    Very strange BSOD, once a week with no obvious solutions


    Hi

    I've seen many BSODs over the years, and I've been able to solve them all until this one..
    So a friend of mine has been having BSODs for a few months now, since he bought a new PC for work. And I'm writing here because I recommended the components and the computer shop put it together. I feel a bit responsible.

    The thing is that he bought 2 PCs, identical hardware, identical software that's being used for work. One of them gets a BSOD, maybe once a month, sometimes every week.

    Typically it's RAM, so he bought a new RAM kit, some G-skill royals, still.. the same issue, random BSOD.

    The only thing that's not typical in the PC build, is that he has 2 GPUs (GTX 1070), since he needs like 6 monitors.

    I can get the full list of software and hardware later, but the PC has an ASUS Workstation motherboard, intel 9900K CPU, 32G of g-skill ram, samsung 970 pro ssd and the latest windows 10 installed. No games, just a few software installs and browsers.

    BSOD stop code: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

    I asked for the dump file from the last BSOD (Today)

    So I will copy some of the outputs from windbg here. I'm sure you have more experience and hopefully can help with this BSOD.

    * Bugcheck Analysis *

    *******************************************************************************

    UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP (7f)
    This means a trap occurred in kernel mode, and it's a trap of a kind
    that the kernel isn't allowed to have/catch (bound trap) or that
    is always instant death (double fault). The first number in the
    bugcheck params is the number of the trap (8 = double fault, etc)
    Consult an Intel x86 family manual to learn more about what these
    traps are. Here is a *portion* of those codes:
    If kv shows a taskGate
    use .tss on the part before the colon, then kv.
    Else if kv shows a trapframe
    use .trap on that value
    Else
    .trap on the appropriate frame will show where the trap was taken
    (on x86, this will be the ebp that goes with the procedure KiTrap)
    Endif
    kb will then show the corrected stack.
    Arguments:
    Arg1: 0000000000000008, EXCEPTION_DOUBLE_FAULT
    Arg2: ffffd0017dfe0e50

    This says that motherboard might be injured, among other things, not much help.

    Still the same issue


    So this issue still exists. Random crashes

    I would appreciate it if someone could take a look :)

    Attachment 307512

    What have I tried? I bought a new RAM from a different vendor. Did not help.

    IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)
    An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
    interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high. This is usually
    caused by drivers using improper addresses.
    If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace.
    Arguments:
    Arg1: 0000000000000000, memory referenced
    Arg2: 0000000000000002, IRQL
    Arg3: 0000000000000001, bitfield :
    bit 0 : value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
    bit 3 : value 0 = not an execute operation, 1 = execute operation (only on chips which support this level of status)
    Arg4: fffff807092dff48, address which referenced memory


    Bsod at random times, once a week. Once it even happened twice on the same day.
    It's an office pc, so it's really disrupting the workflow.

    Solved it!

    The issue was a USB-connected UPS. After removing the UPS, no more bluescreens. I guess it had a bad driver conflict.
    I've had issues with other USB devices before, so a good thing to keep in mind.
