First build ever! BSODs :(

[DJ Joel Roche]

Hello everyone!

I've just finished my first PC build ever, and I am extremely frustrated with system freezing and BSODs. I have read the forum rules on posting about BSODs but some of the software I couldn't get working properly, but WhoCrashed worked. Any time I try to update the drivers on my WiFi adapter, the PC freezes, then upon rebooting, I usually get a BSOD with WHEA UNCORRECTABLE ERROR. This morning, around 9am, I got up to find a new BSOD, PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA.
 

I have disabled the LAN in BIOS so Windows knows that the WiFi adapter is the only network interface to use. I am going to probably remove the WiFi card and just connect physically to my modem, unless there is a fix to this, as running an Ethernet cable down to my basement is going to be very time consuming.

 

Basically the computer runs like a dream unless I try to update the WiFi drivers, and also seems to BSOD on it's own once it's been on for too long. I'm quite certain that my issue is this WiFi card. The reason I'm not using the ASUS drivers is because others seem to be running into the same issue and suggested using the Broadcom ones. I have not tried the ASUS  Version 2.0.8.8 drivers, as suggested here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/47kw5a/psa_solution_to_asus_pceac68_being_buggy_on/ because the computer seems to stay on for long enough to accomplish basic work that I need to do right now and I'm afraid I will corrupt windows and need to do a fresh reinstall.

Any help or tips would be appreciated!

RAM or OS KERNAL ISSUE its hardware related. 

 

Open your PC and take a few DIMM DDR RAM out of the Computer and try again with 1 ram and check BIOS to make sure all ram is in there.

 

DRIVERS should not give you BSOD if so try to DELETE the DRIVER issued.

I'm almost 100% certian that the WiFi card is the issue. I'd suggest you this:

 

1) Return the card

2) Get a new, better card

3) Get a powerline adapter

Your wifi card is the problem, return it and get a new one. Stop wasting time trying to troubleshoot a problem that should not exist in the first place. The warranty is there for a reason, it's not there for aesthetics.

Not only the WIFI-CARD ALSO The Kernal is the issue and is due OVERCLOCKING/RAM

 

Yes try WIFI CARD first and see if its fixed

[DJ Joel Roche]

How should I go about removing the WiFi card? Uninstall drivers first, then power down and remove it, or power down and remove it and then remove drivers?

OP didn't specified whether he has OC or not. 2133 is the official ram speed set by Intel.

Uninstall drivers and then remove the card.

No overclocking was done, BIOS reads the 16GB of ram, so does windows. Thank you for the tips everyone! If the problem persists after I have removed the WiFi card, I will check the ram. Cheers

It's not haunted. It's a defective card. I had a new build, where its built in wifi will actually slow down the entire network, it would take a broadband connection back to 56K dial up. Yep that wifi card is haunted too.
