Hi all

Hoping we have some wizards in town today.My new build acted up last night. Anybody able to have a read through my post which i have put on Reddit and see if anything jumps out at them?


Hi all


I built my first PC back in early September (specs below) and everything has been fine.

  • i9 9900k (Stock)

  • Rtx 2080s

  • z390 Aorus Master (F9 Bios)

  • 32gb Corsair Vengeance 3200mhz

  • Samsung 860 EVO SSD (250gb)
Yesterday my computer had a BSOD whilst loading into a game of Destiny 2. I have been playing Destiny 2 on this machine since it was built (on top of lots of other games) without issue. I was expecting to have to reboot and go back into Windows and investigate the error reports. However I have not been able to get into Windows at all as I get further Blue Screens with lots of different errors messages after around 20 attempts (some of these errors have appeared multiple times). They are;

  • Pagefault in non page area
  • Irl not less or equal
  • Unexpected kernel mode trap
  • Ntfs.sys
  • System thread exception not handled
  • Memory management
  • Class pnp.sys
  • Inaccessible boot device
I can get into Bios, all of my devices are recognized including boot drive however on the MIT section of the Bios it says "ROM Image not Loaded, Rom Image Update is Denied". This message dissapears when I go into another section and then switch back to the MIT section. Once I try to get to windows I will either get a BSOD or I will get the "Preparing Automatic Repair" spinning wheel show up on the Gigabyte Aorus splash page and then BSOD.

I have tried the following with no joy;
  • Clear CMOS
  • Reseat RAM
  • Reseat/Remove GPU (and run off integrated graphics)
  • Remove all SSD/HDD and run off just the boot drive
  • Attempt to plug in Windows bootable USB to reinstall OS (get the BSOD same as trying to get to Windows).
  • Attempted Boot with no USB or audio devices plugged in.
  • Disabled XMP
Now I have ordered a replacement SSD which comes tomorrow but I was wondering if anybody has ever had this issue before and would be able to offer advice? Thanks in advance.

Inaccessible boot device - that looks like your OS drive has gone down, I'd expect this to boot loop tbh having had the same around this time last year, Christmas Eve to be exact!

Thanks for the reply. So me ordering a new SSD appears to be the correct route?

Also any idea why the BSOD messages keep changing?

So I have my parents laptop. if i do it off of there but do not tick the "Backup System files option" would that be enough?

Also would you have any idea why I cannot get the Windows 10 Installation USB to boot up? I was thinking I could boot that up and then install/format over the top of my existing SSD?

Sound like memory to me tbh, did you run memtest?

No I have not. I assume that can be run from a USB in BIOS?
 
jsmoke said:
When you boot off the USB have you set the right boot order in the bios?

So depending on how your bios words it, first boot device should be USB or removable drive also make sure legacy USB devices is on and there may be an option in there somewhere for boot from USB, make sure that's on.

USB is priority. It is listedtwice. One as UEFI and one just as the drive itself. I have tried both. I believe that I have also enabled the legacy thing in the USB settings but would have to check.
 
F8 was not listed as an option on boot but I can try that later tonight.

I have also attempted to get into Windows Recovery Environment by powering off three times but with no joy.
 
jsmoke said:
F8 won't be listed is a 'secrety' kind of thing.

Thanks. Will add that to my list of things to attempt tonight;

- Attempt F8 safe mode boot
- Bios Flash (F10)
- Run with with one stick of RAM
- Memtest
- Recovery disk

Should I do the recovery disk before i try memtest?
 
Ok so I have tried the following

Flash Bios
Try each Ram stick individually
Disconnect all drives and run the windows installation USB (BSOD on that aswell)

I am now trying to get Memtest running but the PC keeps freezing at random points in the the first pass usually step 4 but it has oncereached step 5. Tested on both multicore and single core mode.
 
Ok so after both sticks failing Memtest with one of them failing in multiple slots i have ordered some new RAM. If it is not the RAM what is the next likely culprit.
 
Hi all. Both the new ram and ssd have made no difference. I cannot get this machine to enter any form of Windows whatsover. It recognises all peripherals in bios i have even downgraded bios to the oldest version. Reseated CPU. Moved ram from B slots to A slots. As soon as the Aorus splash screen starts to try and hand over to windows I get a BSOD with varying error messages.

Any clues as to what this could be?
 
I am going to try and find a local shop that has an 8 or 9 series CPU and ask if they would be willing to test it in my machine or vice versa to narrow it down. May even ask them to test mine on a different PSU although I highly doubt it's that as it gets into bios fine. If anybody in South East London is willing to help me out with something like the above it would be greatly appreciated.

Is the mobo still under warranty, did you try the new ssd, do you have an HD maybe sata to try?
Click to expand...

Mobo and CPU are both under warranty and have contacted both to start the RMA. However I have gotten in contact with a local PC shop who will be able to put a different CPU into the board to test it before I even send the stuff back.

Just a thought and seeing as Memtest seems to report CPU: 0 issues. Have you removed the CPU and checked for any bent socket pins? Or it could be one or two not making great contact.
Click to expand...

I did reseat the CPU but I did not check for bent pins. I have taken it to a local store who are going to test another CPU in it but have asked them to keep and eye out for this particular issue. I am fairly confident that the CPU was socketed correctly as i did not force it and for lack of a better phrase "let it find its own way for".
