Question New Build, Fresh Win 10 Install, Fails at BSOD - unexpected kernel mode trap

[adamcurpier]

Hey all, just did a new desktop build:

Specs:
I7-6700K
Asrock Z270 Killer ac
16gb Corsair Veng.
Corsair H110 Cooler
Thermaltake 700w psu
AMD 580 - 8gb gpu (Sapphire Nitro)
3 - 120gb ssd's

SO ... used the win 10 media creation tool to make a bootable USB stick (using my laptop). When I try to install Win 10 on the new machine, I get 1 of 2 errors. The first is the BSOD with the unexpected kernel mode trap error, it just keeps booting to this error OR I get the win logo, the dots start to spin, then in hangs (I have left it sit like this for 15 min).

So, looking for any advice. The SSD's have a fresh format, all other components in the system are brand new. Have tried using the onboard gpu and external gpu, same results. Also, did a reformat of the USB and a fresh install of Win 10 install on it. I have no issues getting to the bios ... and I did update the bios btw.

TY!!!!

Hello

Although highly unlikely since it's a new built, can you please try Clearing the CMOS and see if it helps?

Apart from this, any of your RAM sticks might be the culprit, and you may want to check them as well.

Cheers!!
