Hello,
I've recently run into some trouble when doing a fresh install of Windows 10, where during the installation, a BSOD would appear. The BSOD error varies, here is a list of the ones that I have recorded:
PFN_LIST_CORRUPT,
System__ervice Exception,
System_Thread_exception_not_handled,
Kernel security check failure,
irql_not_less_or_equal,
Memory management
The Windows 10 installation on this drive was working perfectly before I attempted a fresh install (I usually do a fresh install every few months). I also had another SSD running Mac OSX that was running perfectly
(Note I have been attempting to install Win10 on this drive for several days, meanwhilst I have been using the Mac OSX drive on the same machine).
From the multitude of errors above, I surmised that the problem would be hardware related, most likely RAM or driver issue;
Here is what I have done to attempt to resolve the issue:
1. Unplugged the SSD with Mac OSX.
2. Reset BIOS Settings to default.
3. Flashed BIOS to the latest version.
3. Reverted all CPU and DRAM overclocking to factory settings.
4. Attempted installation with only one RAM Module (Using a different slot each attempt, then repeating this with the other module).
5. Attempted to use an older GPU.
6. Reformatted the target Windows drive with DISKPART (in case the SSD was the problem).
7. Reformatted the SSD with OSX on it, and attempt to install onto it.
8. Currently Running Memtest86, however, after 6 passes, there are no errors (will wait until 8 before aborting).
None of these produced a different outcome - BSOD during the "Preparing files for installation" phase between 8 - 15%.
My Machine Specs are:
MOBO: Asus z170-A
CPU: i7 6700k @ 4 GHZ
RAM: 2x DDR4 G-Skill Ripjaws V @2400 MHZ
GPU: NVidia 980ti
SSD: 2x Samsung 850
I am attempting the install from a SanDisk Cruzer 64GB USB - I have tried multiple different ISOs and several different ways of writing to the USB.
Realistically the only parts that I have not changed/tested are the CPU and the MOBO, however as I said before, I was using the OSX drive for 2 days with no issues at all until I attempted to install onto that drive.
This thread seems to be very similar: Link
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks
