Question PC BSODs or resets constantly ?

[Kurgan2]

MY PC has been having a lot of trouble lately. It started with the occasional BSOD, but is now almost unusable. Sometimes it also just resets without warning. I'm hoping I can get some advice.

Ok, specs:

• CPU: Intel® Core™ Processor i9-14900KF 8P/16 + 16E 3.20GHz [Turbo 6.0GHz] 36MB Cache LGA1700 [w/o Integrated Graphic]
• MOTHERBOARD: MSI PRO Z790-P WIFI DDR5 ATX w/ Wi-Fi 6E, 2.5GbT LAN, (3)PCIe x16,(1)PCIe x1, (4)M.2, (6)SATA
• POWERSUPPLY: 1200 Watts - Corsair RM1200x SHIFT 80 PLUS Gold ATX 3.0 Fully Modular w/ PCIE 12+4Pins Connector for PCIe 5.0 graphics cards
• HDD: 4TB Kingston SNV2S/4000G SSD (PCIe Gen4) NVMe M.2 SSD - Seq R/W: Up to 3,500/2,800 MB/s (Dual Drive (4TB x 2 (8TB Capacity))
• HDD2: 8TB Seagate IronWolf Pro SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 256MB Cache 7200RPM HDD (8TB x 2 (16TB Capacity) RAID 0 Super Performance
• FAN: CyberpowerPC MasterLiquid Lite 360mm ARGB CPU Liquid Cooler with Dual Chamber Pump & Copper Cold Plate (3 x Standard 120MM Fans)
• MEMORY: 64GB (32GBx2) DDR5/6000MHz Dual Channel Memory (Performance Memory by Major Brands)
• VIDEO: ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX™ 4090 OC Edition 24GB GDDR6X Gaming Video Card (DLSS 3.0) [AI-Powered Graphics]

I don't have access to the logs on the system since I can't keep it running at this point, but I can list the BSODs I've seen it give me.

Kernel Security Check Failure
Paged Fault in Nonpaged Area
Kmode Exception Not Handled
Hypervisor Error
System Service errors for cl.dll, fltmgr.sys and ntfs.sys
Critical Process Died

I've run Memtest86 off a bootable USB drive, no memory errors. Crystal Disk reports all drives as good. CPU temp when running would hit 99C but not over that.
I'd really like to figure this out, as this was my midlife crisis purchase instead of a sports car 😉 I can't afford another system with that monster of a video card, I really need to figure out where the problem lies so I can hopefully fix this one. I think it's hardware related, because it would BSOD just as much sitting at the desktop doing nothing as it would during games.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can weigh in on this.

You know . . . that's a lot of storage running on this system so I'm glad you chose a 1200 Watt PSU as power always comes into mind when it comes to these rigs which is why I have a 1300 Watt running my dual GPUs. With that said 99* C is a high temp so I'd suggest checking that out as I don't go any higher than 80 on mah 12900K & I'm also liquid cooled. Why so much storage too??

 

[Kurgan2]

Yeah, between the card and the drives, I wanted to make sure I had plenty of power. As for storage, I mess with a lot of games and mods and just figured I'd get a system that would carry me for years. Which it would, if it hadn't gone belly up.

Hi just a suggestion maybe try resetting the CMOS first then try running the PC at default settings and see if it still give issues and BSOD's. You can tweak your system for high performance later once you find the cause of the many crashes. If the system is stable running on default settings, download and run HWINFO and have it always on top to display the PC temps and statistics while you test your games and apps. Your system is high end I hope you will find the culprit affecting your PC. If it still is not giving you joy, there are people here who are very knowledgeable with High End Intel Gaming PC's like your's and they understand the BSOD's you are having. They can help you resolve your issues. I have worked on mostly AMD Home and Gaming PC's and Intel based Server Systems over the years. I wish you success so you can enjoy your PC once again.
