Hi there,
So I just build a new build about a week ago now:
i7 6700
MSI GTX 980 (from an old build)
Silverstone SFX500
16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 RAM Low Profile
Intel 7260 Wifi/AC
Sandisk 256GB SSD (~2000 hours)
WD Green 2TB drive (~4000 hours)
Gigabyte B150N ITX
Not sure if this is a Windows 10 problem but the BIOS setup still works but can't boot into windows.
Don't know how important PART 1 is to the problem but you can skip straight to PART 2 for the problem.
PART 1: Backstory
The problem I have is a bit strange to me. I wouldn't be asking if it was something simple.
The Computer was working PERFECTLY for a few days. Not a single problem, playing games, editing videos etc.
So over the weekend I was playing Overwatch and the game crashed, which I thought at the time was strange but thought nothing of it. Booted the game back up and I was going again. Not a problem for the rest of the night. The next day I got just a random BSOD which browsing the web. Again, thought it was strange but though nothing of it. Rebooted and I was going fine again for a couple days. Now just yesterday I was playing Overwatch, game crashes(can't remember the error but it was the same as before), restarted the game but it would crash instantly. So I kept trying to restarted the game when it eventually BSOD and I haven't been able to boot my computer since.
PART 2: The Problem
So now everytime I try and boot into Windows 10 I get a BSOD. So I pulled apart my brand new build removing everything except the SSD, CPU, MOBO, Power Supply. Still BSOD booting into windows; sometimes it would make it into the log in screen then BSOD, sometimes just the windows logo screen.. So I take away my SSD and insert just a USB with the Windows 10 Installer. Still BSOD. So not the SSD.
Now here is the strange part, I made a list of all the BSOD messages I've gotten so far:
- Driver overran stack buffer
- system service exception
- system thread exception not handled
- kmode exception not handled
- irql not less or equal
- paged fault in non paged area
- kernel security check failure
- I have also got secondary messages like "what failed: cng.sys" and "what failed: ntfs.sys"
PART 3: Which One?
So I've narrowed the problem down to either the Motherboard, CPU, or Memory. Maybe possibly all three?
All three parts and brand new. I don't have spare parts of these sockets to test them out. I think I will have to RMA at least 1 of these, so WHICH ONE is most likely to be the problem here?
EDIT:
Okay to be clear I didn't install windows onto a USB Drive.
I in fact have tried to install a fresh copy of Windows and it can't even boot into the Windows Installer. That's for both Windows 8 and Windows 10.
Thanks,
Van
