    BSOD while gaming; Memory Management, System Thread Exc., IRQL Not...


    I've looked far and wide through these forums searching for the cause, but I'm at my technological wits end to go further alone. I've recently rebuilt my PC; new CPU, new ram, new gpu, new mobo... it should all be fine, I think, but I'm getting these errors only when I'm playing video games.

    SYSTEM SPECS:
    MOBO: MSI B350 GAMING PRO
    GPU: EVGA GTX 1060 6GB
    RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (8x2GB) 2400
    CPU: Ryzen 5 1600

    I've checked and monitored the temps, and they seem to be fine.

    I ran windows memory diagnostic
    , and that came back clean.

    I've run memtest86 for about 3 passes per stick, and it seemed okay... going to do a more comprehensive test of this tonight, once I go to bed.

    These are the whocrashed results.

    I honestly don't know what else to do. Maybe a more comprehensive eight-hour memtest will yield some results, but if somebody could help me with the dumps just to make sure it isn't drivers/there aren't any explicit obvious signs that point to a fault... that would be very helpful.

    Thank you for reading.

    Hi warpapa ,

    The bsod mini dump files when debugged indicate memory problems.

    1) Run memtest86+ version 5.01 for at least 8 runs.

    This may take many hours so plan to run it overnight.
    Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool
    When Memtest86+ has completed 8 or more runs use a camera or a smart phone camera to make an image of the results to post into the thread.
    Memory problems. - Microsoft Community

    MemTest86+ - Test RAM Windows 10 BSOD Tutorials

    It may take 1 - 2 hours /GB RAM for the testing to complete 8 passes.
    Anything less that 8 passes is an incomplete test and is wasting time.
    If there is 1 error that is a failed test and testing can be aborted.
    There is 16 GB of RAM on 2 DIMM
    If testing both RAM at one time displays 1 error then stop testing both and test 1 RAM at a time in the same DIMM.
    This will differentiate the good from the malfunctioning RAM.
    If both RAM pass in the same DIMM then check the next DIMM with the RAM that passed.
    This will then check the DIMM/MB

    Again the time does not differentiate good from bad testing.
    It is the number of passes.
    Anything less that 8 passes has too high an incidence of false negatives.
    That is it indicates RAM is ok because the testing was inadequate.
    The more passes that are made the less the problems with false negatives.
    Please use a camera to make a picture and post the image or images into the thread.



    2) open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste:
    3) sfc /scannow
    4) dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

    5) When these have completed > right click on the top bar or title bar of the administrative command prompt box > left click on edit then select all > right click on the top bar again > left click on edit then copy > paste into the thread

    Woowee! That all took some time, but here we go.

    Step 1. Memtest 86 Results - took pictures and saved the html results. Pictures first (of both screens after it completed) and then the HTML results. I'll post an imgur link and also upload the direct files.

    Hello warpapa :)

    I noticed that there is a more recent BIOS for your system that might have some improved memory compatibility. This would be worth trying.

    Do you think at this point I can just overwrite the memtest86 USB? I'm not really sure how to update bios... I heard I just need to download the file for the update to my USB, and run m-flash?

    Also, thanks for all the help so far.

    The memtest86 USB will be very useful for future testing so it would be worth keeping it but if you do not have another USB drive then you will just have to reuse it and create it again later.

    The BIOS update process is well documented on the MSI website, there is both a video and pdf file:

    Tentatively seems the BIOS update has fixed all my problems... I'll monitor it for the next day or two; thank you, Philc! :)

    chkdsk /scan

    When this has completed > right click on the top bar or title bar of the administrative command prompt box > left click on edit then select all > right click on the top bar again > left click on edit then copy > paste into the thread



    2) turn off windows fast startup:

    3) ordinarily we have all OP use memtest86+ for testing memory as the software testing differs by each vendor.
    What can we do to make the link to click on easier for the next OP?
    Should there be more links so that they are easier to find?
    Should a comment be made to only use one web site?
    Should a comment be made not to use the other web sites?
    Please indicate how you made the choice?

    4) please post a follow up zip after a few more days of monitoring:
