My PC is getting so many BSOD's!

[Hootla1]

Where do I begin? I installed some new hardware: New Motherboard (Asus Z170), New CPU (I7 6700) and new RAM (16GB DDR4 Corsair Venegence 2400).

I started getting these random BSOD's like;
"MEMORY_MANAGEMENT"
"IRQS_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL"
"PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA"
"UNEXPECTED_KERNAL_MODE_TRAP"

It was heavily recommended (In another thread) that seeing as I did not re-install Windows when installing the new gear, that I should do that. So with much struggle I finally managed to get it on to a USB stick with 'Media Creation Tool', re-installed )What I think was) a clean installation. It took SO long because it kept BSODing while installing and launching but I finally got it done! Now I still get multiple BSOD's and it's SO incredibly slow! I'm trying to install Google Chrome but eh page just takes forever to load and says "Hmmm... Can't reach this page". Also, my task bar keeps randomly refreshing when I try to use it. It's looking like my whole PC has just gone kappot! Someone please help me, you don't understand how much it would mean! Thank you!

You may need to completely delete the partition and re-install windows. If you have that software, there is no need to get some many BSODs. So when you install Windows, DELETE the partition and and click format. It should go away.

Thank you for replying! I was starting to think no-one was! 😀

So just to confirm, boot from the USB again, when it comes to choosing where to install it, format my HDD, then install it to there?

Thanks again

How the system behaves when in BIOS? Runs stable for longer periods of time? If yes, you should first try testing the ram sticks with memtest.

Yes. But if you do that, you will lose EVERYTHING.

Hi, it performs fine in the BIOS from what I have experienced. I'm not sure if I'll even be able to load the page to download memtest, but I'll give it a try while I wait for Herc's response.

Haha it's fine, I haven't got much left to lose at this point! Let me just see if I can install this 'memtest'.

If you delete the partition, you will lose everything. Just warning you.

Hmm... I don't really want to spend $39.99 on just a test. I'm just going to format my HDD like Herc said.

Okay, I formatted it, now 'Getting files ready for installation 25%'

I didn't even know there was a memtest you had to pay for. 😀 http://www.memtest86.com/download.htm and get the free edition.

Whoops! I'm currently in the process of reinstall Windows, but I'll do that first thing if this doesn't go to plan! Thank you! 😀

Erm Herc, what now?

During install? Sounds like hardware problem. Memtest first.

That was after the install, I can't get on my PC, I'm stuck in this loop (Besides BIOS)

 

[Herc08]

Can you at least get into Safe mode? Not sure why are getting that...even after deleting the partition.

 

[Herc08]

You may have to do a manual RAM test. This involves taking out all the RAM, and testing each stick in each slot. Booting only with that stick. It takes some time, but based off that, it seems one of the memory sticks is bad.

What ever key I press out of the 9 options it just takes me back to the page that the Imgur shows, unless I can launch it from BIOS

 

[Herc08]

Ok, do the manual RAM test and see if you may have a faulty RAM

How? I can't get on my PC...

When I boot from USB I can go in to "Repair Computer" and I get a few options there. https://imgur.com/gallery/XMB3y

It's not much to do there as it may be a hardware issue. I mean you have to physically take out the RAM sticks. Then starting with "stick 1" you put it in slot 1. Boot up normally. Any errors? Records it. Shut down. Put stick one in slot 2, boot, record, shut down. Then if you have two other slots, do the same. Now, take the OTHER ram stick (stick 2) and repeat the process.

It is tedious, but it will see if you have an actual hardware problem. If that is not the case, there may be other things we can look in t.

As I expected:
Stick 1: Slot 1: Recovery Page
Stick 1: Slot 2: Recovery Page
Stick 1: Slot 3: Recovery Page
Stick 1: Slot 4: Recovery Page
Stick 2: Slot 1: Recovery Page
Stick 2: Slot 2: Recover Page
Stick 2: Slot 3: Recovery Page
Stick 2: Slot 4: Recovery Page

I didn't think it was a RAM issue, it was only installed yesterday and it displayed 16GB in my specs. Also, someone told me that this page is normally displayed when there are missing Windows Files

 

[Herc08]

Strange. So we can rule that out. Do you have another computer? You may want to securely wipe your drive and re-install Windows. And how are yo making the USB stick? Straight from the Media Tool?

 

[DRagor]

Maybe expected, but still when trying to find the source of problem, you have to make certain steps to limit number of components that could be involved in problem.
Next suspect by me is drive. Or it's cables.
