Multiple BSODs out of the blue (pun intended)

Hi all,

this is my system:


AMD Ryzen 5 2400G
Wraith Stealth
Gigabyte GA-AB350-Gaming
M.2 NVME Adata Gammix S10 128Gb
Toshiba P300 1Tb
16Gb DDR4 G.Skill TridentZ 3200
Thermaltake Hamburg 530 W
Windows 10 Pro 64 bit

 

After months of flawless usage, I'm experiencing multiple restarts and BSODs out of nowhere.

 

Please note that CPU, iGPU and RAM are running at stock speeds, no overclocks or overvolts have been applied. The only "tweak" is the XMP 3200 profile and that's all.

I've been using the AMD "Q2 2018" drivers with no issues but since upgrading to Adrenalin 2019, things started to go wrong.

 

The odd thing is that the issues seem to only affect data transfers: until now, I've been having troubles only when copying large files (several Gbs) to an external HDD, or trying to download equally large torrent files.

 

Then I might fire up a game or watch an entire soccer game on streaming and the computer works flawlessly for hours without giving a damn.

 

Testing the drives with HDTune returned no problems whatsoever.

 

Now, what's next?
Should I start to worry about my RAM (some BSODs reported IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL or similar errors, but I've seen several others as well)?
Or do you think the drivers are to blame?
I haven't had time to try a memtest but I'm planning to do it as soon as possible.

Thank you all and happy new year!

I would say its bug in drivers since these only started after installing them. I would recommend going back to previous driver version first. Or trying newer one, beta or stable, if one is available. You should also look at AMDs support and see if they have troubleshooting guides or community forums etc. where you can report this and check on further help.

Update:
RMA'd my G.Skills and got a Patriot Viper 4 kit (PV416G320C6K) which is actually on my mainboard's QVL list.
Zero errors in memtest86, XMP enabled @3200 no problem.
Fingers crossed!
