Windows 10: Getting BSOD randomly, ntoskrnl.exe, different errors

Greetings,

I have had this issue since the day I built this computer a year ago. I get BSOD at random times (minutes, hours or days apart) doing random things (idling, browsing, playing games). BSODs show different errors, among them are KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and more. They all say that the error was caused by an undetermined driver or sometimes a more specific program, but always a different one. ntoskrnl.exe module is mentioned every time though.

This is so random that I can't figure it out.

I have tested RAM with different tools (memtest etc.) for 10hrs+, stress tested CPU, and changed motherboard and SSD. Test gave no results and changing those two components made no difference. Uninstalling programs and trying a different OS didn't help.

The only weird thing was when I changed the PSU. The original one is Corsair CX430M. I have no obvious issues with it and I don't believe it's to weak for my build (shown below) since I've been getting BSODs even when I was running the system without a dedicated graphics card for 3 months. But when I tried and older 300W PSU the system kept restarting (no BSODs). I don't believe PSU is connected to my BSODs.

BSODs appear to happen most frequently, when I'm playing video games or when I'm installing something. It doesn't always happen, but I almost expect it every time I install something big like a video game, or play it. Again, I tried a HDD instead of SSD but had the same results.

Also, on ubuntu, I don't get BSODs, obviously, but the system freezes every so often. Maybe the same failure that causes a BSOD in Windows causes these freezes.

I would appreciate any help!

System specs:
- Asus B150M Pro Gaming
- Intel Core i3-6100
- Corsair CX430M 430 Watt
- Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4 2133 2x8GB
- Geforce GTX 750 Ti 2GB

Hey!

This kind of error literally only happens when playing Overwatch. I randomly get a BSOD and it's always the same error message. It's caused by a particular address in my ntoskrnl.exe.

Driver View, System Information, Speccy, and Dmp files are all accessed through:

https://1drv.ms/f/s!Ao6GgC-crHzNhR2_6w1SX7OvoiLr

I'm running Windows 10 and I've made sure my drivers are as up to date as they get; I've also run the System File Checker and Memtest, and both come back with no errors.

 

keep getting BSOD when playing CSGO with skype running in the background.

Original title: BSOD confusion

I keep getting BSOD when playing CSGO with skype running in the background. After numerous runs of driver verifier it has left me confused, each mini dump says it is a different driver however blue screen viewer says its ntoskrnl.exe everytime (ive read
about this being a memory error however i ran memtestfor close to 22 hours and no errors occured.

 

Hi,

your Mainboard doesnt match with the logfiles. U wrote u have an Asus B150M Pro Gaming.

Logfiles show this:

Code: SYSTEM_MANUFACTURER: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. SYSTEM_PRODUCT_NAME: H110M-S2H BASEBOARD_MANUFACTURER: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. BASEBOARD_PRODUCT: H110M-S2H-CF System Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. System Model: H110M-S2H[/quote]

 

Hi vashayatrah,

This is updated after our recent chat about about the motherboard.

There was 2 bsod mini dump file and when it was debugged it indicated 1 misbehaving driver.
The driver was rt640x64.sys (Realtek RT640 NT driver)

1) open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste:
2) sfc /scannow
3) dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
4) chkdsk /scan
5) When these have completed > right click on the top bar or title bar of the administrative command prompt box > left click on edit then select all > right click on the top bar again > left click on edit then copy > paste into the thread
6) Make sure that there is no over clocking while troubleshooting.Sometimes there are problems in the bios that produce bsod.
7) To ensure that there are no improper bios settings please reset the bios.
Sometimes there can be failure to boot after resetting the bios.

8) So please make sure your files are backed up.

9) Please make a backup image with Macrium:

10) And please create a restore point.How to Clear Your Computers CMOS to Reset BIOS Settings:

11) Open the Realtek website > view available drivers > identify Realtek rt640x64.sys (Realtek RT640 NT driver)

12) open device manager > identify Realtek RT640 or GBE family controller driver > click properties > driver details > confirm rt640x64.sys > uninstall > reinstall from Realtek website

Maybe he used the wrong drivers because he thought he has an Asus Mainboard. But its an Gigabyte...

 

Yes, apologies, I changed the motherboard a while back, but I have the same results. Just had another BSOD while windows updates were running while shutting down. This time SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION and NTFS.sys is mentioned.

Attaching the file https://www.dropbox.com/s/kbz1dg7xp6...%2C70.zip?dl=0

zbook thank you for response, I will follow your instructions when I get home from work.

 

BSODHunter I have used correct drivers from official website for each mobo, and formatted the computer after changing mobo.

 

This could be true, but the fact is at the momemt its an Gigabyte mainboard and not Asus shown in your uploaded zip...

 

The information that we see is:
Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. Product H110M-S2H-CF

 

Apologies, I have changed the motherboard this weekend, wrote the wrong one in system spec. So please ignore the Asus from my original post.

I just got another BSOD while windows update was running while shutting down, and one right after I got back into windows. This is the file https://www.dropbox.com/s/kbz1dg7xp6...%2C70.zip?dl=0

zbook, I will follow your instructions after I come back from work.

 

Hey zbook, here is the info from administrative command prompt. I'm not overclocking anything on my own, I will reset the BIOS, change the Realtek driver and come back with results. Thank you.

I've reset the BIOS by removing CMOS battery then changed the Realtek driver (version was 9.x and is now 10.x), but I still got a BSOD. I'm attaching the file, but from my examination the error is memory corruption. Nothing specific. I'm now running a driver verifier to hopefully track this faster.

This is the up to date file with BSODs, just got another one, another memory corruption. I'm done for today.

There were multiple bsod mini dump files indicating memory.
One indicated a misbehaving driver: rt640x64.sys


This appears to be a re-replacement of the misbehaving driver.
Find all possible drivers for rt640.sys for each windows 10, 8.1 and 7.0
Post the drivers into the thread.
Record into the thread each step that you make in replacing this driver.


1) Find a replacement driver Realtek
2) Perform windows updates
3) disable windows updates of non-Microsoft drivers:
Enable or Disable Driver Updates in Windows Update in Windows 10 Windows 10 Windows Update Activation Tutorials
4) Open device manager > identify Realtek RT640 NT Driver or family controller driver > right click properties > driver details > confirm rt640x64.sys > uninstall driver > replace with new driver
5) report into the thread how the driver was displayed in device manager (name)
