New Custom Build - BSOD within Games
Hi all,
around a month ago I build a new PC for Gaming purpose.
This is the hardware I chose:
Fractal Design Define S
Corsair CP-9020056-EU RM850
Asus Z170 Pro Gaming
Intel Core i7-6700K Prozessor
be quiet! BK019 Dark Rock Pro 3 CPU-Kühler
Corsair CMK32GX4M4A2400C14 Vengeance LPX 32GB
MSI GeForce GTX 970 Gaming 4G, 4GB GDDR5
Samsung SSD 850 Evo 500GB
Corsair K70 RGB, MX Brown, Gen2
EVGA TORQ X10, carbon
Asus VG248QE
After a fresh new install of Windows 10 I started gaming on Assassins Creed Unity. After a while I got BSODs stating IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (note: without the term DRIVER!). I first thought the game is just buggy, but I am getting these issues with AC Syndicate as well. So I started using benchmark tools like Furmark (3 hours) and Memtest (12 hours), but I did not get any BSODs. The next strange thing is that my BSODs never created dump files, I RARELY saw the BSOD message as the PC was just freezing and giving distorted sounds. I had a lot BSODs while gaming (every 30 minutes) and I only had two or three times the BSOD message. The message got stuck at 0% when stating that dump files will be generated. I checked after each crash, there were no dump files.
When I was forcing a BSOD using testing tools I saw my Windows generating the dump files, so I was sure windows would have generated them if possible. However, after testing with benchmarks and all, I decided to reformat my SSD and install a fresh new Windows 10 and only drivers as well as AC Syndicate. I left the game running a few hours and had no issues. A few days later the BSODs came back, but not in the same frequency, it was better but still not good.
However, I heard the new Skylake Processors encountering a bugcheck when calculating primes, so I waited for a BIOS update. I applied the update version 1104 from here: ASUS USA
Today I had the chance to test if it was changing something. I had hope it would fix the Skylake issue and I thought that may be the reason why my PC was freezing, however I encountered another BSOD - but this time, it was another message and Windows finally did generate some dump files!
UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP
I saved the MEMORY.DMP file from C:\WINDOWS as well, it is around 1 GB.
Howver, please find the ZIP attached generated from dm_log_collector.exe: Attachment 61772
I hope you will be able to help me out...
Cheers,
Neunzehn
PS:
Just realized there is an update 1105 for my BIOS, will test and let you know in a while...
