Prime 360M-A BSOD problem when online.

[Eric Kazer]

I don't know if anyone else had or has this problem.

 

The only thing I did differently after building this computer is connect the ethernet cable to network. Out of the blue when I was online BSOD. 

 

I read forums,

It seems that the driver I acquired from Microsoft or one that is preinstalled with 20H2 was causing BSODs to happen at random.  I updated the driver. Also I disabled XMP. I figure that one or the other is causing blue screens to happen. I have not had BSOD since updating the LAN driver, but I have not re enabled XMP.

 

Has anyone else had this issue?

 

Specs are:

Asus B360M-A

I5-9500

16GB Ripjaws memory 3200 that should be capped at 2666 with XMP enabled

GTX 1660

Asus Xonar DX7.1 Sound card

HP card reader

HX 850 PSU because I have it not because it needs it.

Noctua NH-U9S CPU Cooler

 

I did some thinking about the thing and realized that when I was testing the PC that I was using a Netgear Wi-Fi adapter Via USB 2.0 and nothing was happening with the issue at hand, Not one BSOD happend with XMP enabled. I have yet to see one after update from Asus web sight.

 

I hope this helps anyone with trouble.

Coincidence is not causality.  Have you tested your ram?  PSU problem seems unlikely with something that big.

Ya,

Maybe Memtest86 should be done.

Ya,

I have not seen any BSODs after updating driver. Something weird, audio starts late but i synced on Youtube that's only when I first power on computer. See what happens when I Trimm drive.

I guess that driver was it. I'm surprised that a stupid driver would cause a problem like that. I had to goto other forums randomly to find that the outdated driver that probably came from Microsoft was the issue. After building the thing I was using my Netgear WiFi adapter, and that is most likely why is was not blue screening at first.

 

The lesson here is never trust a legacy driver. Asus support and driver had a driver that worked and was up to date.  

 

Had PC on for hours watching Youtube and no BSOD. Stable. Stable with XMP enabled afterwards.

BSOD said possible cause HWINFO 64. Just removed it.
