Blue Screen Issue

[nickr1125]

So ever since I upgraded my system I have been getting blue screens. It first started when I had my old hard drive in and I went to test the new build with playing a game. It would blue screen and I would be fine playing for 20 minutes until it happened. I got annoyed and went out and bought an NVME SSD and put that in and did a fresh install of Windows 11. After this I got all the drivers and played watchdogs 2 for a half hour before I blue screened to the code "WATCHDOG" which was confusing at first. So come to now I am able to play fh5 on high/ ultra settings perfectly fine for about 30 minutes to an hour and a half. And then I get a lag spike and a crash. The last time it happened I was able to be on my desktop with no lag right after and then I got a blue screen saying NTOSKRNL.EXE. So I did some research and did the sfc file checker. and it found and repaired 2 files. but after that I still blue screened after a while of playing games. So I did the windows ram tester. It failed the first time. So I took the second stick of ram out and then it passed. I kept the first one in but swapped spots. It still passed. Then I took that stick out and put the other one in and it passed in both spots. So I put them both back in and it passed. And I am still struggling with the random blue screens. I don't know what it is. Can anyone help?

Check

 

Event Viewer>system log

 

Look for when the crash happens and see what the error is because it might be a memory issue. 

 

I had a similar issue with Civ 6 and a couple of damaged dims. They passed other checks, but the crashes to desktop/blue screens were them. I ended up replacing them with a new kit and fixed this issue.

 

Granted this was win 10, 5800x, ddr4. So a totally different platform.

What am I looking for? I really just see the code.

Also, I think it is the ram but this ram is not cheap and idk if it's covered as I bought it from micro center 3 weeks ago

Latest motherboard Bios?

Search the code on Google. Just to see if it's the ram. Should say memory error or something.

 

If you bought it new, no harm in seeing if you can get an RMA on it. Microcenter has a 30 day policy.

i cant believe you overspend on your CPU but your gpu is 480.. its a good gpu.. but not for ur budget.... u aint poor:|||

 

but yeah , lets get to the topic: turn off any overclocks or EXPO etc for RAM. remove the ram sticks and clean their contacts with a fine cloth.

seat them in 2nd and 4th slot. if those slots give error in the stress test (btw try memetest64 software for the stresstest. )

try to stress test your ram in SAFE MODE.

also, ur ram is more thwn enough but still, turn on PAGE FILE incase u run out of ram(unlikely)

 

and get a good gpu for gods sake! someone who can afford a gorgeous cpu like that also affords a good gpu. 6700xt (~360usd) bare minimum for yu.... dont go nvidia. their GPUs r gonna meet deadend soon.. 30series cards are dead already, exipt 3080 and 3090. 8gb vram is NOT enough for a 500usd gpu.

lmao thanks for the laugh but I'm not one who typically spends money on myself so it took a lot of convincing to buy that stuff. and the 6700XT was the card I was actually looking at getting next. On a sidenote, I'm running the memtest86 tonight so we will see what happens.

Ok so I went out and traded the ram for two new sticks. Still having the issue. Noticed it happened way more when I manually set the ram in bios to 6000mhz

Not sure how to but that could be the issue as I see the latest bios update was in beta and said something about high speed ram.

also not sure how to enable expo as I didn't see the option.

Do not yet the RAM frequency manually to 6000, that's not the way to overclock the RAM to the xmp frequency. You have to enable Expo (xmp, docp) to have the board set all the timings right.

 

Also, did you or did you not flash the latest bios?

I have it mostly figured out I am on the latest bios with expo 1 enabled After everything i did not blue screen for a month. then i blue screened like twice a month. This last week I blue screened three times. And for the first time today I blue screened on start up. idk what it is. But it's been super stable up until this week I was able to live stream and play competitive games with no issues.

Try the next Expo.

Or set Expo 1 and manually lower the clock. Wouldn't be the 1st Zen4 not running 6000 stable.
