Windows 10: Constant BSODs caused by ntoskrnl.exe

So I got to build a new pc. It al went well until I suddenly started to get some BSODs. I searched online and got to the conclusion that it was something wrong with the drivers, so I went and updated them all manually, but that didn't solve the problem. I then ran chkdsk /f /r with the Windows 10 installing drive, and the results said everything was fine. At that point I decided to make a clean install of Windows 10 again to see If it would solve the problem. After I installed it, I updated the drivers again, and a few days later, I started to get the BSODs again. Then, I went and downloaded BlueScreenView to see what was causing the problem, and in every single BSOD there was this ntoskrnl.exe marked as the cause (there usually was another file that was blamed during the actual BSOD, like volsnap.sys, tcpip.sys, etc.)
It usually just resets and get no other BSOD until I turn it off and turn it on manually.

With basically no other option, I come here to you guys to see if I can get some help. Also, my RAM is actually two kits of 2x8GB, so I have 32GB. Is there any way that having two kits of the same RAM causing these problems?

Caused by Driver: ntoskrnl.exe

Caused by Address: ntoskrnl.exe+146440

Above is from my dump file using BlueScreenView. Not sure what driver is causing the BSOD, how can I determine the driver?

There are many different bugchecks in the dumpfiles.

The cause for different error codes are usually hardware and lower level problems.

U should begin with:





Diagnostic Test

RAM TEST


Run MemTest86+ - Test RAM - Windows 10 Forums







Note MemTest86+ V5.01 needs to be run for at least 8 complete passes for conclusive results. Set it running before you go to bed and leave it overnight. We're looking for zero errors here. Even a single error will indicate RAM failure.

More Info here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...f-ecc7b7ff6461


Make a photo of the result and post it.

 

Please test only two RAM sticks at once (2x 8 GB). When 8 passes are done test the other two RAM modules

 

Ok, I ran it today in the morning with all the sticks for 4 hours (the non-UEFI version), then shut it down with no errors, gonna run it overnight today.

 

Its important to run it 8 passes long in one piece without interruption. With 32 GB RAM (four modules) it could take up to 100 hours. Running it over night will not be enough my friend *Smile

Thats why I wrote u should test only 2 sticks at once. You should plan two days for it.


If you are asked to run MemTest86+ by a Ten Forums member make sure you run the full 8 passes for conclusive results. If you run less than 8 passes you will be asked to run it again.

 

Ok so here is the 8 passes on the first 2x8gb kit. Couldn't run the 8 passes in a single run because there was a storm after the first 3, so i did the other 5 later. I'm running the test on the other kit, with 5 passes as of posting this.

 

Wrong Version of Memtest. Please run V5.01.

 

Are the versions of memtest really that different? It's just so much time to run it again on both of the kits :/

 

If you use software to test hardware you will want the most up to date software.
In addition the method of testing is important.
For memory testing it has been found that the results can be misleading if improper testing is performed.
For example if less than 8 passes are performed there is a high incidence of false negatives.
A false negative is getting a test result of pass and finding later that the RAM was malfunctioning.
So in order to reduce the false negatives a minimum of 8 passes is required and the more passes the better.

Well, here is the 8 passes on one of the kits (with the correct version of memtest now xD).

 

The memtest 6+ displays 16 GB
Is it possible to test the othe 16GB?
Approximately how long did it take to complete the 16 GB testing?

The computer manufacturer's web site is preferred. Enter the computer's serial or product number and the operating system to view available drivers.


If you use the Nvidia web site be sure the "clean install" box is checked and only install the graphics driver and the physx driver.

Yes, I am testing the other 16G kit, I just did it separately because it would take forever to test 4x8G 8 times xD.
About the display driver, I just did it, and checked the "clean install" box, so that should be fine now.

 

Here is the 8 passes from the test on the other 2x8G kit
