Since updating my GPU to a new 1070 I have had consistent crashes while gaming or just browsing online. BSODs are all memory related errors (MEMORY_MANAGMENT, PFN_LIST_CORRUPT, PAGE FAULT IN NON PAGED AREA, etc.). I have also had downloads that crash or BSOD while installing.
System
- Motherboard : Asus Maximus IV Extreme-Z EATX LGA1155 Motherboard
- GPU : Asus GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Video Card (Old: ASUS GeForce GTX670 Directcu II 2GB)
- Processor : Intel Core i7-2600K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
- RAM : Mushkin Redline 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2400 Memory
- PSU :Corsair Professional 750W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
- Set Windows : 10 Home 64bit Build 14393
No overclocking with the only change being to set the DRAM timings to what was written on the sticks.
So far I have tried
- Ran MS Memory Diagnostic (Came back clean)
- Reseating RAM sticks and GPU
- Using DDU to uninstall NVIDIA drivers and then installed new ones
- Confirmed GPU BIOS was up to date
- sfc /scannow
- chkdsk /f and /r
This was built for the most part by a friend (so I'm still pretty much a beginner at all this), but the computer has functioned near perfect for the past 4.5 years so it seems to me that the new GPU is having a bad interaction with my system. I also worry that my system may not be compatible with the new card. I did check if it was compatible online and with Microcenter in person before buying the card.
I am looking for some next steps to try that could help to at least diagnose the cause of the issues. Any suggestions would be very welcome.
