BSOD installing windows

[ELLISRKE]

I’m installing windows 10 on a new build from a USB. When the installation gets to copying windows files section every time I get a BSOD with the error IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL.

 

i tried re seating the memory

ive run memtest and got no error

 

not sure what to do...

 

my system specs

 

intel i5 8600k

GTX 1070

rm550x psu

asus prime z370-a motherboard

kingston hyper x fury 16GB 2133 (2x8)

 

i also dont don’t know how to get a dump file as I obviously can’t access windows.

If memory doesn't seem to be causing any issues, try using an install DVD rather than a USB.

go into bios and reset to optimized defaults, only change settings as needed (like nvme/sata) if that doesn't get you through it you might have to remove the cpu and make sure there's no problems with the socket

I’ve used this USB with the same installation like 10 times

I haven’t changed any settings and I don’t think the socket is the problem. I had a good look when I was installing it?

oh, make sure multicore enhancement isn't turned on by default, does some auto overclocking and might be causing your problem

auto=on. set it to off, see if issues persist

Nope.... it happened again?

Only thing I have left is checking power plug seating and removing the gpu to see if it's a power issue

Not at home anymore but I’ll give it a try when I get back... 550 Watts should be enough for this system though?

should be, could be a sloppy unit that got through QA or a loose connection

Could it be motherboard bios version or anything like that?

if u didnt change any settings that means u didnt set ur ram timings to the proper spd ratings either, it could pass memtest but still be unstable , u should set them to their rated spd timings

some bios have the info of showing the spd timing table in the bios

 

however if u dont have that u can check ur ram kit timings on product number

 

also if ur mobo supports XMP profile , picking a xmp profile will automaticly set the ram timings, make sure if it overclocks ur cpu to set it back to stock ( cpu only )

I’ve tried all this and I finally got windows installed but keep getting blue screens... I’m redownloading a new windows installation to see if it changes anything.... got to play pubg on ultra for about 20 mins and then blue screen, can’t wait to fix this
