Thanks for any help in advance! A little backstory: I built two generally identical PC’s. Recently updated the BIOS and Windows (in that order) on one of the machines. It ran through the rest of the day but the following morning would not boot. Issue: Boot loop into BSOD where three different stop codes alternate appearing. I.e. first message appears, then when the restart occurs sometimes one of the other messages will appear) Stop Codes presented: ”Kernel security check failure” “Unexpected kernel mode trap” ”System thread exception not handled” I understand most people point to a driver issue and have seen recommended steps to resolve. However, I cannot seem to get to any of the aptly mentioned areas. Cannot load Windows (Thus can not figure out how to create dump files), WinRE, Safe Mode, Bootable USB Media. All attempts bring me to this screen. I’ve seen rare instances of it preparing to repair but it kicks to the stop code screen within no more than 2 seconds. Being that I have two essentially identical systems I swapped the NVME SSD’s to test. Result: The issue does not follow the SSD. Swapped the RAM as well with no change. Haven’t swapped the CPU’s yet as I need to find my thermal paste (though I feel this may not be necessary). Specs: Windows 10 64-bit (Up-to-date) ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F Gaming BIOS Version 3003 AMD Ryzen 3200g G.SKILL 16GB (2 x 8GB) Ripjaws V Series DDR4 PC4-25600 3200MHz Corsair CX Series 650W 80 plus bronze If these issues arose due to incompatibility of drivers with an update or other Windows OS specific problem. Why would the issue persist when a different Boot SSD was used? At any rate, I’m at a loss and very much appreciate any help in finding a resolution here. Thanks all.
