BSOD Freshly installed windows

[SinusTechNips]

So I got a new motherboard, psu and a ssd. After 5 hours of frustration it finally posted, but I'm having serious trouble installing windows. After installation is complete my computer reboots (as it should) but Blue screen appears saying things like:

PAGE FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

DRIVER OVERRAN STACK BUFFER 

KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_ERROR

 

and also saying  "what failed" :

Win32kfull.sys

Win32kbase.sys

Ntfs.sys

Storport.sys

Dxgmms2.sys

Dxgkrnl.sys

 

Tried chkdsk, memory test, sfc scan - no problems found. 

So, could this be a faulty ram? (tried single module in all slots), Bad SSD, Driver issue or corrupted USB bootable device?

 

Any help would be appreciated!

I would definitely try creating a new Windows installation USB as the first thing. And if possible, try with a different USB drive.

 

You mention problems getting it to post. Did you just connect something wrong or did you find another problem? Maybe the motherboard has a fault?

[SinusTechNips]

At first I thought that there was some hardware issue, but now everything is stable and works fine, cpu is detected with the right voltage, ram is detected with the correct frequencies, voltages and timings, but I just can't finalize my windows installation. Tried swapping ram, resetting cmos countless times. Blue screens all the time.

Just did a 2.5h memtest86 and 0 issues found. Don't know what else to do.

Do your BIOS have the ability to switch between UEFI and Legacy?

If so, try reinstalling in the opposite of the current setting.

 

It's an odd bug, I havn't seen anything like this since Windows XP...

Something as wired as putting the SSD into a different SATA port on the motherboard might work.

Bugs like these are often found in the most unlikely of places.

By the way, what is your system specs?

Motherboard: Asus Prime B250m plus

CPU: Core i7 6700

RAM: 2x8gb HyperX Fury 2133 MHz

PSU: Corsair CX 650m

GPU: EVGA 980 ti sc

SSD: Kingston A400 240 gb

 

 

Tried reseating CPU in the socket, swapping different rams for hours, attempted to reinstall windows for 15+ times, countless sfc scans / memtests - nothing works. Starting to lose faith.

Format your SSD in NTFS. (I hope you don't have important data, if is right, do backup of your data), make default your BIOS, Boot your SSD on UEFI mode. Assure you of your SSD is in mode AHCI (All this is in the BIOS). Install Windows 10. Cross your finger.

I got nothing important in there, just an empty drive. Read some articles about some malware 0 byte dlls which can not be found anywhere. Maybe that is the case..

Sincerly, if you format your ssd in NTFS that will erase all thing on it, malware too normally. But maybe your'e on the good track. It up to you. If you can try to take a picture of your error, that will help us.

Also these dump files.

Before you replaced your motherboard, I assume everything worked?

Though I have sneaking feeling that the problem could be the SSD. Kingston was good once, but in my experience their products are not that stable anymore.

If you have any spare hard drive lying around, try installing on that, just to see if it is the SSD that has gone bad.

[SinusTechNips]

Also tried to install windows onto my old HDD, which was flawless - still doesn't work. 

 

Is it possible that corrupted USB boot drive makes those kernel drivers disappear or conflict with hardware? 

[Tea-Sir]

Could be. Windows installations are just a copy of a WIM image these days. I actually don't know if the installation process does any kind of checks to the media it is installed from, or if it checks the deployed WIM image.

 

But a bad sector on the USB could cause this.

But I get that this a confusing problem, it reads as a classic RAM issue. But you have already ruled that out. No way that all RAM sticks and slots are suddenly broken. And if no overclocking is going on, it shouldn't cause this problem.

And since things worked before, and all other components are starting to be ruled out as trouble makers, it might be a bad motherboard.

Especially if you had so much trouble getting it going the first time.

 

Comparing to when things worked and when they didn't, the only change as I understand it, is the motherboard. Fingers are starting to point that way...

But I would still try a new USB boot drive first, going back to the old motherboard, just to find out if it works or not, is sort of the nuclear option.

Everything works perfectly with my i5, not with i7 even though it posts and everything is fine in BIOS. When I comes to loading OS, it crashes with BSOD. 

Is it safe to gently clean the bottom part of the cpu with isopropyl or not?

Do this:

Add the drive to a working PC or Laptop

Open diskmgmt.msc with Admin perms

Right Click the drive that's being stupid and delete every partition.

Don't format the partition.

Plug it back into your PC

Just to be safe, recreate the installer on another USB

Try again

BOOM it should work

I installed windows and was testing my pc 5 hours straight - flawless with an

i5, instant BSOD with an i7.

Oh shit. I think your CPU's fucked. Try updating the BIOS?

 

Try installing linux and see if it works. Then you know if the problem is with just windows.

Latest BIOS.

[SinusTechNips]

I guess it's worth a try. Otherwise 200+€ in the bin. 

[Tea-Sir]

Odd that the problem goes away after a CPU change...

Was the CPU new too?, or was that from the "old build"?

 

If the CPU is new, I would try getting a refund or swap. If you are in EU (which it seems) the sales of good act should be in your favour. Since the i7 clearly doesn't work correctly.

[SinusTechNips]

It's used..
