Question Windows 11 keeps BSOD after installing and opening Minecraft mods + after reinstalling W11 twice w/ Microsoft support + new SSD

[Fry3red]

After installing and opening Minecraft mods from Curseforge (application not the browser), my pc kept blue screening. Even after going to Microsoft Support twice, both told me to wipe and reinstall W11, and getting a new M.2 ssd to install W11 on.
However the problem keeps persisting, even after the installs and the new M.2 SSD.

I've had this PC a month before this happened and no issues before this all started.

Note: Also between replacing an ssd, i did also switch my old GPU with a new one.

BSOD Codes:
System service exception
Bad pool caller
Kmode exception not handled
IRQL not less or equal
Fltmgr

SPEC:
CPU I7 13700K
NZXT Kraken Z53
Asus Prime Z790-P
G.Skill Trident Z neo 64 GB (2x 32GB)

(Old SSD) Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB
(New SSD) WD Black SN850X 2TB

Seagate Barracuda 6TB 3.5'' (only used to install games on)

(Old GPU) Sapphire Radeon 580
(New GPU) MSI Geforce RTX 4070

(I know this is way overpowered for modded Minecraft, but I was planning on playing God Of War or any of the recent Resident Evil games)

Hey there,

Run memtest86+ on the memory outside of windows.

What bios are you running? Having the latest version will ensure best compatibility.

Update:

Both RAM passed the memtest,

i got the BIOS version wrong. It's ver. 1002 not 2404.

Upload the mindumps. You'll find them in C:\Windows\Minidump. Zip them up (using the Windows compression tool) and upload them here.

unfortunately i cant get into windows, i wiped the ssd drive from the windows install because even during the install it would blue screen. Unless i can it access it from the BIOS, i don't have the minidumps.

I managed to install windows, at first it was fine but then it blue screened it again. BUT i got 2 Minidumps.

I'd prob go ahead and update to 1205. Be sure to follow the instructions to install the Intel ME update first.

The bios may fix this issue.. After bios update ensure to clear CMOS too.

I've looked at the two minidumps and nothing obvious stands out in them, there certainly isn't a common third-party driver involved. I think it wise to wait until you've done the BIOS update advised above, if it still BSODs after that I'll make a couple of suggestions.

I just got off of work, but i remembered something. When i finished the built I didnt install Intel ME update at all before updating the BIOS. I think i might have to reset the BIOS completely and then do it the right way. Im not sure if thats causing the issue, considering im not super tech savvy. But is it a good idea to reset it or is there a better way to roll back a BIOS update?

Yes, try the bios update. This could be the issue.

According to some users on Reddit, this issue can be caused by antivirus software. You can try selecting the correct version of Java by updating the Minecraft launcher or updating your BIOS.

Ive done a lotta things since the last time responded.

I updated the bios and cleared the CMOS, still blue screen.

My pc has been to repairstore but the only thing they concluded is that it could be the motherboard being faulty or the graphics card (or that i accidentally have caused the cpu short circuit.)

I send the motherboard back to store where i bought it from for repairs, they said the motherboard had no issues when testing it and they also updated the bios. (However when i got it back, i couldnt install windows 11 anymore. doing every test in W10 now)
In the beginning it was fine but after running for a few hours and updating W10 + drivers. It started blue screening again.
I still get bluescreened even when im just starting up the PC.

I put a different cpu (12th gen instead 13) to test if it was the cpu causing the issues but then i get met with a black screen. So im stuck and I dont know what to do, because i did everything that was listed to fix it, but still no progress. : (
