Afternoon all


Upgraded my pc before Xmas had one or 2 issue then found out motherboard was faulty.

2980 ripper
X399 aorus xtreme
64gig Corsair ddr4 64gig 3000MHz
Added another set as above

Radeon rx570

Been running fine till a couple of weeks ago when I added more ram another 64gig .

Then I started getting random crashes BSOD etc kernel issues , page issues past couple of days .

So i thought I’d try and reinstall windows and go again spent since 7.30am this morning trying to Install removing the new memory and leaving just 64gig . And I just can’t get it to install keep getting this error 0x8007025D



I’ve unplugged all drives tried just my M2 same then I tried just a basic SSD the same .

Got to install once on the M2 drive but it started crashing again .

When I seem to remove the new ram which is the same I get it to install ?


I’m running out of ideas I’ve reseated the ram, graphics card everything I can think off to be honest


Desperately looking for advice and help please. .

Thank you .
 
Just installed windows on ssd and got this with just 64 gig ram installed the original ones before Xmas

 
Sounds like memory corruption to me - have you tried it with just 1 stick of ram? Presumably that's a 16gb stick?

I’ve not to be fair so is possible the older ( before Xmas ) mem maybe causing an issue ?

I just assumed it was the new stuff even though there both the same . Yes I have 8x 16gig sticks but as we stand atm just got the older 4x 16gig sticks in atm

Thanks
 
Have you run a memory test? Intel have a utility that does memory test from USB stick, I presume there is something also available for AMD hardware.

Yeah, may be the case that only 1 stick is at fault in both batches, worth trying one individually to rule that out. :)

Just waiting for food ( out ) found this https://www.techpowerup.com/memtest64/

Would this be case doing 1 stick at a time new and old ?

I'd check Memtest if you can, but depends if you can get it to boot into windows. If not, I'd say unfortunately trying individual sticks is your best bet.

I'd personally try 2 sticks at a time, will save some time if it does happen to be 1 faulty stick in each bunch.

Boot > Fail > Remove 1 stick - if it fails again you know it's the 1 remaining, if it boots you know it's the 1 you took out.
 
Did get it booting into windows it was installing things or starting browses it got unhappy and BSOD came up .

Memtest the built in windows program isn’t it ?

Nope, there's a Memory Diagnostics built into Windows that reboots your PC then scans the memory but Memtest (both 86 & 64) are individual programs.
 
Can't get memtest to boot either I've created a usb boot drive off it but nothing is happening when I select it on the boot menu ?

How did you create the boot drive?

Try using Rufus, you can get it here: https://rufus.ie/

Just select the ISO file and then the USB Drive you want to send it to and click Start, just leave the other settings as the ones it automatically picks.

Definitely seems hardware related with that minidump.

Let me know how you get on with memtest :)

You think is memory ? Or motherboard again ?

I'd be inclined to say memory related. But may be worth updating the BIOS if you haven't already

On the latest version 5f think it is just running this memtest at the moment have original 4 sticks in . Seems a slow process ?

Up to getting memory controller details
