Windows 10: BSOD Frustration

So I built my own PC. I have done this several times without issue and I built this one back in April and it has been running fine until about a month ago. I had a memory stick go bad, so I troubleshot it and found that issue and then replaced the memory stick a week or two later (ran with only 3 8 gig sticks instead of 4 for a week or two) and during that time the BSODs started. They calmed down after I added back in the 4th stick (same manufacturer and everything), but then started back up again. Restoring back to a restore point helped, but things got bad again after a week or two. So last night I decided that it must be because of the OS I installed, some special OS from Microsoft as part of my MSDN Subscription, so I formatted my hard drive and installed Window 10 PRO to resolve the issue and then spend the day reinstalling all my stuff. Ironically, tonight, I got another BSOD, so that lets me know it was not a OS issue, which I believed. During the bad times, my Chrome stopped working. Sometimes my start menu wouldn't work. It was super irritating. Here is my system information:
Computer name: DESKTOP-F89KSBU
Windows version: Windows 10 , 10.0, version 1903, build: 18362
Windows dir: C:\Windows
Hardware: ASRock, AB350 Pro4
CPU: AuthenticAMD AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Six-Core Processor AMD8664, level: 23
12 logical processors, active mask: 4095
RAM: 34288099328 bytes (31.9GB)

and I am attaching the zip upload from your BSOD reporting link. Any help you can give would be super appreciated.

Thanks ahead of time for the help.

OMG I am back after a day of total frustration

I believe you, it is ideed frustrating. Then again everything that involves calling support is frustrating. Is your problem solved by now or what will be the next steps?

 

Random BSOD while browsing internet


BitDefender is nothing special. mwac.sys causes BSODs anywhere.
A tiny documentation can be found here: Solved Random BSODs - Windows 10 Forums
In that very thread, the suggested action apparently worked.

The storage and network filters of any third party antivirus can cause BSODs. Neither MBAM nor BitDefender is any special. For a regular antivirus, it may be shifted to an alternative; but MBAM has no alternative. So a clean install of the said program is the most feasible first step.
As far as the first step is not failing, it is better to not think for the second step. Because the BSODs are not universal, failure at the first step is not universal; and success at the second step is also not universal.
That is why I posted that my suggestion may work, or may not. Let us see where it goes.

 

7 different BSoD

Hey guys,

I have a serious problem. I make it as short as possible:

• system runs 100 % fine with the 10.12
• updatet to Catalyst 11.1 -> BSoD
• updatet to 11.1 Hotfix -> BSoD
• rollback to 10.12 -> BSoD
• removed ALL AMD files manually, installed 10.12 -> BSoD

• Temps are fine
• no sfc /scannow errors
• no chkdsk errors
• Prime, Furmark all fine
• regardless what driver I install -> BSoD
• I did no hw changes, no OC

Here are my BSoDs I receive:

• 0x0000010e
• 0x1000007e
• 0x0000007e
• 0x0000004e
• 0x0000003b
• dxgmms1.sys
• PFN_LIST_CORRUPT

They all refer to the GPU of course ...

From now on I receive a BSoD every time I try to play a game (especially BC2 and SC II) even if I completely remove the old driver and make a clean install.
Apparently the 11.1 damaged my system irreparable.

Any advice or info would be very much appreciated *Smile
