Hello,

First my specs are

Ryzen 1600x @ 3.7
16GB DDR4 CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX 3000
MSI B350 TOMAHAWK
700P/S
GTX 1070 MSI


so i just recently had a huge computer failure after I tried doing a clean install of windows.

I upgraded my BIOS and was immediately prompted with a message stating my RAM were in the wrong slots, since moving them to the slots it allocated I have been having major crashes in games.

I know it is not the ram because prior to updating the bios I never had these problems. I have also tried to GPU's and am still getting the same crash errors.

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

My question:

Could the new Bios frrom MSI be causing me these issues? Would anyone recommend downgrading my bios?

Thanks in advance.

I would downgrade it back to where it was when you got it. Don't update BIOS unless you need to add support for new hardware or to fix very specific issues you are having. All software has bugs, including every single new BIOS. Learn that lesson for the future. Don't upgrade or fix anything if it isn't broken.

just because they release new drivers doesn't mean you need to install them either. that 'logic' will get you into lots of trouble. Update drivers to fix specific issues you are having, such as latencies or performance or bugs.

once you flash bios back to older version, do a reset to defaults and boot, then install. put your ram back where they were working.

Thank you for the advice. I am going to downgrade the BIOS right now and will report back if I am having issues.

I think that fixed my issue. No crashes since I rolled back.

Thank you all for your help.
