Random BSoD Triggering Boot Loop with More BSoDs

Ferris · 23 Dec 2016

I built this computer roughly three weeks ago, and for the first two weeks it was running fine. In the last week though, I've been getting random blue screens that send my computer into a loop of more blue screens for the next ~5-10 minutes. Eventually the computer tries running auto-repair, finds nothing to repair, and starts up normally . . . only to have the process repeat some amount of time later.

The stop codes I've seen are as follows:
KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (most common)
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (in one instance, listed the source as volsnap.sys; otherwise, no more info)
and just today, CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED.

There doesn't seem to be any consistent pattern to the crashes. They've happened while I was playing Fallout, installing mods through Nexus Mod Manager, and just sitting here trying to find similar problems on the forums.

I'm going through the BSoD posting instructions right now. I've uploaded the archive generated by the log collector tool.

If it helps, my specs:
Motherboard: MSI Z170a Gaming Pro
CPU: Intel i7-6700K
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws 4x4GB
Graphic Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 1070

I'm so lost here. I've tried reinstalling Windows, running a disk check (passed), running a memory test (all RAM cards passed), reseating the RAM in case a card had come loose (no difference) . . . and the computer was working fine for two weeks, so I have no idea what's going wrong.

Hi Ferris,

Welcome to the 10forums :)

What memory test did you run? I assume it is the built-in memory test, because all others I know don't mention that a card has completely pasesd (you can run those tests infinitely)
