by the GPU hardware? because from what I read they are not related to GPU hardware. Some people told me it's motherboard fault, ram fault, or even memory controller fault. That is causing me a bit confusing for what hardware are should be taking to RMA, .

My specs :
Proc : AMD A8 7650K @ 3.9 Ghz Vcore 1.25
Mobo : Colorful C.A68M-P V16 (I know this is chinese cheap motherboard)
RAM : Patriot signature with heatspreader 2 x 4 GB @ 1600 Mhz
HDD : WD Blue caviar 500 GB
GPU : Sapphire RX 460 2 GB Dual fan (stock clock, stock voltage)
PSU : FSP Hexa+ 400w

I'm included some mini memory dumps from the lastest BSOD.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.
 
1| Can you please state the age of the FSP PSU?

2| Have you ruled out a corrupt installer by recreating your bootable USB installer and reinstalling your OS?

3| If the BSOD's come about as soon as you drop in the GPU, the issue would likely be in your drivers. Use DDU and remove all traces of the iGPU and GPU drivers. After that and a reboot, power down and install your discrete GPU and then power up and then install the latest Crimson drivers found off of AMD's support site.

4| Pertaining to memory, have you manually input the timings for your ram within BIOS while also making sure the primary display output is PCI-E graphics?

5| I'd also be leaning towards a half baked BIOS by the makers of that Chinese board.
 


1. The PSU is already 2 years old

2. Yes, everytime when reinstaling windows, I also recreating bootable USB installer.

3. I'm never use DDU before, but when reinstalling windows & installing drivers I'm only using my discrete GPU, so the iGPU should never been detected.

4. I'm never touch the memory timings because I've no experience on it, but from what I see on bios the timings are perfectly same as the timings that wroted in sticker on memory.

5. If it's true the problem is half baked BIOS looks like I have no other choice than replace the mobo. I've contacted them but unfortunately my email has been rejected by their server.
 


Thank you for your suggestion.
Unfortunately after I completely removed AMD Overdrive, I'm still get Faulty Hardware Corrupt Page BSOD when using discrete GPU.
