Hello all

My PC has been crashing while I'm playing games with errors like : PAGE FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA or IRLQ NOT LESS OR EQUAL ( Sometimes the pc would just freezes and shut down without error reports and the BSOD )
My specs are:
i3 9100f
ASUS ROG b360-g motherboard
gtx 1060( 6gb)
Antecmemory 5 series (8GB x1)
500W PSU

(I'm suspecting that it's the incompatible RAM as it is not listed on the supported RAM models on ASUS's website) https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/...G_GAMING/ROG-Strix-B360-G-Gaming-DRAM-QVL.PDF

Thank you all in advance.
 
Welcome to the forums my friend!

Firstly what is your PSU make and model and what storage drives do you have installed?
Then I would have a look at this guide to go through how to enable minidumps so that you can post them here, where we can help dig into the problem a bit more: https://forums.tomshardware.com/thr...nclude-in-blue-screen-of-death-posts.3468965/

Being as you are having RAM issues, I would also run MEMTEST for at least 4 passes.

I know it's a bit late but thanks alot.
The problem was just a faulty ram stick and I able to get a replacement at the retailer.
