    Multiple BSODs / New build / Lurking for a month


    Hello,

    So, I am have been having multiple BSODs from day 0 with my new PC build. I will try to be as thorough as I can to help you help me. I have been lurking and troubleshooting since early February, when my build began. I have clean installed (formatted primary drive every time, formatted secondary drives once) Windows about 3 times now chasing BSODs. I am at my wits end and am calling in for backup (I prefer to figure things out on my own since I then learn from it). My PC serves two roles, Gaming and Virtualization. Ideally, I would be dual booting Windows 10 for light gaming with my son and Debian for work/programming/virtualization.

    Home built PC:
    Mobo: Asus H170 Pro Gaming
    CPU: I7 6700K
    RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX - 32GB
    GPU: Nvidia GTX 970
    PSU: Corsair HX850 (old, ~4yrs, did not replace for this build)
    Primary HDD: Samsung 850 256GB
    Secondaries: Samsung 840 256GB (old, from last system, zeroed before first boot with the new system)
    WD Green 2TB (old, from last system, zeroed before first boot with the new system)

    In February, I built the PC, installed Win10, setup dual boot with Debian, received several BSODs in Win10s (I do not have these dumps, but they were of the IRQL, memory corruption, --- memory related). So, I ran memtest on my RAM, did 2 passes, came back passed/no issues. I figured I would then get it stable with just Windows 10 before attempting a dual boot system. Fresh installed Win10, loaded all drivers from ASUS' support site, updated BIOS, configured Windbg, and started monitoring event viewer. Several similiar BSODs later, decided it may be the ASMedia USB3.1 driver. Removed it, allowed Win10 to install the ASMedia driver from Windows updates. Had a slight stability increase and pressed forward. I then stressed tested with Prime95 for 30 mins, FurMark for 30 mins, and ran memtest again for 3 passes. Still BSODing.
    Ran driver verifier, narrowed it down to some old 32bit drivers for my mouse and VMWare Workstation, uninstalled both. Still BSODing. OK, let's do a fresh install, install the NIC firmware (Windows doesn't detect it) and let Windows push in the drivers, nothing from me. Ran memtest for 6 passes. Increased stability. Sweet. Setup dual booting with Ubuntu. On Windows, further installed Intel's Engine for my chipset, allowed NVidia to update to the current driver, installed Samsung Magician, and I am still BSODing, but with new (to me) exceptions. Now, I am getting KMODE and System Thread exception BSODs.

    If it's any relevance, when I was dual booting with Debian (and now with Ubuntu), they too were complaining. Every time it could not list the fault and I didn't do my due diligence by reading the logs (I would get frustrated because I was already working and would switch to my laptop).

    Attached is the zip file from your forum posting guidelines. I am ready to listen to some Ghetto Boys and take a bat to this PC.

    Edit: I am currently running driver verifier, but it hasn't caught anything as of yet.
    Edit2: BSOD directly after making this post. Attached is the *.dmp file with a *.txt extension.

    Edit3: Noticed the updatelog from the forum tool used the wrong PS call. Attached is the output from Get-WindowsUpdateLog.

    Please remove the file of edit2, the content becomes unreadable when you change the extension.

    About the windowsupdate.log, I don't understand much about it but you have a few Windows Update failure Windows Error Reports.

    If you have driver verifier enabled,Please disable driver verifier
    • Open an admin command prompt
    • Enter "verifier/reset" (without quotes)


    There is enough data to say that you have hardware problems,
    • Clean install doesn't help,
    • Driver verifier doesn't flag any drivers,
    • Some dumps show 'hardware' as 'probable cause'.

    Diagnostic Test

     RAM TEST


    Run MemTest86+ to analyse your RAM. MemTest86+ - Test RAM - Windows 10 Forums

    Note   Note


    MemTest86+ needs to be run for at least 8 complete passes for conclusive results. Set it running before you go to bed and leave it overnight. We're looking for zero errors here. Even a single error will indicate RAM failure.

    Addition:
    If errors show up you can stop the test, remove all sticks but 1 and test this single stick in each slot for 8 passes or until errors show, switch sticks and repeat.
    If errors show up and you see them a lot later, no problem, the errors don't affect the test.

     HDD TEST


    Run SeaTools to check the integrity of your HDD. SeaTools for DOS and Windows - How to Use - Windows 7 Help Forums
    Run following tests
    1. Short Drive Self Test
    2. Short generic
    3. Long generic

    If the short generic fails, no need for the long generic.
    Note   Note
    Do not run SeaTools on an SSD as the results will be invalid.

    It may take some time, but please take the time you need to perform it properly.
    Let me know what the results are

    Alright, ran all tests except for memtest. Last time, at 6 passes, this took ~30 hrs. I will initiate memtest after this post, however. All tests came back fine.
    SSD Firmware: Current for both.
    Bios Voltages:
    3.3v - 3.296
    5v - 5.000
    12v - 12.096
    SeaTools: Passed all 3 tests
    CheckDisk came back ok for all 3 drives.
    HDTune error check came back clean on all 3 drives. Attached are the screenshots for CPU-Z and HDTune.

    What are the XMP possibilities in the BIOS?

    There are two options for XMP:
    Disabled (Current value)
    Profile 1 - XMP DDR4-2133 13-15-15-28-1.20v

    I have tried both options before in the past without any noticeable difference. On Monday of this week, I had selected Profile 1 and last night, prior to running memtest, I had put it back to Disabled. Do you still want me to run memtest? I had to quit the test to check the XMP BIOS settings.

    I only want to make sure no OC'ing is present :)
    OC'ing pushes the component (a bit), this may cause problems on unstable systems which is why I want to make sure there is no OC'ing.

    No worries friend, no OCing present. It's a slight mismatch because of the K-series CPU and non overclocking mobo, but it is what it is. Are there any other tests you want me to run? Any likely suspects yet?

    For now only everything of hardware that can cause memory corruption is a suspect,
    • Hard drive,
    • RAM,
    • Mainboard,
    • PSU, power problems can cause various of problems
    • GPU (vram, didn't see anything about vram, this can be ignored)

    You could also run a live linux, without installation, it runs only on the memory so if it crashes either the memory or the mainboard is the cause. This can be used for as long as you want.

    A lot of errors within the first 30 minutes Most were unidentifiable by report, but a few seemed likes issues loading gnome aptk. I started memtest and will let it go for 8+ passes. Expect it not to be complete until the end of the weekend.
