[SOLVED] What's causing my new build to crash constantly ?

Hi there,

I build my first gaming computer late January this years. System specs are:

OS Windows 10 Pro
CPU Ryzen 5600x
GPU MSI RX 6800 XT Gaming Trio
MOBO MSI X570 Tomahawk WIFI
NZXT Kraken X63
G.Skill Trident Z NEO 32GB
SSD WD SN850 1TB
PSU Corsair RMx 850

The putting it together was the easy part, compared to what I am dealing with now. It booted up fine, installed windows, all of the drivers etc. no problem. I can play the games I want to and the parts seem to be worth their money. For some reason it just keeps crashing every couple of days. Most of the times it is whilst playing, but it happened whilst surfing a couple of times too. The reliability monitor shows "windows shut down unexpectedly". Some times the technical details show the good old "BSOD 10xE video memory management internal" error and other times it does not give me any other information. I did everything I could to fix it. Uninstalled drivers, reinstalled drivers, updated drivers, updated BIOS, updating windows regularly etc. I did run every test I could possible find (memtest86, AIDA64, cmdscannow, Heaven Benchmark), nothing is showing up. I constantly monitor the temperatures, GPU and CPU not even reaching 60C whilst gaming. I swapped the RAM Sticks. I changed the power management settings and disabled the fast startup option. I even paid for Restoro and use it daily, but it did not fix it. Sometimes I can play for 2-4 days with no problem, but then it just freezes, shuts down and restarts again.

I changed the advanced settings to create full dmp. files when a system crash like this occurs. I encrypted todays file with WinDbg, just unable to understand it, but I am going to put it underneath.

Sorry for the long thread, but I dont know what to do. I really hope it is not a hardware related issue, but could very well be one. Appreciate any help I can get.

I've had a 2x8GB kit run without errors for 19 hours, but crashed repeatedly after 10 minutes on F@H. Sussed out the 1 faulty stick....error at 21 hours.

You could try other tests like OCCT, etc.

Test a single stick at a time. The larger the stick capacity, the longer it will take to fully test the stick.
Sounds like a faulty stick of RAM

Is it a 2x16GB kit of RAM?

What does "i swapped the RAM sticks" mean? "swapped" as in moved various existing sticks to different slots in the mobo, or "replaced" the whole kit with a new one.

How long did you run MemTest for?

Yes it is. I moved the existing sticks to different slots. I did run the memtest for over 4hrs, till it was completed. Passed 100% no errors. Used the inbuild windows test for the RAM too, no errors.

Hello, as a fellow 5000series AMD user (5800x) and a x570 tomahawk I can say I'm having issues too.

although I'm now going down the path of issues with my 3080 ( think) - see my post Here,

when I first built my rig I was running the BIOS on the latest version 1.5 I believe, I downgraded/ backdated back to 1.4 version (as thats what my brother was running on without issue)

Since then had no issues with the crashes I had before (just the new one in the link above)- sudden kernel power 41, PC just restarted itself like it got a power cut and recovered.

might be worth giving it a try.

good luck!
