Ok here is the specs: Zen+, Asus Arez Vega 56, MSI B450 mobo, trident z rgb ram, and 2 NVME drives 1 with windows 10 pro and the other with Linux mint.
So everything seems to be working except that I blue screen on boot up 9/10 times. It restarts after the bsod and then it works fine. Same error every time. I’ll post a screen shot as well.
Stop Code: SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED
What Failed: stornvme.sys
So far my troubleshooting via google has led me down 2 lines of inquiry.
1. MSI RGB Software and Asus RGB software incompatibility. (I think this is most likely the issue)
Evidence:
-The appearance of the bsod coincided with the timing of me downloading the asus rgb software.
-Super funky lighting behavior on boot up(the MSI controlled lights seem to change to a previous lighting profile and go back to rainbow barf)
-the trident ram kits rgb control switched from being controlled with MSI to the Asus software but not after the first reboot after installing the asus software.
2. Vega driver issues
Evidence:
-Radeon software reports a resolution output error after the bsod
-my overclocking profile gets reset after the bsod
So I haven’t done much to try and fix the issue besides changing the adrenaline drivers back a version which did nothing.
My understanding coming into this build was that the biggest issue with having incompatible rgb devices would be having to have 2 softwares. so it would be impossible to sync effects, but no one said anything about 2 softwares causing system breaking errors and bsods. Is that something that I should have expected?
Im gunna try and isolate the issue by uninstalling the asus software. But even if that works it doesn’t solve my issue.
Anyway I come out of this without any rainbow barf or bsods?
I’ll post the bsod dump later if I can figure it out.
