New PC build causing crashing, BSOD

[hawke3719]

Hey guys! So iam rather new to Building PCs, I have done good so far until now.

My current build:
i7 7700K 4.2ghz
MSI GeForce gtx 1080
Z270 PC mate motherboard
16GB DDR4 trident g skill 3200mhz
750W gold evga PSU
Kraken x62 liquid CPU cooler
1TB HD
250 GB SSD

Originally I bought the PC from ibuypower and decided I didn't like most of what was in the case. I replaced everything except the mobo, graphics card, and CPU. (I should've custom built lol)

Up until yesterday everything worked fine, no crashing while playing games, no BSOD, nothing.

Yesterday my new nzxt case and cooler came in the mail so I swapped everything from the old ibuypower case to the new case, and installed the new cpu cooler and cam software to control it. Ever since swapping cases, I can't play games for more then 5 minutes without them crashing (PuBg, h1z1, Tera, wow, etc) Also about 8 times I have gotten the BSOD at random times. Iam at a loss, I don't understand what is wrong, everything worked perfectly until I swapped cases.

Some of the bsod errors system service exception, page fault in non paged area.

I have tried:
Checking connections
Did a test of the ram/memory. Xmp is enabled in my bios
Make sure ram is seated properly
Did a check of both my hard drives
Made sure all drivers are up to date
All temps are fine

I just can't picture why it wouldn't work when it did perfectly in the other case 🙁 any suggestions anyone?

So you changed 2 parts and now have issues. First lets take a good look at the new parts. The case probably isnt the cause unless its some odd grounding issue. Now the cooler requires you to clean off the old paste and apply new. You plugged up the fans and pump correctly? I suggest you use HWmonitor to watch temps.

I removed the old stock cooler, wiped the old paste off the CPU with a lint free cloth and 100% rubbing alcohol basically, the new x62 cooler came with the thermal paste pre applied. The cooler comes with CAM software to monitor temps, and I used corsair link, my temps are good, no overheating whatsoever.

Did the cam software come on a diskor did you get the newest version from the website?

 

[hawke3719]

Yea you have to download it off the website to control the rgb cooler

Checking to make sure the cam software is up to date and not old stuff of disk.

Ok if everything worked before then pull the motherboard out of the case. Seat the motherboard on the motherboard box with everything plugged up test. This test will let us know if the motherboard is grounging on the case. If it works outside the case correctly you may need plastic standoffs.

I will definitely try that, why does it happen intermittently thoUgh? Only when I play a high demanding game it will crash, and the bsod happens so randomly, not when I'm doing anything in particular. I'm so bummed out I spent all this money, over 2k, and it dosent function correctly

Power fluctuations no matter how small becomes a big deal when your PC is pushed. This is why overclockers get motherboards with the best VRM's to give stable clean power.

Ok I will try this out. Nothing on my system is overclocked though by the way :/

MERGED QUESTION
Question from hawke3719 : "Bsod after cpu cooler install/new case"

My specs:
-Intel i7 7700k 4.2
-MSI Z270 PC Mate
-Nvidia GeForce gtx 1080
-2x8 GB DDR4 trident g skill ram 3200
-Evga 750w gq gold PSU
-Kraken x62 CPU cooler, upgraded from stock liquid cpu cooler
-Windows 10
-1TB HD
-250GB SSD (windows on this)
-2 corsair case fans 120/140mm with controller
-2 radiator fans (rad is 280mm) and pump

So here is my issue.

My old case had everything in it listed above except the new kraken cooler. Everything worked perfectly, no crashing, closing to desktop on games, or bsod whatsoever.

My new case and cooler comes in the mail, I swapped everything over to the new case and now I'm getting 3 different bsod and my games are closing/crashing to desktop. When the bsod's happen it goes to blue screen and forces a restart.

BSOD errors:
System service exception
System thread exception not handled
Page fault in non paged area


For now, excluding every other posssibility, just focusing on 2 things: moving parts to new case, and installing new liquid cpu, what could possibly be wrong.

I've checked event viewer for critical errors, there are kernelpower41 errors but those are from the bsod's making my pc "shutdown" improperly. My drivers were all up to date, I'm not overclocked, every component in this build is less than 2 months old.

Is my cpu cooler too tight? Would that even cause a bsod listed above?

As far as game crashing, could my GPU be not "in" all the way? Would that cause games to desktop?

I'm at a loss of words. Sucks 🙁

Also I forgot to add, the new cpu kraken cooler uses CAM software to control pump features as well as a monitoring software.

Anyone?
