Specs:
OS: Windows 10 64x bit
APU: Ryzen 3 3200g with Radeon Vega 8
Motherboard: ASRock B450M Pro
RAM: 16 GB
SSD: Kingston A400 240G
PSU: SeaSonic S12III 550V

So I downloaded the drivers from AMD: https://www.amd.com/en/support/apu/...processors-radeon-vega-graphics/amd-ryzen-3-1 , then i went on to download some drivers from ASRock's website.

But when i tried to play some games, but I kept getting the BSOD: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED, so i installed WhoCrashed and went to see what was wrong. Can anyone help me with this?

WhoCrashed reports:

crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\022620-4218-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: dxgmms2.sys (0xFFFFF8021DB2A4D2)
Bugcheck code: 0xD1 (0x10384, 0x2, 0x0, 0xFFFFF8021DB2A4D2)

Bug check description: This indicates that a kernel-mode driver attempted to access pageable memory at a process IRQL that was too high.
This bug check belongs to the crash dump test that you have performed with WhoCrashed or other software. It means that a crash dump file was properly written out.
The crash took place in a Microsoft module. Your system configuration may be incorrect. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver on your system that cannot be identified at this time.

This was probably caused by the following module: atikmdag.sys (atikmdag+0xBC54C)

A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: atikmdag.sys (ATI Radeon Kernel Mode Driver, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.).

Found the problem, when i took one of the Ramsticks out everything worked fine. So the one i took out probably is defect or has some issues.
