When installing windows 10 i get a BSOD error driver overran stack buffer

[chibee1]

When installing windows 10 i get a BSOD error driver overran stack buffer, i recently had a few problems with my pc with included application crashing so i reset my pc then it started getting BSOD which i read can be from resetting, so i reset to factory new settings and it crashed while reinstalling windows 10, windows has encountered problem and could not complete the installation.. in a loop so i got a bootable usb and used that and when i got to the customisation or quick installation it crashed to driver overran stack buffer BSOD now idek what to do here are my specs:
i5 6600k
Sapphire Nitro RX480 8GB
Corsair 8GB RAM
500W PSU
Asus Z170 Pro

I had to read thread again but I hope its just one of those two. You have a new hdd so its not it. amd the errors don't seem to be CPU related so it should fix it. It might have been motherboard all along as it shouldn't have had problems with the flash process like it did.

Ok, i've returned my PSU just in case as well, and im gonna buy a better one which is better certified, also thanks for you help in all this, appreciated

Hi Again sorry it's been a while I've finally replaced the Mobo hard drive and power supply however I'm still having some problems mainly irql not less or equal I believe that's the only BSOD I'm getting ATM got any ideas on how I can fix it

 

[Colif]

are bsod during install or after? Did you fresh install on the new hardware?

if after, Can you download and run who crashed - it will give us a glimpse of the errors you getting and might help us solve them

Copy/paste summary in here and I see what I can do

ive installed windows on the new hardware via a usb stick and it worked for a bit then i had a BSOD of critial processed died, however its seemed to go away and now im only getting the IRQL one, and i cant update drivers as it will crash randomly ill see if i can download who crashed and paste the stuff onto here but it may take a few tried as it BSOD randomly.

also when it restarts it will say an error saying "radeosettings.exe cant find entry point" something like that

radeonsettings.exe is part of AMD drivers

see if this helps
run command prompt (admin)
type sfc /scannow and press enter

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/exe-entry-point-not-found/5b0866c1-8e45-457e-a83c-651c1fd307cc

not being able to update drivers probably accounts for the irq error as its a driver error. knowing what it is might help us fix it and everything else.

At least its not the error that started this off. At least you can get windows onto PC.

im just wondering would my PC constantly being restarted cause damage and if I reinstalled Windows not using a USB stick would this help

is it freezing and restarting or just shutdown/restart? 2nd shouldn't effect anything as its normal, the other might effect the hdd over time, but you have new hard drive so it should be okay

If need be, i think you can install whocrashed in safe mode and if the problems are only drivers, it should run without crashing in safe mode. Try updating the drivers in safe mode as well. Download them onto USB if need be on another PC and load them off USB

from desktop, go to settings/update & security/recovery - advanced start up, click restart now button
this loads advanced start up
choose troubleshoot
choose advanced
choose start up options
hit the restart button
choose a safe mode (it doesn't matter which) by using number associated with it.
PC will restart and load safe mode

I don't think the installation media type will make any difference - so USB would be same as DVD.

I had hoped you would be fixed by now

my pc shows the BSOD and then restarts back to the sign in screen

have you got latest BIOS on motherboard? (suddenly remembers what happened last time... maybe we not update that yet)
Did you try SFC?

its blaming windows which is surprisingly normal
ntoskrnl = new technology operating system kernel- one of its jobs is handle driver requests so if a request asks it to do something wrong, it gets the blame.
ntdll.sys = new technology dynamic link library (just guessing there)

i don't think cause is showing itself so we can force it out

try running driver verifer, just read the instructions carefully. It is part of win 10 designed to find misbehaving drivers. It will cause BSOD, that is its job since it tests drivers.

Once it bsod, run Who crashed and see what driver it reveals

Note: I have noticed it can cause a boot loop so keep your installer handy so you can boot into command prompt and run the reset command

If it reveals nothing, and I am wondering what drivers are there if it crashes when you install any drivers... I noticed we never checked the ram? did you replace that as well?

.yes i replaced my ram, hdd and mobo
.i tried sfc /scannow many times it doesnt seem to fix anything
.and you said it can cause boot up loop by installer do u mean the usb stick? and also whats the reset command or should i just search it on the internet
.also could a weird usb stick cause corruption to windows and could it be the cpu or gpu as i didnt replace those which i can i think
.also should i take my gpu and see if its still crashes
.the redeosetting.exe cant find entry point what does that mean? its still happening

 

[Colif]

seems i am confused, ntdll.dll is a windows file, ntdll.sys might be part of Macafee maybe? I can't find a lot on that file name

look, to stop guessing you might be best looking at the posting instructions at top of this page and asking there as normally I would ask for dump files but the program people use to read them isn't working with latest build of windows 10 - https://www.tenforums.com/bsod-crashes-debugging/

See if upgrading drivers via safe mode helps at all.

