New win 10 build, BSOD on the reg  

Calling it a night, but will pick up form there in the morning.

Thanks again for the help.

I got the 11-6-20 drivers to install. Others I tried along the way crashed during install or shortly after. Will test, see how it goes

Still crashin'. Tried 4 different driver dates. No luck.

Restarted into safe mode with networking and had a near immediate BSOD

Let's try it without networking

It idled at desktop with a screensaver overnight in safe mode without networking. Progress?

If still behaving without networking, it once again is pointing to a network driver problem.
Refresh me, do you have a separate card or is the port built in to the motherboard?

What does Snail say?

Snail says:



Network adapter is integrated into the mobo. Asrock B550 Steel Legend.

Prior to the clean install, I did try letting snail update the drivers. At that point, it had flagged the network card and PCI bus. After running snail, I continued to crash, so I reinstalled Win10 and here we are.

Try/borrow an ethernet card & test.

I already tried disabling integrated NIC and connecting to interwebz with a usb wifi dongle. Still crashed.

Would ethernet card make a difference?

"Would ethernet card make a difference?"
No idea, that's why I suggested borrow. If we don't try, we will never know & keep going around in circles.

What setting is XMP in the Bios?

I can try and borrow one, but would be a few days at the soonest. Would a different wifi adapter be suitable? Not sure exactly what this experiment is seeking to prove or disprove.

Not sure about XMP settings. I googled it and that seems to be an intel thing for overclocking ram? I haven't overclocked anything, BIOS is version P1.90, OEM settings other than boot orders.
