Hi. I really hope somebody can help me with this endless frustrating problem.
So I built this computer back in July and these are its specs,
-ASRock Z270 KILLER SLI/AC LGA 1151 Intel Z270 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Motherboards - Intel
-Intel Core i7-7700K Kaby Lake Quad-Core 4.2 GHz LGA 1151 91W BX80677I77700K Desktop Processor
-G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3000 (PC4 24000) Desktop Memory Model
-Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan
-MSI GeForce GTX 750 Ti DirectX 12 N750 Ti-2GD5TLP 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card
-EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 Power Supply - ATX12V/EPS12V - 110 V AC, 220 V AC Input Voltage - 3.3 V DC, 5 V DC, 12 V
-Toshiba OCZ TRION 150 2.5" 480GB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) TRN150-25SAT3-480G
-WD Black 2TB Performance Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD2003FZEX
The computer ran with no problems to my awareness, and I installed Windows 10 on it and it was fine. My little brother uses the computer alot because its really his, I was building it for him. Anyway about a month later my mom tells me something is wrong with the computer so I go and look at it. It starts up and maybe 5-10 minutes go by and BSOD. I restart it again and BSOD on startup. I would get the BSOD randomly on startup or a few minutes after everything is loaded. The BSOD would be Page Fault in NonPaged Area, or if I just let the computer run through the BSOD I would get a different error like Bad Pool Header. By the way I had my OS on the ssd.
So first thing I try is restoring a previous version of windows, cause it updated at some point I think, but during the restore process it fails. Since the pc is fairly new I just decide to reinstall windows completely and erase everything on the ssd and hard drive. During the installation of windows I get another BSOD. Same couple of errors. I keep trying and it eventually installs windows until I get another BSOD at some point. So I try this memtest without installing any OS to see if I have bad ram, I get no errors after the test takes 2 hours. I then take out my ssd from that computer and out it into my own personal computer and install windows on it, it seemed to work fine and I got windows running no BSOD. I place the SSD back in the other computer and I get BSOD at some point.
Next I think it could be the motherboard, so i send it out to get fixed under warrenty, they send it back I put everything back and try to reinstall windows, still BSOD at some point. So I just say screw this and buy a brand new motherboard hoping they didnt really fix the motherboard sent back to me. I get this motherboard now
-ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VIII HERO/Whetstone LGA1151 DDR4 DP HDMI M.2 USB 3.1 Z170 ATX Motherboard
and yes of course still BSOD after I reinstall everything and try putting windows on it again.
Just yesterdayI worked with my buddy on it and we took out the ssd and just tried it on the hard drive. We got the BSOD at first but then my buddy said maybe its my bios and its not updated to support my processor so we update it, we get BSOD once and then get into the installation of windows. Everything is running so we install the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility, cause we still think something is wrong here. We do a stress test on the CPU, passes and the CPU temp ranged from 50c-75c, so perfectly fine. We do a memory stress test 4 times, with one stick then two sticks then three sticks then four sticks, and everything passes. Everything was working fine and 45 minutes have gone by. Then we wipe everything again cause we want the OS on the ssd. Everything runs smoothly and fine. After windows is installed we run windows updater to check for updates, and there is updates, so we try installing all of them. They take awhile, we get a failure at some point but we click try again. Then it tells us to restart the computer, we do that and then BSOD AGAIN. Same page fault BSOD and bad pool header. I dont know whats wrong. Im so super confused, is it the ssd thats the issue, ram, cpu???????? Please help me. I never had issues like this before. Is it a windows update but that doesnt make any sense to me why that would be the issue. Please please Im begging for any help. Thanks again to whoever.
