Hello, I just purchased a new ASRock Fatal1ty 970 performance ser1es motherboard. I reinstalled windows because my chipset changed and my computer hangs of windows updates and as the title says spits BSOD Constantly especially when under load.

System Specs:
AMD FX-6300
Cooler Master Seidon 120v
GTX 970
20 GB DDR3 RAM
ASRock Fatal1ty 970 performance ser1es
2.5 TB HDD
240 GB SSD
500w EVGA Bronze PSU

Maybe a new install of the OS. Are all the drivers up to date? You could have something starting to fail - memory or HDD causing issues - it's hard to tell without more info - like Do the BSOD's have the same errors?

20 GB DDR3 RAM - This conglomeration is likely the cause. FX-CPUs can use a matched pair of 1866MHz memory or filling all four slots you can use a single kit of 1600MHz. Mixing multiple kits is not recommended as they have never been tested together for compatibility at the factory.

Calvin7 :

I have 2 Kingston and 2 Crucial 1 or which is 8GB and i just got the crucial RAM and I was still having issues so thats not it thanks for the fast response though.

Almost every error has a different message. My most recent one was "kmode_exception_not_handled"

20gb of ram in a 4-slot board sounds like mismatched densities. Test your RAM using memtest86 -> http://memtest86.com/

Do you know the brand of memory? They will want to know when you contact the retailer and/or manufacturer. Knowing the error code displayed on the BSOD or the crash report log file that it should have created, you can often find that code with a google/bing search.

Right now I'm thinking it's the memory. I'm assuming you have 8x8x4 GB or hopefully 8x8x2x2 GB sticks, referring to the manual ensure the paired sticks. Move the 8GB sticks to the A2-B2 sockets, leave out the other 4GB and see what you get.
Still flaky: (perform these steps and test after each change)
Move the 8GB sticks to A1-B1; (If this works either of the A2-B2 slots is bad)
Remove the stick from B1; (If this works still do the next step)
Swap the 8GB sticks; (If this works then maybe B1 is bad, if not ...

Aw heck, try for an RMA for the MB.
