System:

Ryzen 3900X

Asus Strix X570-E mobo

Corsair Dominator RGB 4x16GB 3200MHz

Nvidia RTX 2070 super

 

I experience random blue screens when using my system. In the beginning when I first built it would go weeks between them so I didn't bother with it. It mostly did it when I was away from the computer, so I would come back to the lock screen and reopen my apps, which I just considered as a minor inconvenience. It bothered me more when it happened while playing games, and then started happening when just watching YouTube and doing everyday web browsing. I tried by updating drivers (clean install nvidia drivers) and reinstalling OS a couple of times. I still experience random blue screens without any knowledge of what is triggering it.

 

The different stop codes I have recieved:

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (most frequent)

APC INDEX MISMATCH

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

 

Most answers on the internet seems to be to update drivers, which I have done, and the other is to reinstall OS, which I also have done. So now I'm here, thanks for all answers!

I am not sure , but it's possible that one of the memory , is on the way to be defective.  Or could also be a bad contact from oxidation. Try removing and cleaning the memory stick. 

 

You can also try, using one stick at a time, then see if you get the same result.

-> Moved to Troubleshooting

***

 

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL = System instability, usually caused by overclockign

 

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA = Memory related failure, but this is harder to pinpoint. Reseating RAM is a start, then you can run Memtest to check if sticks are failing overall.

 

DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION = IIRC this is driver related, but I'm not sure.
