ITS SO FUCKING RANDOM.

Yesterday I streamed 3 hockey games for 7 hours and games for 30 minutes before BSOD, day before that I binge watched Mr. Robot before is BSOD.

Today, it happened 3 times in an hour then hasnt happened since. Forums online suggest some Windows corruption files from the switch, which may explain the expedite to a level 2 windows tech, for free mind you.

This is a joke right? Their media creation tool fails constantly when downloading an iso, nor do they provide md5 checksums. I suggest getting a better iso and doing a fresh install. This is a common issue.

>>59042608
Could have something to do with "Windows.old" after the update. A lot of people have issues after updating because of leftover files
I have no idea how you would identify the problem or even deal with that though

I fell for it hard. Everything went so fucking smoothly during the transition, and booted up perfectly with my old files in place as if windows 7 never exited. Then I got fucked hard, worst part being how arbitrary the crashes are.

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL is cause by kernel mode device drivers using improper addresses, it usually indicates a problem with your hardware configuration.

Remove all overclock and custom memory profiles, make sure your motherboard supports your new processor with firmware version, and make sure your ram is seated properly in the right slots.

Also, did you mix two kinds of ram with different timing tables together?

Use something other than the Windows test. It can take like 48 hours to find a fault. Double check you got the right timing and voltage in BIOS though. Test 1 stick at a time.

I had a similar issue not long ago with my ram. The machine would work fine for hours, until eventually it would bsod/restart/lock up. There were a couple times that it did this and a couple of the sticks wouldn't even be detected properly after the reboot, bringing me down from my normal 18 GB to 12 (I actually posted about this before in the stupid questions thread); but then it'd go back to normal later on. I've even had it lock up in the bios while trying to verify related settings. I finally got fed up with the problems it was having and reseated the ram (despite appearing to be securely seated already), and it hasn't had a problem since.

TLDR: Despite having already checked the placement of the ram, if you haven't actually completely reseated it you might want to give that a shot.

>>59043766
thanks man, but i already reseated it in different slots even to no avail. Never had an issue with detection either

>>59043722

Are you OP?
If your PC is down-clocking your memory to run, then obviously you have a RAM problem.

Make sure the RAM you bought is compatible with your motherboard, check on the manufacturers website. This is probably the problem. Replace the new sticks of RAM with the previous RAM you hand installed and see if you run into the same issue.

Otherwise you could go into your BIOS and change the timings to make it try and run propperly
>enter BIOS
>RAM
>set frequency to 1333
>set timings to that found on RAM packaging
>reboot
>if computer fails to post your RAM is shit.
>If computer is good, do a memory test so see if it is stable

Also make sure you are getting adequate airflow onto your motherboard, as the VRAM could be overheating causing it to crash.

>>59042797
>>59045408
Holy shit I didn't even notice the RAM clock speed
What RAM do you have OP?

gtfo of /g/ you goddamn newbie. I've googled similar problems when I was a teen and before I found this shithole

Disconnect everything unnessecary for booting and testing. Check if voltages and clocks are stock. Check for any screws or metal objects stuck on the mb or anywhere. Check cpu socket pins for any defects. Generally try to find any missing or loose small components like smd resistors and condensers, especially on ram and gpu. Try to isolate the problematic component by swapping one at a time. Start with PSU, ram, gpu.

>>59042427
I had a similar problem. Ended going back to win 7 - but even still, the problems persisted. Bsods, as well as firefox crashing randomly when playing html5 video. I tried to think what I did similar across the 2 fresh installs. Ccleaner came to mind, so I used the backup .reg files to undo its work. That seemed to help! But still, I occasionally have the same issues, only now their random occurrence is much less of an expectation. Odd!
