    BSOD every cold start


    Hi,

    I'm getting BSOD every cold start of my PC every day. After rebooting everything runs fine.
    The system is new (it was built a week ago). memtest86 showed no errors and clean windows reinstall didn't help as well.
    Yesterday I updated all drivers/BIOS via MSI live update, and today I've got a new error - this time it was DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION (I have never seen this error before).

    Let me know if you need any additional information (tests, system info etc.)

    Here is my system spec:
    Computer type: PC/Desktop
    OS :Windows 10
    CPU: Intel Core i7 6700
    Motherboard: MSI Z170A Gaming M7
    Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB 2400MHz (2x8GB)
    Graphics Card(s): NVidia GeForce GTX970

    dm_log_collector results: Attachment 69945
    CPU-Z results: Attachment 69947

    Thank you,
    Yurii

    Diagnostic Test

     DRIVER VERIFIER


    warning   Warning
    Please make a backup of your important files and get your rescue media or create one.
    Please create a restore point.

    Please follow this tutorial to run driver verifier.

    Some windows drivers are blamed in a few crashes, but that usually means that a 3rd party driver is actually the cause.
    Driver verifier stresses your drivers and will crash your pc if any driver fails due to a violation.

    Driver verifier should be performed for a max of 48 hours, or when you have a bluescreen, whatever comes first.

    If driver verifier has found a violation and you can't get back into windows normally, try to boot into safe mode and reset in safe mode driver verifier, or in the troubleshooting options open command prompt and type verifier /reset.

    Note   Note
    Your system will act very sluggishly while driver verifier is enabled, this is normal as your drivers will be being subjected to heavy testing in order to make them crash.


    Please fill in your system specs
    Please follow this tutorial and download the tool. The tool will give you detailed information about your system specs, please fill in your system specs more completely including PSU, cooling system and other used stuff. PSU, cooling system and other used stuff are not mentioned in the tool!

    Hey Axe0 how come you haven't even responded to my thread in over 15 hours? I need your help, linked a new dump and am telling you that I am having problems with the BSOD. I am surprised.

    Oh didn't know that and I am sorry. It's just I have seen you skip over my thread and answer others for a lot of hours now. I am frustrated and even put up a new dump file. The BSOD keeps happening every time I play a game and quit. Within 3 minutes the Driver Power State Failure BSOD appears and restarts my computer. Could you please quickly look at my new dump file and give your thoughts? Thx

    I've skipped many threads, some because I forgot, others due to the amount of new threads that are frequently created, but all OP's have kindly reminded me about it in the way I asked for in my signature :)

    So would you mind quickly looking at my thread and new dump file and give me your latest suggestions?? Thx. I am sitting here right now with a barely functioning laptop any time I play a game.

    Hi, thank you for a quick reply.
    Today I've got a new BSOD - this time MEMORY_MANAGEMENT. Updated dm_log_collector results: Attachment 70164
    I'm currently running Driver Verifier, if there will be any new details I will post them as soon as possible.
    Also I updated my specification.

    Thank you once again!:)

    It is best to wait until verifier crashes your system, or not, before another suggestion is being made.

    Hi again,

    I was running Driver Verifier over 48 hours and had no crash. I still have BSOD each cold start (BAD_POOL_HEADER) but I noticed quite strange behavior - on Monday I passed memtest with no errors, but yesterday I got like 60 or so. Could this be due to CPU and memory incompatibility? I have non-K i7 (stupid decision, but "oh well...") and 2400MHz memory. BIOS shows that it runs on 2133MHz as it should by default. Once just after finishing my build I enabled XMP profile and it was running at 2400MHz, but then I disabled it. Today I will try to clear cmos just to eliminate any possible issues due to my curly hands:)

    Maybe you have any other ideas regarding what might be wrong?

    Thank you,
    Yurii
