Windows 10 BSOD

[chris_mol2000]

Had my build for a few momths and started recently getting bsod whilst playing PUBG, all drivers are up to date and thought i had it narrowed down to a problem with my Mobo but I’ve bought a new one and the bsod persists and wont even lete install windows.
Tried each Ram stick , removed the GPU but still it happens.
Could it be my PSU?

Mobo comes to mind naturally but if this is still happening when you got a new one I guess she's innocent. You remember particular code of the bsod? It might help to actually identify the culprit, specially if you've seen it multiple tries.
Are you installing from a cd/dvd? Did you run memtest on each of your sticks for at least an hour or two? Only time ever I had bsod dduring windows install was either caused by ram fail or media on which I had windows files was damaged.

Irql not less or equal was the code.

Installing from usb, windows media creation tool

90 % sure this is one or all ram stick gone bad then, other 10 % is 50/50 windows install on your usb or hdd/sdd you are installing windows to. Get yourself bootable memtest on usb, details and downloads are all on their site:

Pull out all ram stick from motherboard, plug in one and run memtest for hour or two. I know it's long but it's the best way to see if rams ok or no. If you get no errors after that put away that OK stick so you won't mistake it with others and try the other. Report how'd it go.

P.S as soon as you start seeing errors you can stop the test and mark stick as dead, don't have to go entire 1-2 hour cycle.

If you sons motherboard is compatible with your ram stick you can do it on his pc.

 

[chris_mol2000]

Yeah it is

So i tried my sons ram in my machine and when i insert the usb with the windows media creation on i now get k mode exception not handled as the error.

 

[piechockidocent9]

Hold on a sec I did not expect that aproach heh, so I assume running memtest showed no errors on either of you ram sticks? Could you give me your and yourson motherboard, and ram model?

Think i might have narrowed it down to the cpu, as my sons i5 7400 works fine in my rig and allows me to start the install of windows. When i put my i7-7700 in his machine it gives me a bsod more or less straight away

 

[piechockidocent9]

Well hell, guess I'd be headless now since I never'd have bet on the cpu. Another cause to add into consideration for future, have your son suffer a bit more and maybe run a fast stress test after the install to confirm. Also you put your cpu into your son mobo? Does his rig spits bsods same as yours did with ur cpu in?

 

[chris_mol2000]

His rig just went into a loop of bsod so i took my cpu out. Hopefully not done any damage to his as it was a present from Santa

 

[piechockidocent9]

Don't worry it should be back to it's former self as soon as it has it's cpu back. Normaly It would be a drag buyin' new cpu but if your rig is only few months at least you can call on warranty. Sorry I wasn't much help this time, live long and bsod'less

 

[chris_mol2000]

Unfortunately I bought an OEM from ebay so I doubt im covered by warranty, ive bought a new one from a more reputable company this time though
