Hello All,

The other day, I built a new system. The specs are as follows.

Gigabyte Gaming 7 Motherboard (F7 bios)
Intel 6700k
2x 1080 GTX
64GB G-Skill Ram
2x Samsung pro 950 m.2 raid 0
H100i cooling

After spending a lot of time getting windows to finally load with the raid 0, the computer ran awesome for about 2 days. Last night, I was playing WoW and watching tv on seconds screen. All of a sudden, the computer took a crap. Ok, no big deal. Windows restarts but it died again. Over and over. I say to myself, well, let me reinstall the OS. I go to install the OS and it crashes. Over and over. Sometimes I can't even load into the install process. Sometimes I can get all the way through and, upon reboot, it crashes. So after that, I removed all the ram and started trying to install windows with one stick in each Dimm slot at a time. Still nothing. I am using a Windows 10 Pro USB stick (from Microsoft) to load the OS and it worked perfectly the first time. These are the errors I am getting.

1. Driver_override_stack_buffer
2. System_thread_exception_not_handled
3. Page_fault_in_nonpaged_area
4. IRQL_not_less_or_equal
5. Memory management
6. Oxc0000001
7. Attempted_execute_of_non_execute_memory

There was also a (ACPI.SYS) mention at the end of either the page fault or IRQL not less or equal, bug report but it went away too fast for me to get a clear look.

I have even tried to load windows 7 with a DVD disc I have and still nothing. Same errors happen. I ordered new memory that was from the approved list on Gigabytes website. Should be here tomorrow. Any other thoughts?

I have no OC features on and I reset the motherboard to factory settings. Temps on the CPU were 25c last night when it crashed. The PSU is an EVGA supernova 13000 G2. I have the second card removed but I will remove the first card and try again.

After trying with just the on-board video, I got a new error.
Kernal_autoboost_invalid_lock_release. Although, after multiple attempts, I am still randomly getting the same errors I listed above. The most being the IRQL_not_less_or_equal.

Thanks for the reply.

There are two. Right between the pci express ports. Additionally, just for clarification, I can get windows to load sometimes. However, once it reboots after the "rebooting in 10 seconds" message, it crashes again. I can never get past that. It doesn't matter if I have all or none of my hardware (video card/s, hard drives, memory, USB sticks, etc) installed.

So, memtest86 ran for 10 hours with no errors. I unplugged everything from the power supply but the motherboard connections and one sata for the old style hard drive. I even reset the cmos. I tried to update the bios with a USB drive that I used to update it before and it wouldn't work but worked just fine before. It kept saying, invalid bios. I tried unsuccessfully to install windows 10 via USB and Windows 7 via DVD to any of the hard drives I have. I have a new motherboard, memory and power supply arriving tomorrow. All I can think of is that the motherboard is faulty but I had already ordered those parts so we'll see.

You and me both. I've had bad ram, hard drives, motherboards, and even power supplies, but I've never had a bad cpu. Especially from Intel. And no, I didn't do any kind of over clocking at all. After throwing the new cpu in, the computer has run like a champ.
