hey!

I hope this is the right section to post in.


While gaming I have experienced the BSOD, it has now happened 5 - 10 times, the first time was a few months back.
From what i can remember this happened after I water-cooled my rig.

Initially, when stress testing to see what the problem could be, it would crash when testing the RAM. I have now switched it out, and today experienced the BSOD again.

My cpu is overclocked, as is the GPU. I have stress tested both, and there is no problem, also temps are fine. am using i5-10600K and a 3070

here is the crash report:
0x0000003b (0x00000000c0000005, 0xfffff80748400950, 0xfffff9828bd66510, 0x0000000000000000

It has only happened while playing more demanding games,. Doom eternal, RDR2 and i think also with Death Stranding. I was playing divinity 2, there were no problems at all.

Any help at all would be great
thanks!
 
If it only happens when you started the water cooling then it seems likely that something is overheating, possibly because it no longer gets airflow when it did before (e.g. VRMs, memory), or because the watercooling has not been fitted properly and/or doesn't cover all the components it needs to.

Did you actually get memory errors when testing the memory, or did it just BSOD?

Have you run manufacturer diagnostics on your SSD(s)?
 
What Tetras said makes sense, except if it was case airflow / case air temp I would think you would have had problems last couple of weeks when temps were much higher than yesterday.
 
Hey.
Thak you guys for taking the time to reply.

The crash started during the hot summer months, i cant say 100%, but i dont remember it before that.

It happened yesterday, and this wasn't a hot one.

Also i can't remember it happening with doom eternal.
Il play some red dead later and see if it happens again.

I never thought about the airflow.
I modified a smaller case, to fit a really fat 360mm radiator in.

The cpu and gpu are both secure and not running to hot.

I havnt done a diagnostic on the ssd.

If it does happen again, il remover the OCs on then.

In a few months il also move over to a lian li o11 dynamic. So there is more room in there.

Cant really think of much else that vould be wrong

I didn't mean case airflow, but specifically around the CPU area of the motherboard, since even tower coolers offer some cooling to the VRMs and memory (around 5 C or so), while top-down coolers can offer a lot (even as much as 10-15C). But, a cooler running CPU does drop temps around the socket.

I have a waterblock on the cpu.

The error report is in the first msg.. At least i think this is the correct info. Am i missing something?

Indeed, the codes are in 1st msg, but did you look up what caused each code to appear in report? IE; 0x0000003B 'indicates that an exception happened while executing a routine that transitions from non-privileged code to privileged code."

Each code has it's own cause definition. Sometimes they explain problem so we can fix it, sometimes not. ;)
