Hello peeps,
I built a custom computer, most components from amazon.
i7 6700k
asus z170
corsair 16gb
those 3 are from amazon
( 1tb PNY ssd, evga 980 ti are from my old rig)
This build has been running flawlessly for about 3 weeks, starting yesterday I kept getting blue screen crashes every time with a different code-
all related to Power kernel 41
I tried everything and every solution on every form- I got the bluescreenview too and did more resreach.
1. I did a fresh install of windows from a boot usb - problem still presisted
2. I tried 1 single ram then the other- problem presists - I ran mem test it passed
3. I installed windows again from usb- still crashes
4. I installed windows media tool and choose the upgrade option -
computer has not crashed for 6 hours straight- played some games that i was able to install for about 2 hours no problems
- the biggest thing is that I have not installed the lastest nvida drivers, updated windows, or installed AI suit 3.
I am not sure if I should update drivers and install the AI suit 3
also 1 crash occured early at the morning at 8 am same error code, nothing since then and its 12am right now.
- my main concern is do you think the hardware may be faulty, should I order a replacement from amazon for my i7 and mobo, last day to order replacement is the 5th.
- btw I did secure erase the first 2x before installing windows from boot usb- the 3rd time I did not do that. I was thinking of formatting the drive nd reinstalling windows not sure if that is any different
- I am just not sure if I should replace my components to be on the safe side, I dont want to deal with RMA after the 30 day with amazon
Please help this problem has consumed my passed two days :/
sorry for the long post any help is appreciated!
