Hello,
Long story short - I'm casually browsing the web and all of a sudden my PC completely freezes and first thing I do is reboot. First few seconds into the desktop the mouse disappears and PC freezes again. This continues for a few more times until I start getting BSODs (DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL) at random intervals, sometimes on desktop, sometimes on windows boot logo. I google the bsod title and every post says its either faulty driver or bad memory. I assumed it would be bad RAM because I didn't install anything new prior to these problem. After couple of hours I'm trying to boot with just the core components installed (CPU and RAM). No storage, no GPU, nothing else yet I'm still getting BSODs left and right when its trying to boot into windows or into automatic repair. I couldn't even get the minidumps as I couldn't stay a minute without a BSOD. Fast forward a few days and I get a new CPU (6600K) to try instead of my old 6700K and it boots without a problem on first try on the same Windows copy, same motherboard, same memory, same everything except the CPU. I still thought maybe its just some specific driver conflicting with my old CPU so I got a fresh OS copy and tried booting with my 6700K. Before I can even boot into the new window, BSOD. The BSODs also varied as I got an odd SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION or ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY from time to time. There were more that I can't remember at the moment. So it's 100% CPU fault at here and I'm wondering if anyone has ran into similar problems before.
Thanks in advance.
