BSOD only seems to happen on cold boot?

[Silverbackk]

Hi all, My gaming pc has just randomly started to BSOD on start up. It first started around 4/5 days ago. I didn't think much of it at the time. It happened again today on start up so I've decided to look into it further. I tried to get it to happen again by shutting down and starting up which I tried over 10 times and it would not BSOD. So I thought I would try shutting down, then powering off and on at the mains, then turning it on. This triggered the BSOD although after testing this further it can take 3/4 cold boots for it to happen. 

 

I built the PC back in may and it has ran flawless ever since. I must note the CPU is overclocked to 5.1ghz all core which could be the possible cause however if it was the problem why would it only happen on cold start-up and not crash when underload in games etc?

 

I treated myself to a new steel series arctis 7 headset for Christmas which is the only change in peripherals/hardware I've done in recently. I set the headset up on the day before the first BSOD. 

 

Some of the codes I've been getting (seem completely random):

ATTEMPED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY.

REGISTRY_FILTER_DRIVER_EXCEPTION.

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. (this one has came up the most)

SYTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION.

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA.

 

Also had this message come up when shutting down: Corsair.Service.DisplayAdapter.exe - Application Error.

 

I'm going to run HW info for a bit while playing some games to see if it throws up any errors regarding the CPU overclock.

 

 

 

Any advice/suggestions are much appreciated.

Is the RAM OCed over XMP spec?

 

And try re-seating all power cables, maybe also the GPU and RAM?
It might be a bad contact that after heating up expands just enough to make contact again.

All of those errors point out to a memory-related issue. If you have XMP / DOCP profiles enabled, remove them and let the memory run at its stock speed for a couple of days. See if that will resolve the issues you are having.

No ram isn't overclocked over xmp. Yeah ill give that a try, thanks. I think its most likely a ram problem, the ram and psu came from my old PC which is a couple years older than everything else.

Yeah I think its ram too. I have XMP enabled so ill give it a try, thanks.

So I’ve reseated the ram and made sure all cables were pushed in properly etc and it is still happening. I thought it had fixed it initially, It started over 15 times fine when it was “warm” but after leaving it 20 minutes and then booting it up it will bsod on the second or third try. I’m thinking possibly the cpu OC has become unstable but I’ve ran HW info for 2 days now whilst gaming etc and there is no errors whatsoever. I’m going to try going back to a restore point from a week ago before this started and see if that works.

Remove all OC ecpecialy on RAM (That means no XMP! stock speeds).

If it happens still, then theres is something (partialy) broken if it works fine its most likely a bad OC.

I think I've found out what my problem is. I gave my PC a quick clean last week and I had accidently left my wireless phone charger tucked in underneath directly below my hdd's. I've moved and tested it and it seems to have fixed the problem. Also prior to this I ran prime 95 for 2 hours and had no errors or bsod so that ruled out the OC being unstable, did an optional windows intel driver update (didn't fix it), Tried to do a system restore back to a week ago but the restore failed and reinstalled gpu drivers using ddu. 

 

Ill know for sure over the next couple of days if it has worked but looks to be promising so far and yes I do feel stupid;)

My friend, I am having the same problem.  I'm sad, it's my first gaming pc.  I reinstalled windows and it worked for a month, now the problem has returned.  I have suspicions about the GPU driver (RTX 3070), because I reinstalled the driver from safe mode and it was fixed for a few days.  It may be the ram memory as I read here.  Could your problem be solved?

My heart is broken :(

Try reseating ram and gpu and reseat all power cables. I very much doubt you had the same problem as me. My issue was having a wireless phone charger under the pc, moved it and no more bsod's.

Incorrect Overclocks can wear out hardware, and very fast too. 

 

I'd try to reset *everything* leave it at default, no XMP or anything, load "optimized default settings" (or some such) and see if it improves. 

 

if it doesn't try a new PSU - because that very much sounds like PSU (probably worn out, degraded or damaged)
