Windows 10: MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION BSOD with new PC

Dear community,


I have self-built a new PC in January and I struggle for 2 months now to make it work properly due to permanent BSOD which are mostly "MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION".


I am playing various games from Epic Games Steam or Origin platforms but also some standalone games like League of Legends.


When does the BSOD occured ?

• When I run steam to play a game or simply download a game
• When I run Epic
• When I tried to install League of Legends BSOD during UAC to allow setup only

But, it never occurred while running Origin. For instance, I have played many days 2-3 hours in row with Need for Spead : Heat without any issue.



My configuration

1. be quiet! Dark Power Pro 11 750 W
2. Corsair Carbide 270R Midi Tower
3. MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Ti GAMING X 6Go
4. MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Pro Carbon AC LGA 1151, Intel Z390, ATX
5. WD Blue 2To, 3.5"
6. Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500Go, M.2 2280
7. 2x Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x, 8Go, DDR4-3200, DIMM 288
8. Intel Core I7-9700K LGA 1151, 3.6Ghz, 8-Core
9. 3x be quiet! Pure Wings 2 120mm, 1x
10. Cooler Master MasterLiquid 240 2.70cm

For information :

• The OS is installed on the SDD point 6
• The softwares are installed on the SDD point 6 but the games library Origin, Steam, Epics is installed on the HD point 5
• The CPU point 8 is cooled by the water cooling point 10 which got 2 fans oriented in the front of my midi tower
• The original fan of the midi tower is on the back
• I have added 2 additional fans point 9 on the top and 1 in front
• RAM is set on slot 2 and 4

What I have tried so far ?


In two months, I had time to try many and many solutions provided on various forums without success. Even worst, 95% of the BSOD does not generate minidump or memorydump files so it was quiet thought to identify the origin of the problem.


Here is things that I've tried :

• Fresh install of windows 10 using only the drivers provided by windows update
• Fresh install of windows 10 using manufacturer drivers
• Removed RAM point 7 from slot 4; removed RAM from slot 2 replaced by the one from slot 4; reset both ram
• Removed the HD point 5
• Removed the GPU point 3
• Flashed the BIOS with most recent version beta
• Ran sfc /scannow -> no errors
• Ran CHKDSK -> no errors
• Ran memtest86+ -> no errors
• Ran Intel diagnostic tool -> Tests passed with CPU going to 80° Celsius during stress test and back to 33° Celsius straight after
• Support from Miscrosoft which said it comes from heating problem but according to the point above and the fact I've been able to play NFS : Heat without issue it seems weird it is a CPU problem
• Trying to fix problems from Event Viewer DistributedCom warning remains only

After many crash, I've finally been able to get some minidump and memorydump that I would be glad to share. What is the best way ?


It is possible I forgot to mention something so just let me know if you need any more information or else.


Thank you in advance for your help.

BSOD - MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION and DRIVER_VERIFIED_DETECTED_VIOLATION

Hi,

I got BSOD twice for MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION and i followed this wiki to check my drivers:

Driver Verifier-- tracking down a mis-behaving driver.

I got DRIVER_VERIFIED_DETECTED_VIOLATION .

Here are the minidumps and specs of my pc.

One drive link

Steps already performed:

1) Ran a system file check (SFC) -> All good. Ran it three times.

2) Did driver verifier and got DRIVER_VERIFIED_DETECTED_VIOLATION

3) Minidump for DRIVER_VERIFIED_DETECTED_VIOLATION included in one drive.

 

MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION bsod

well i recently built my friend a computer with the following specs

Athlon II x2 250(3ghz),
g.skill 4gb 2x2gb ddr2 1066,
Biostar TA790GX XE AM2+/AM3
OCZ modxstrem Pro 600w

now we put it together no problem, it boots up fine every time. The problem we're having is that i insert the windows vista installation disc and it starts to load but every single time it gets to the end of the loading bar there's bout 2 sec where the screen is blackish n then a BSOD stating this

MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION

now i googled this real quick as i have to go to work and what i found out is that this is usually due to a hardware issue. But wouldn't there be other side affects? i have to go to work but any comments will be greatly appreciated. be back at 9.
