ntoskrnl.exe BSOD

[zokizoki]

Ever since I overhauled my old PC build, I've been getting constant BSOD's, mainly when starting up games. However I have experienced random crashes. After using bluescreenviewer, I found that the cause of the problem was ntoskrnl.exe, and after some research, learned that there are many different solutions, at least I think there is. My PC is also very slow when only running one 8g stick of RAM (I was testing them). The errors are mostly IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION, and DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION.

My specs are:
GPU: GTX 1080
CPU: i7 8700k
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB
PSU:Corsair CX750m (i think)

Here is the minidump: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AjDvxtu_1aIi1TWHZJo56dhXpfC9

I am very convinced that this is a RAM problem, however after 8 passes in memtest86 there were 0 errors, so I'm completely stumped! ;(

I typically run MemTest overnight. You'd be surprised what can show up after an extended run.

I'll check out the minidump in a moment.

If you can, upload all the ones you have, it will help.

I ran it from 4 pm to when I woke up, so I was rather disheartened when I saw 0 errors. Here's the other minidump:https://1drv.ms/u/s!AjDvxtu_1aIi1Tb7T8Ni_6nWBH9w

Thanks you your help!

OK, crash dump says this is a driver fault from UplayService.exe

Not certain what this is, but looks like somethig from Ubisoft.

I'll check the other dump files and see what I get. Hang tight...

Sounds about right, I usually test to see if I crash by running Siege, which usually will crash it. However, I also crash when starting ARK and in the middle of a CSGO match.

This one is a lot trickier. It's a massive code corruption caused by the system trying to access RAM that's currently in use.

Typically bad drivers cause this, which could be the Uplay thing again, but it's not directly referenced.

 

Got any more dump files for me to look at? Might help with a 3rd or 4th dump to pinpoint the issue.

But overall, I'd look into that Uplay program and perhaps uninstall/reinstall

Unfortunately I only have those two dumps. What do you advise I do? When I got my new HDD (I had BSOD before and after) I did a complete new reinstall of drivers, just as a side note.

Hmmm...tricky.

I'd update Uplay for starters, assuming it can be done (I know, for example, Steam automatically updates itself, can't speak for Uplay)

Test non-UPlay-reliant games. If they do not crash, then we know what the issue is.

If the other games DO crash, then we have a larger issue.

Ensure your GFX card drivers are current.

 

As always, check for malware/spyware/viruses.

I assume your system doesn't bluescreen when you are NOT playing games? Or does it?

Well it for sure isn't just Uplay games, it is steam games too. When I first got my new HDD, I got a BSOD within 20 minutes of the first boot while I was transferring some files. My driver is up to date as well. I did just BSOD a second ago, so here is the new minidump: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AjDvxtu_1aIi1Te8Sj1EAqGW1OlF

Sorry for the delay. Work got in the way.

It's another memory corruption trying to allocate RAM as virtual memory (or probably allocate hard drive space)

At this point I'm leaning towards one of two things:

 

Total corruption of your OS (in which case, back up data, wipe slick and re-install)

or something bad with your mobo. Which mobo do you use?

Z-370-a is my mobo, but I do not have a legit version of windows. I find the chances slim that after two installs of windows it still isn't working, but that might be the issue. I'll see what I can do.

Non legit huh?

Not good. Where did you get it from?

 

If you've done a clean install and it still goes stupid, then your board might be bad

Take out all sticks of RAM, but one, put one in in the 1st slot (away from the CPU) and test. See what happens

I got it from some site selling windows 10 copies for $20, my cousin used it and his PC worked fine. Currently working on a fresh install now.
