Multiple BSODs when trying to update windows.

[MrMongoose]

greetings everyone!

 

I have been dealing with a rather problematic computer that BSODs at any point I try to write something heavy to it's ssd. (in this case just trying to perform windows updates).

Every time it BSODs I seam to be getting a completely different reason, so far it's given me:

IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL

Page fault in nonpaged area

cache manager

PFN_LIST_CORRUPT

system thread exception not handled

 

The system has been freshly reinstall with Windows 10 22H2.

 

I tried 2 different drives that work flawlessly in other systems. A Crucial P2 M2. 2280 500GB and an older Kingston 120GB SSDnow300.

The specs are:

Motherboard - Asus TUF B450M-Plus Gaming

CPU - Ryzen 5 3600x (stock config - not overclocked)

RAM - Corsair Vengeance @ 3600 mhz

GPU - EVGA RTX 3050

 

does anyone have a clue as to what could be causing all these issues or what I could try out to at least pinpoint it?

Okay, well...

 

After a weekend of troubleshooting it turns out this motherboard with the CPU refuse to run memory speeds at anything higher then stock 2133mhz.. Furthermore, I cannot get all cores to work well when performing a Prime95 test. 2 cores will stop immediately after the test begins. From searches I performed online, it seems to be related to a too low voltage on the CPU... Can anyone help me figure out how I can get either of those issues addressed?

 

I successfully updated the BIOS to the latest version, 4401.

 

thanks!

Alright I'm just about ready to chuck this thing into the sun... after replacing the corsair ''flashy'' ram with a pair of less ''flashy'' and slower 3200 mhz kit, I was able to get this thing rock solid in windows 10 with timing at 3000 mhz... I was able to get all updates done, ran both prime 95 and fur mark to run for 2 hours with ZERO blue screens. Then, when came time to upgrade to Windows 11, I realized you can no longer do that from Windows 10 easily. I figured okay, no biggie, I'll just install windows 11 and BAM, every single bluescreen returned. Even lowering the speed to 2133 mhz makes no difference. Anything I attempt at doing under windows 11 almost immediately results in a bluescreen... what could possibly be THIS different between the 2 OSes that could cause them to behave so differently?
