So recently my computer has run into some issues that leave me confused after hours and hours of troubleshooting. First I was getting error code 68 on my ASUS motherboard and it wasn't even able to post with my dual channel ram installed. I did some troubleshooting to make sure that my ram wasn't the problem and when I pulled one stick out, it booted to my OS perfectly. I tried both sticks in single channel in every slot and it would boot to OS flawlessly. However, while I was doing these tests my system would light up on restart, start to boot, and then the power would cut out and it would power cycle and boot after the initial power cut. After booting in single channel in each of the 4 slots with each stick of ram, I updated my BIOS and I put the ram back in the dual channel slots it was initially in and it booted just fine . Since then, I've done a full scan of my memory with MemTest86 and it came back 100% successful with no RAM issues detected.
That's where the majority of my issues have cropped up. Long story short, I wiped my boot SSD and reinstalled windows 10 on it to ensure nothing was wrong. I updated all of my Nvidia drivers and windows drivers (as far as I can tell in the device manager tool). I keep crashing to a blue screen with different error codes each time. Some of my issues point to my drivers being awry, but I'm fearing that it could be a hardware issue.
The error codes are:
SYSTEM SERVICE EXCEPTION - Product NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 359.46
PAGE FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA
STATUS SYSTEM PROCESS TERMINATED - module ntoskrnl.exe
DRIVER PAGE FAULT IN FREED SPECIAL POOL - Product NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 359.46
MEMORY MANAGEMENT
SPECIAL POOL DETECTED MEMORY CORRUPTION
Error code "0xc000021a"
I have GeForce experience on my computer, and have installed the latest drivers from Nvidia before these BSOD errors happened.
Recently, my computer BSOD almost consistently upon rebooting(during the reboot process), but after one blue screen, it boots normally to windows. I get the nvlddmkm.sys (nvidia driver) crash when simply watching a YouTube video in Google Chrome with YouTube being the only tab open with steam, and spotify being the only things open on my computer. Videos will start to stutter and then it will crash with an awful noise. My games from my HDD won't launch.
Should be noted that I uninstalled my GTX1080, and booted from the CPU's integrated graphics and I still crashed in the same way, but it wasn't a Nvidia driver that caused it.
