New 11th Gen Build Keeps Getting BSOD

[chrischevrier1]

So we just built this system about two weeks ago, from the get go enabling XMP with all other defualt bios settings it would boot but would give the BSOD error and shut down while trying to game or stream with OBS. The error was always CRITICAL PROCESS DIED. So naturally we figured it was the CPU or RAM that was the issue. XMP was running the defualt profile for the 3600mhz memory and just kept crashing. So we disabled XMP and it ran good for a week with no issues. Then once he started streaming again with OBS it would crash again. This time it was a mix between the watchdog error or critical process died error. We tried with 1 stick of ram, 2 sticks, and 4 sticks of ram.

 

So we decided to try and use his old ram that we know worked with his 9900k, we used ballistix sport 2400mhz, two 8gb sticks. It would work for a few hours then BSOD whenever we tried to stream or game. So starting to think maybe it's GPU error, SSD, CPU, or Motherboard.

 

Anyone got any ideas of what we could try? We legit had to reinstall windows once already and redo everything because the BSOD one time corrupted the entire SSD. So we reinstalled windows and it was all going good, so we tried enabling XMP again and it started crashing again. Before we installed windows the 2nd time we updated the bios again to the latest version. Still no luck. We are clueless on this one and I have been building for 12+ years never seen an issue like this. I am reading about plenty of other people with the same issue and no one seems to have an answer, but we are willing to try some stuff. Any info or things we could test would be greatly appreciated!

On the CPU correct? I will give it a try.

When Windows 10 stop code critical process died happens, it means the process which was needed to run the system ended due to corrupted or missing system files, bad device drivers, virus attack, compatibility issues, bad sectors, etc.

 

 

Run the Deployment Imaging and Servicing Management Tool

If you're still encountering errors, it's time to move on to the Deployment Imaging and Servicing Management (DISM) tool. It will repair a corrupt system image.

 

The tool has three switches:

1. /ScanHealth,
2. /CheckHealth
3. /RestoreHealth

Ended up clearing the CMOS when we installed the ballistix ram again and it was working great all night while streaming and gaming so we narrowed it down to it being the RAM. Replaced with 3200MHz Corsair Vengeance RGB ram and it's working flawlessly now. Guess it was just the NEO memory since the NEO stuff is mostly for Ryzen systems. So if anyone is experiencing this try getting slower ram that isn't labeled for Ryzen. Working great now!
