Many different BSODs after RAM upgrade
Hi,
I have a GL 702ZC laptop which comes with 16 GB of DDR4 2400mhz Samsung PC4-19200. I decided to install another 16 GB of RAM: the Ballistix Sport LT DDR4-2666 PC4-21300 listed as compatible with the notebook as You can see here: RAM SSD Upgrades | ASUS ROG Strix GL702ZC | Crucial EU.
After installing the new RAM, i updated the BIOS to the last version and began to test the 32 GB of RAM to be sure that everything was fine.
I did: 16 sessions of HCI-memtest, 32 GB of RAM tested, 400% pass on each session got 0 errors on all the sessions, Windows 10 memory test, got 0 errors, 4 pass on memtest86 got 0 errors, 2 h of Prime95 both blend and small FFT, got 0 problems, Cinbench R15 multiple runs and 0 problems, Heaven and Superposition benchmarks (multiple runs) and got 0 problems. So I was happy with the new RAM. Until 7 days ago, when my laptop began to crash after few minutes in Windows and sometimes at the log in page (so sometimes I can't even log in). After few crashes, the system suddenly stop to have problems and let me work in peace even when I use CAD or FEM softwares with intense workloads. The crashes only occurs on cold boot (the laptop has been off for a night for example).
The BSODs I got are:
APC_INDEX_MISMATCH
SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (fastfat.SYS)
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (Ntfs.sys)
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (aswbidsdriver.sys)
SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (win32kfull.sys)
MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (atikmdag.sys)
Until now I have tried:
the error check (right click on the C unit->Properties->Instruments) and got 0 errors
the sfc /scannow command in the Command Prompt (run as Admin) and got 0 errors.
Uninstalled the external antivirus, and uninstalled the AMD software with the amdcleanuputility and reinstalled the drivers.
But I still get these BSODs.
Please help.
Thanks.
