Random Windows 10 - kernel security check failure - Bluescreen

[Mad Professor]

Hi All.

 

I recently upgraded my son's pc, and ever since it will randomly bluescreen with kernel security check failure.

When I say random it can happen several times in a day or go days without an issue.

 

OLD PC Specs

PSU: Seasonic M12II EVO 520W

Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V LX2

CPU: Intel i5-3570k

GPU: ZOTAC GTX 1650 Super (ZT-T16510F-10L)

SSD1: 120GB WD Green SATA - WDS120G2G0A (C Drive - Windows)

SSD2: 1TB Crucial P1 NVMe via PCIe to NVMe Adapter (D Drive - Games)

Monitor1: HP 22w

Monitor2: HP 22w

NEW PC Specs

PSU: Seasonic M12II EVO 520W

Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B460-PLUS - Bios 1602

CPU: Intel i5-10400F

Memory: 16GB (2x8GB) Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX 3200MHz (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16)

GPU: ZOTAC GTX 1650 Super (ZT-T16510F-10L)

SSD1: 250GB PNY XLR8 CS3030 NVMe (C Drive - Windows)

SSD2: 1TB Crucial P1 NVMe (D Drive - Games)

Monitor1: HP 22w

Monitor2: HP 22w

OS: Windows 10 Pro - 20H2

 

At first I thought it may be a issue with windows as the boot hard drive was being used from the old setup, so the 120GB WD Green SATA SSD was replaced with the 250GB PNY XLR8 CS3030 NVMe and a clean install of Windows 10 Pro, and downloaded and installed all windows updates, latest nvidia drivers, reinstalled all required programs, etc.

The system seemed fine for two days then it bluescreened with kernel security check failure no less then four times in one day.

I then performed a motherboard bios upgrade from version 1401 to version 1602, and the system was stable for the best part of a week, but yestarday the system again bluescreened with kernel security check failure.

As of yet I don't know exactly what it is that he is doing at the time of the bluescreen

My son does stream on twitch.tv, he streams things like, dead by daylight, dark souls, etc, not really what I would class as intense games.

CPU, GPU, Load and Temps seems to be in a sensible range while streaming.

I am not sure if he has had a bluescreen during a stream or not.

I've asked him to keep a log of when and what he is doing at the time of the bluescreen to try any narrow down the crashes.

I have tried with XMP disabled and enabled, both will still crash.

I have run memtest86 and that passes.

 

I am slowly running out of ideas.

 

Thanks for your time.

Has anyone got any ideas? or wants any additional information?

I reset my recently built pc for the third time two days ago, I was getting the same bsod. Just asking, do you have Asus Armoury Crate installed? If you do, try uninstalling it. I did that and I haven't got any bsod for now. 

Also, if that doesn't help, try updating the gpu drivers, nvidia just published a new one right now.
