Windows 10: PC BSOD (i'm so lost)

Hi! My pc has been getting problems and I wanted to see if anybody can help or give an opinion to what could be happening. My pc booting to the windows 10 icon with the loading circle and after 3 seconds it freezes and blue screens to either “page fault, thread exception, etc” cannot get to desktop or login screen at all, worked fine for the past year. Only thing was installed recently was Logitech gaming mouse software

----I have tried:

-removing GPU to run off just Intel graphics
-a different WORKING compatible ram kit from a PC in working condition

-only SSD booting (windows install)

-only HDD WITH the windows 10 ISO USB stick

-Just windows 10 installation media usb stick

-reapplied thermal paste
-re-seated ram
-unplugged and reconnected power supply cables
-updated motherboard bios to latest firmware - instant flash

-held down power button for 30 seconds

-bought a different brand z370 motherboard same problem!

-no usb devices plugged in

-with/without keyboard&mouse


Automatic system repair pops up but after the dots icon roll for like 5 seconds same blue screen errors

errors.

I remember seeing in anything I try:

-PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

-IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

-SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

-MEMORY_MANAGEMENT

there was more like kernel something but i don't remember


SPECS: Intel i7 8086k

Asrock z370 extreme4

16gb ram

Gtx 1080

Windows 10

3 rgb fans (molex) if this matters

PC reboots (no BSOD) on CPU stress

Hi fellow TPU members,

not too long ago, the box my gf's PC was transported in gave way on the stairs. Yes, you got it right, that sent a PC tumbling down a flight of steps alright.

Stuff broke. Also, stuff remained intact somehow.

I bought her a new case, new CPU cooler and we removed the floppy drive, so far so good. But the PC started crashing for no apparent reason, without a BSOD.

I tested:

• Memtest86+, left overnight, 0 errors
• Scanned the HDD for errors, nothing there
• Left FurMark burning up the GFX card and drawing some power, no problems there
• Ran Ubuntu from a Live CD doing nothing special, didn't crash
• Ran OCCT, Linpack, Prime95, all 3 caused reboots within minutes
• Oh, and I disabled "Restart on error" so I'm sure it's not a BSOD.

Now, I can still try and test something CPU intensive on Ubuntu, but my guess is the CPU didn't survive.
Before I do anything drastic like whippin' out the magic wallet and get her a new AMD quad, is there anything I didn't see?
I'm guessing the motherboard could be borkered as well, but can I check that other than replacing the CPU with a working one?
Any suggestions on which proggies I can use from an Ubuntu Live CD to stress the CPU?

 

BSOD- atikmpag.sys

This is most likely due to an installation/upgrade error with ATI driver's. I suggest doing DriveSweeper and the following:

• Drivesweeper all drivers & in Safe Mode
• Unistall all drivers that aren't used in DriveSweeper (CCC Profiler Updates, MSI AfterBurner, anything related to ATI that use's it's drivers.)
• After you do this, the first thing you need to do is go into Device Manager and Unistall your ATI Drivers

Once your done, restart the PC and then try installing the latest drivers.


I had several issues with this in the past, but I overcame it with logical reasoning and whenever I have a driver issue, I just use these steps and I always overcome the problem.

Best of luck! *Toast :toast:

 

PC Build Steps

Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval

• Install system in case
  • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
• Turn on PC
• setup HDD
• run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
  • run realtemp at the same time

• While in Prime95 test
  • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
  • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
  • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!

What do you guys think??
