Win 10 cu major issues

[drjyp01]

I7 2600k

Asus GTX1060 3GB
Samsung 850 evo 250gb
Corsair Rm750 psu

So, I have been having major issues with the creators update. This pc has run good for quite a while now, until I was prompted to install the creators update. Now, it freaks out and crashes every day. I have spent the last 2 weeks trying to figure out what's going on with no real success. First, I was getting an "out of memory" error after several hours of running. I tried every solution I have been able to find and now, the display driver has failed to start is the major problem I'm having. I have installed every driver I can find for all my hardware, and it doesn't fix anything. I've tried rolling back and eve a fresh install of the anniversary update. It forced the cu on me during installation, tho. I've tried process explorer and can't really nail down wtf is going on with this thing. I have rolled back Nvidia drivers, too, with no success. I have tried scanning for a virus, with no success. This pc hasn't run for 24 hours since cu without crashing. I'm open to ideas now. Any suggestions will be tried and appreciated.

out of memory error leads me to think its a memory leak, probably a driver

your motherboard doesn't use Killer lan so thats 1 obvious reason out of the way. Downside is you lack win 10 drivers, there are only 3 choices and one is the BIOS. - do you have latest bios?

You could try running poolmon - https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help/177415/how-to-use-memory-pool-monitor-poolmon.exe-to-troubleshoot-kernel-mode-memory-leaks as its likely it will show up in the non paged pool

you can run out of memory with plenty of ram left as its commitments that eat the page file that also play a part.

in process explorer, can you right click the header row and choose select columns..
in the Process Memory tab, add Paged Pool & Non Paged pool to the selected choices and click OK. you can drag the two columns across so they right next to Private Bytes ans Working set. Soirt the columns by Non paged

when you oom, is it ram or pagefile that runs out?

I have run poolmon and tried to find the culprit, but no dice. pool and cont are at the top of the list every time i check. pool seems to be bluetooth related and cont seems to be os related. i disabled and uninstalled all bluetooth drivers

I think you might get an answer over here as I haven't seen anyone go any more indepth than process explorer here and I don't know what else you could use apart from poolmon to find the driver but they might - https://www.tenforums.com/performance-maintenance/

When was the last time you did a fresh install of the OS itself? Upgrading from build to build is usually fine, but Windows 10 has seemingly more issues than most in terms of upgrading this way. Reccomend backing up whatever data you can (as everything will be wiped) and following this guide:
http://www.pcworld.com/article/3042481/windows/how-to-clean-install-windows-the-right-way.html

I've read online that issues like this boil down to permission issues, so doing a clean install of the OS itself should rectify that.

None the less, if it does work and I'm thinking it should, I'd recommend backing up your system after just to be sure. Use a disk imager (i.e. Macrium Reflect) or a snapshot tool (i.e. Rollback Rx).

Thanks. I'll see what they have to say.

it has been literally 2 days since the last fresh install. I tried to go to anniversary, but it updated to cu during install.

Fresh install of what? OS? Updates? Drivers? If you simply just installed only the update then yeah it's not going to work, you'll need to do a full re-installation of the OS.

everything. I re-installed win 10 fresh. then re-installed drivers and everything.
