Windows 10: Constant BSODs after new PC build, Windows 10

Hi everyone.


Decided to give building a PC a try. After putting together a compatible parts list on PCPartPicker and assembling all of the hardware, my new rig worked beautifully for day 1. Day 2 I started to get random BSODs, including -


IQRL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

DRIVER_IQRL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

KERNEL_AUTOBOOST_INVALID_LOCK_RELEASE

SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION

KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE


and others.


These BSODs have not frequently referenced particular drivers or files, but during my most recent install one BSOD did reference "amdppm.sys"


All parts are new with two exceptions - a used Nvidia GTX 750, and a used SSD.


I've tried the following several times, and each time I run into the same issues:


1. Manual driver update for all drivers. BIOS is also updated.

2. Windows Memory Diagnostic tool no issues found

3. Command Prompt > sfc /scannow found corrupt files which were able to be fixed and DISM commands no issues

4. Windows update. Downloaded and installed all updates.

5. Driver Verifier*


*I've performed a clean install of windows 10 from 2 different boot media downloads 3 times to see if starting fresh would help. Install 1 & 3 Driver Verifier returned no issues. Install 2 it returned a BSOD referencing "amd xata.sys."


I've triggered 4 BSODs since my last fresh install just a few hours ago, all while performing random, low-demand tasks. Minidump files for these events can be found at: https://www.dropbox.com/s/igu21vjqq1riyrl/Minidump_StephenCarlock.7z?dl=0


If any more info is needed I'm happy to share it. Any assistance is appreciated. I feel like I'm at the end of my rope here.

Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
