Windows 10: Extremely frustrated, multiple BSODs while idle, and have replaced half my components

Hi everyone,


I have posted about this several times but still cannot find a solution. Here is my setup:


CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor

CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock TF 67.8 CFM Fluid Dynamic Bearing CPU Cooler

Motherboard: MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI ATX AM4 Motherboard

Memory: G.Skill Trident Z RGB 32 GB 2 x 16 GB DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory

Storage: ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 2 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive

Video Card: EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 24 GB FTW3 ULTRA GAMING Video Card

Case: Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic ATX Full Tower Case

Power Supply: Corsair RMx White 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply


I am getting daily, consistent BSOD errors when the PC is at low use or idle, and I am not getting them when under load. The errors vary, but the most common is IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. Here are the things I've tried:

• Fresh install.
• Replaced RAM with same model.
• Replaced PSU with with EVGA 850GQ.
• Tested both PSUs with power supply tester, and both passed.
• Replaced motherboard with same model.

In a few weeks, I should have a new CPU AMD 5900x, but in the meantime I am completely frustrated. The only things I have left to replace are the GPU and NVME drive. This weekend, I am planning to swap in an old video card to see if that helps, but in the meantime I am really hoping I can get some input. Here are my latest minidump files:

Any help would be appreciated! This is my first "high end" build and it's been completely frustrating! I am within the warranty on everything, but as you can see I want to avoid swapping anything else out when I'm not sure what the issue is.

Extremely high idle memory usage

Here is your first step:

You wrote: "... my pc idling at 80 - 90% memory ..."

1- Open Task Manager to the Processes tab and look at the Memory column.

2- What process(es) are using so much of your memory?

 

HP laptop - multiple BSODs

I have an HP Pavilion 15-cs0021na, (Intel i3, 8GB, 128GB SSD) running Windows 10 Home, which exhibits the following characteristics:

• On startup, occasionally completes boot, but within 5 minutes, BSODs. with a random error, e.g. Page Fault, IRQL not equal, Memory Management and so on.
• Repeated attempts to reboot then fail with more random BSODs
• Rarely, it will attempt a Startup Repair – which will invariably fail with another BSOD.
• Wiping the hard disk and attempting to install a clean version of the OS (downloaded from Microsoft using Media Creation Tool to USB stick) will get a little way into the process, then fail with BSOD as above.

What I’ve done:

• Attempted clean install as above.
• Run multiple hardware tests on Memory and SSD - HP’s built-in tests, Memtest86, Seagate disk tools. All tests pass with no errors.
• Updated BIOS from Insyde F.04 to F.22 (HP supplied).
• Repeated clean install, same result.

I have now run out of ideas, and am at a loss to understand what is causing these errors. How are BSODs generated if no Windows installation is present? Is it likely that a hardware component other than RAM or the SSD is causing these?

Any and all suggestions will be much appreciated.
