Right after weeks of trying to diagnose random BSOD's event viewer All power kernal 41 blah blah blah and irq less than or equal to error gonna bite the bullet and get a new set up and start fresh.

Deffo I5 6600k
but which mobo and ram 500 quid budget guys
 
This is what I got:

* i5-6600k - £200
* Corsair LPX 2400 C14 Black 2x8GB - £80
* Gigabyte GA-Z170X Gaming 3 - £124

Seems to be going allright. Had it for around 2 months now. It gets a stable 4.58 Ghz overclock at the 'stock' voltage (which typically floats around 1.2v).
 
I am running memory in xmp mode. I havn't tried running it stock do you think its worth a try?
Well i have tried everything else so it would not hurt.

Nothing in dmp files are the same either
 
try it at stock,i don't know what the memory controller voltage is labelled as on haswell,might need a touch more for 2400mhz speeds (xmp wont set that voltage)
 
I experienced a lot of Kernel 41 faults a few months ago and took me ages to diagnose what the fault was, turned out to be a slightly loose wire which was tucked away in the most hard to reach/see place, once I secured it and checked for any loose wires I had zero problems after.

So maybe it's worth checking for loose cables somewhere ;)
 
make sure you got a surge protector & you dont have too much stuff out of one outlet as it could be pulling too much and getting unstable
 
Thhis is what i am getting cause storport.sys

Played all last night with no probs and a couple of hours today and now BSOD :(

I know how you feel believe me I had this going on from around January to April this year, at one point I contacted Sapphire because I was convinced in the end it was my graphics card going faulty, which it wasn't.

Now I don't know if you regularly turn your PC off by the mains or not, but if you do you may have a cold boot issue like I do. Basically if I turned the PC on from the mains and powered up the PC after a couple of seconds I am certain at some point the computer will crash. Instead when I turn it on again from the mains I wait about a minute before powering up and have no problems at all. I have never tried booting faster from a quick boot since then, but for me what likely solved my issue was the cold booting/checking and securing all wires inside.

If you have tried that and still no joy, consider taking everything out the case and building it again, if that fails then you need to narrow down and isolate what is likely a faulty component, bad stick of ram, psu failing etc.

It's a nightmare but with some perseverance you should hopefully find a resolution.
 
Always good to start from square one with issues like this.

Would reset the CMOS on the motherboard.
Would setup the bare minimums outside of the case, reseating all the cables.
Would then try boot with just 1 stick of RAM, CPU cooler and GPU connected and see where you stand, you need to eliminate the possibilities.

Then try setting XMP for the single stick and see if that works.
Then try 2 sticks at XMP and go from there.

It's long, but taking a step back and working through it at the bare minimum level can help find the cause or fix the problem.
