BSOD LOOP ON NEW PC NEED HELP

[Pentecostxx]

I recently bought a motherboard+CPU combo online which was a ryzen 5 5600x + gigabyte b450m ds3h v3 motherboard since I wanted to upgrade my rig and get better experience in playing games such as marvel rivals, valorant, and some other single player games like god of war or even some f1 2025. After I replaced the motherboard and cpu of my setup and tried to install windows since it did post, it went on a BSOD loop with different error messages each time.

I returned the said parts to the seller and they tried it on their test bench with a GT 710, 8gb 3200mhz RAM and a 1000w PSU and worked fine. Is it possible that my new motherboard doesn't like my RAM? I don't think my PSU would have a problem powering the new CPU+mobo?

Since then, I went back to using my old setup down below and reinstalled windows and everything works perfectly.

Here is the list of my OLD setup (Note that the only thing that changed was the mobo,CPU, and CPU cooler)
CPU: i5 6500
Motherboard: MSI Z170A PC MATE
RAM: Hyperx Fury 2x8gb 2666mhz
GPU: RX 580
Boot drive: 256gb m.2
PSU: 600w Aerocool

Did you try to run the existing Windows when going from Intel to AMD? It's recommended to reinstall Windows when changing vendors/platforms.

Nope, I formatted the existing boot drive then did a clean windows install. I managed to download windows 11 and when it was time to download drivers etc, it started the bsod loop again and won't stay on for more than 30 seconds after booting into windows

B450 needs a Bios update to support the 5600X, the B450 chipset came out with Ryzen 2000.

From what I remember before sending it back to the seller, the bios version I had was "F1" and on their website it did say that that version supports the 5600x, although there is a newer version of the bios. But that still wouldn't explain why the cpu+mobo won't work for me but worked on the test bench of the seller

you can try to get some cheap ddr4, like 4 gb for like 10 bucks on ebay and use that to test if your old ram is the issue. i doubt this one, but the rx 580. amd (and ATI) has always been known for fast chips with even better pricing compared to nvidia, but when you pay the nvidia tax, it shows in its usally far more stable and less buggy drivers. although recently amd drivers do seem to be getting better. reason why i think AMD driver? irql_not_less_or_equal usually is a driver bsod 

 

edit: tl:dr basically try to update your drivers in safe mode

I would wanna try that, but the issue is I can't stay in windows long enough to even update drivers. Once it boots into windows, I only have like 30 seconds to maybe 1 minute to do anything before it BSODs. I wanna say again that all other parts works fine when I change my mobo and cpu back to i5 6500 and my old msi mobo, the seller also verified that the new mobo and cpu aren't defective since it booted with their test bench. I did order a new 2x8 set of 3200mhz ram, maybe the gigabyte motherboard doesn't like my 2666mhz?

Update for anyone that might have the same issue, the items got refunded and I bought the same motherboard from a different vendor and got a ryzen 5600 instead. Added a new T-Create Classic 2x8 CL 22 RAM and everything worked without a hitch. I would like to think that the new mobo just didn't like my RAM and caused the BSOD loops but those RAMs worked fine on an intel platform mobo so idk.
