Hey guys,
I just updated my wife's mobo, cpu, and ram.
Mobo gigabyte Z370 hd3
Cpu 8600k
Ram corsair vengeance lpx 2400 16GB
At the same time, I upgraded my mobo and cpu to the same, except I got g skillz (note I'm not having any issues)
Now her comp is completely flipping out. BSOD for critical structural failure, memory management, ntfs.sys, page fault in nonpaging area, dxgkrnl.sys
She tried a fresh install of windows 10 pro, then said screw it and tried to install sparky Linux gameover edition, then when that wouldn't install (freeze while unsquashing image file) she went back to fresh install of windows 10 pro.
I've ran the scannow, ran all the dism checks and restores, ran disk checks in admin command prompt, ran windows mem test, reset bios, and updated all the drivers (I think). Only test I haven't ran is the official memtest everyone talks about (will run it tomorrow).
Note: it would bsod within seconds of opening a game. Then I turned on xmp profile 1 in bios, and that seemed to stabilize games for awhile. She was able to play for about 30 mins, then a unity crash. Another 30 mins, then a unity crash and back to BSOD critical structure failure.
Also note: no overclock at this time. I did a minimal overclock for her right when we set everything up the first time (45, it boosts itself to 43 already) and it bsod'd. I figured the voltage wasn't high enough for the oc or something, so I just reset defaults.
I really thought I had fixed everything after turning on the xmp profile. Left the computer on for a couple of hours after briefly testing a game and it was fine. I'm totally at a loss now.
From my reading, all signs point to ram. Given the crazy amount of different errors I'm getting though, what do you guys think? Could it be that I just need to get another windows key off kinguin, or something else? Any and all help is appreciated, thanks for taking the time to read this.
