I've recently upgraded my CPU, Motherboard, RAM and case but since then i've been getting heaps of different BSOD errors with the most common ones being:

 

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

 

and

 

MEMORY_MANAGEMENT.

 

 

I first got a BSOD while benchmarking a game and then i would get them whilst just browsing the internet. At first i thought it could be the drivers of my old motherboard conflicting with my new ones so I backed up my SSD and then formatted with the option they give you when choosing a drive to install Windows. I clean installed Windows 10 and installed all the drivers for my motherboard and graphics card from the manufacturer's website. (I tried updating the BIOS, but every time i tried flashing it via usb it would give the message "No image file detected". So i just left it).

 

At first it seemed okay, but after trying a few games i started getting BSOD's again. They seem to happen more often when I play games. I ran chkdsk /r /f

the other night and when it started checking, at around %12 in i would get another BSOD this time with 'CRITICAL_STRUCTURE_CORRUPTION'.

 

I've googled and searched for days but it's just too much for me, now I just have to throw my hands up in the air and ask for help from someone who knows better.

 

 

 

Computer information:

 

  • Windows 10 Pro 64bit
  • Windows 8 (full retail) originally installed, upgraded to win8.1 and then to 10. OS installed a day or 2 ago.
  • CPU, Motherboard and RAM only a week old. Graphics card i've had for 2 years and SSD is about 1 year old.

GPU                    - Sapphire Vapor-X HD7970

Motherboard       - ASRock z-170 Extreme4

I checked the error messages you are getting and it seems like these are are related to either drivers or RAM. But because you did a fresh install of Windows I would think the RAM is the problem.

Try to plug only one RAM stick into your motherboard at a time. Maybe one of the sticks was DOA. Also disable XMP in your motherboard's BIOS.

You could also try to run your system without a graphics card. Maybe that's the problem, because its the oldest part in your system, but I doubt it.

Since my last post I had actually just downloaded memtest86 to test out my RAM sticks, both passed once with another passing twice. Do you think i should run it again with XMP disabled?

 

I also just realized that while attempting to install the VGA driver for the motherboard i would get an error which prevented me from doing so. "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software". I'm pretty certain that it is the right driver, but I will in the morning attempt to try running the system without my graphics card.

 

 

 

 

UPDATE* I went ahead and bought a new SSD and fresh installed windows10 on that. No BSOD's ever since.
