BSOD help

Go to solution Solved by Guest,

Test your HDDs/SSDs.

 

edit: What bios version? up to date?

Hello, 

to begin here’s my build:

Ryzen 7 2700x

Aorus b450 pro WiFi 

32gb Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 3600mhz

MSi gtx 1660ti
NZXT Kraken x52

256gb ssd, 500gb NVME, 2tb 7200rpm HDD

Corsair 650w PSU

 

Preface: before this RAM kit, I had a 16gb kit of 3000mhz TridentZ as well and was experiencing the exact same problems I am now, just slightly less often and have done a full system wipe in December of 2019. 
 

anyways, my pc has been acting very odd and has been crashing games, apps have been freezing, and I’ve been getting numerous BSOD errors. 
 I also ran a memory diagnostic on each individual DIMM of both kits and every single test came back with no errors. Everything shows up perfectly normal and correct in bios, Task manager, Ryzen master, and even HWiNFO (downloaded it specifically to try and fix my problem)

 

The issue began when I first installed the TridentZ kit a while back, so I bought the Vengeance kit recently, because my errors all pointed to RAM being a problem. Vengeance only made it worse. It feels like the more RAM I have (or the faster the speed), the more frequent my BSODs are. They happen within 10 minutes of booting up from any state (off, sleep, etc.)

 

the BSOD messages I usually get are:


System_thread_exception

Irql_not_less_or_equal

driver_irql_not_less_or_equal

Kernel_security_check_failure

 

My example of games freezing would be Rocket League for the most part, but CSGO has shown similar problems and the new Call of Duty crashes within a minute every single time I open it. (COD seems to be a widespread DX11 issue though). Anyways, Rocket League will randomly freeze, and to get it to unfreeze I have to Ctrl+Alt+Del then press cancel and it will catch back up with itself. Very rarely I will get a “ran out of video memory” which should NOT happen with a game like rocket league that is less taxing in terms of hardware. 6gb gddr5 is more than plenty for most games in 1080p. Also all drivers are up to date. All temps are well below safe operating and tjmax. Cpu rarely reaches 60C GPU rarely breaks 70C. 

 

please if anyone has an idea of what’s causing my BSOD and weird performance let me know. I have a lot of money into this PC obviously and as it sits, it’s purely frustration being caused, not enjoyment like it should be


edit (new message):

System_service_exception

What failed: dxgmms2.sys

 

edit2: 

thank you everyone for your help, it seems my boot ssd had some space in it that was going bad, which explains why even with a relatively fresh install I was getting corrupted files shown by system scans. Trashed the ssd and my boot is on my NVME with a completely fresh install and my baby has been running better than ever :)

Try disabiling X.M.P. and running at normal JEDEC (2133mhz at CL15). It's possible your motherboard is terrible at memory OC. You never seemed to mention what program you used or how long you used it. Even if you used a reputable memory testing program for a decent amount of time, its possible your memory heats up to the point where its not stable anymore.

Bios is the newest on the website. Released in November of 2019. Trying the NVME as new boot drive with fresh windows install... ran a sfc  /scannow and had some issues with corrupted files. Points to my boot ssd, as there shouldn’t be corrupted files on a new install