 

[Colif]

installer - yes, Win 10 USB stick
reset command is mentioned in the link above to driver verifer but its:

boot from installer, on 2nd screen after languages, choose repair this PC, not install
choose troubleshoot
choose advanced
go into command prompt
type verfier /reset

see what tenforums find. who crashed isn't showing enough info.

the radeonsetting thing should be fixed by sfc. that was why i suggested running it. I think tenforums might be able to work out. The errors most likely caused by not having the right drivers, I don't think it is a hardware problem.

it says on the verifer thing that i should select all drivers that are not apart of microsoft but the who crashed things where blamed on microsoft so what do i do?

 

[Colif]

do as verifer says, the problem is unlikely to be a windows program and its not going to be ntoskrnl. windows doesn't work without ntsokrnl, its the brains, it handles driver requests, memory management, and lots of other things I don't know about. those are the main two areas it is seen in BSOD.

On Thu 11/05/2017 12:03:46 your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\051117-22875-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: Unknown ()
Bugcheck code: 0x0 (0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0)
Error: CUSTOM_ERROR
A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error.
Google query: CUSTOM_ERROR



On Thu 11/05/2017 12:02:45 your computer crashed

This was probably caused by the following module: ntkrnlmp.exe (nt!KeBugCheckEx+0x0)
Bugcheck code: 0xA (0xB1557B4A, 0x2, 0x1, 0xFFFFF800718FBA97)
Error: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Bug check description: This indicates that Microsoft Windows or a kernel-mode driver accessed paged memory at DISPATCH_LEVEL or above.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.

i hate custom errors. i also don't know how they happen but since it happened 1 second after the irq error I can only assume its an error on the part of whocrashed
ntkmimp is also part of the windows kernel, its on the same wiki page as ntoskrnl

its not getting us any closer to fixing it. Did you try tenforums as they have other tools over there that i don't. I normally rely on who crashed, driver verifer and the next bit to find the cause but none of those are getting us anywhere.

My last option is ask you to create minidumps and I will see if I can get someone to look at them and hopefully they aren't corrupted as that is what has been showing on other peoples dump files

Can you follow option one here: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/5560-bsod-minidump-configure-create-windows-10-a.html
and then do this step below: Small memory dumps - Have Windows Create a Small Memory Dump (Minidump) on BSOD

that creates a file in c/windows/minidump
copy that file to documents
upload the copy from documents to a cloud server and share the link here and someone with right software to read them will help you fix it

you can download the debugger yourself and have a try - https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/download-windbg

im going to take a break now, but idk if this helps but i crash when on microsoft edge or chrome it will say irql and on the sign in screen when im typing my password it will say critical process died.

 

[Colif]

Sure, break away. I had hoped the problems were fixed with a replacement motherboard...

what new parts did you get btw? same model motherboard?

Maybe irq errors using browsers could mean lan drivers. I would download those off motherboard makers web site and install them while not attached to internet as that could cause errors - last time i tried to upgrade lan drivers my AV thought it was an attack and created all sorts of fun

I replaced the mobo, psu, ram, and storage, everything was is the same apart from HHD which is now a hybrid and the psu which is now a G2 supernova 650w gold 80+
im not really sure how to download mobo drivers properly as the folders have many things and some of them dont work and have errors when im in setup
i also managed to download steam however it just crashes and google chrome keeps saying "opps something went wrong"

 

[Colif]

First step is get lan driver, there is only 1 choice in the lan folder - https://www.asus.com/au/Motherboards/Z170-PRO/HelpDesk_Download/

in most folders, you just want the latest one of each. If you do the next step you might be able to ignore them all

with an Asus board you should be able to download AI Suite ( Version 1.01.30&3.02.02&2.01.34) from the utilities folder and then run it. Don't set up anything called 5 way optimization as it might want to overclock CPU. We don't want that, we just want to use EZY update in its tools section, as that should check the Asus site for your motherboard and suggest the best drivers for your board.

windows 10 should have got drivers for your board anyway, so odd you having these problems.

I dont really know but i played games for around 2 hours and it was fine and i came back from doing other things and i got the errors again

also ive been looking around and people say it could be cpu voltage but also does updating drivers mean going to device manager and right click updating them?? using search automatically for updates?

 

[Colif]

Most driver updates are run like installing a program, the zip file will likely include a program called setup.exe that you run which will install the drivers. If you use AI Suite I think it installs them for you - I am not sure as the version I have for my PC doesn't include the updating process

this is one thing we could never do on previous PC as it wouldn't even let you install windows - try running Intel processor diagnostic tool on CPU, it is one of the few parts that has survived the entire process without being tested.

You basically have a new PC now, yet you can't even install drivers. That is all kinds of wrong.

i believe ive installed the graphics drivers and some of the mobo drivers as some wont run when i click setup or have some sort of error, i will try the cpu test, it could be the cpu or gpu as thats the last 2 things that remain un tested

Ok, done the cpu test passed everything and passed overall.

i believe i only get irql BSOD after i get a critical process died and i read irql not less or equal may mean pc not started up properly or shutdown weird??

Did you try this? I am running out of choices and getting another opinion might help, you could link to this thread these as well.

I want to fix this for you but I don't know why its doing this. You have checked everything or replaced it
