Hi all,
I am hoping someone here can help, because I am at the end of my rope with this, it has been 11 months of issues. I've been experiencing multiple BSODs, usually later in the day, unless I game, in which case I usually make it about 90 minutes. If I just use the computer to work, sometimes I can go a whole day without one.
As background, I completely rebuilt this computer in June 2023 (only original part was a GTX 1080 FTW and the liquid cooling system, which, mistakenly, I had thought it was newer than it was). Fast forward to roughly March 2023, I started experiencing crashes playing Helldivers 2. I assumed it was my GTX 1080 not able to keep up with a newer game, so I replaced it with an RTX 4070.
I continued to get crashes, and found out I was overheating (the liquid cooling system was older than I realized and was shot). I replaced the liquid cooling with an air cooler, and haven't had any thermal issues since.
I continue to experience multiple BSODs in similar patterns as above, a lot of them reference memory issues so I replace the RAM. I continue to experience BSOD.
I have done multiple reformats, thinking possible driver issues, still no good so ultimately I RMA the GPU (the first change that caused all the BSOD). I got a new one as ASUS service says they found memory issues, put it in, BSOD.
I replaced the SSDs, reinstall Windows 11, it can idle for 27 hours, I game for am hour, BSOD.
PC Specs
MOBO: ASUS Prime Z-790a Wi-Fi
CPU: Intel i7-13700K
GPU: ASUS RTX4070 OC
RAM: G.SKILL Trident Z5 DDR5 (2x16)
PSU: MSI A1000G
SSD: Samsung 990 Pro 2TB
Experiencing repeated BSODs, usually later in the day or within 90 minutes of running a game. Most recent examples of the BSOD errors:
Irql_not_less_or_equal
Kmode_exception_not_handled
What I've tried
I have completed several other memory diagnostic tests, CPU and GPU stress tests, chkdsk, sfc /scannow, dism scans, updated drivers, updated BIOS. I've brought it to Microcenter but they haven't been able to get any crashes. Saw someone mention my RAM was more stable at 4800 instead of 6000 (advertised) so tried showing it down.
I have noticed benchmarks do not typically cause BSOD, it's usually in live use of the computer and not through stress testing.
I can post minidumps tomorrow if needed, I have very few as I recently reinstalled.
Thank you very much for your help.

What I've tried
- Replaced GPU

- Reformatted hard drive over a dozen times
- RMA'd GPU and reinstalled
- Replaced SSD and reinstalled Windows 11
