Hi,

A family member has been running into issues with their PC continously blue screening. It has started to become more and more frequent to the point that it happens within 30 seconds of turning the PC on. The SSD has been wiped a couple of times with everything including OS reinstalled, as well as having 2 brand new ram dimms installed, but still hasn't fixed the issues.

The errors that are popping up are as follows:
-kmode exception not handled
-page fault in nonpaged area
-system service exception
-irql not less or equal

Has anyone any ideas on a fix for this or whats my best course of action going forward? It has got to the stage where buying a new motherboard is my next choice but can't be certain that that would fix it.

Any help at all is greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Jordan.
 
I did buy two brand 8gb dimms and put them in it and still having the same issues which led me to think the ram sticks themselves are ok. I also tried different ram slots on the mobo and still same issue.
 
EXPO/XMP on or off?

Turbo on or off?

Ran memtest to test the memory?

Ran CPU test like Prime 95 to test CPU?

Temps are fine?

Have you scanned the SSD and checked the SMART data? There are some brands/models with known issues.

If PC has integrated graphics, remove the graphics card?

Are there any significant errors in the event viewer, particularly WHEA logger errors?

Are any of the devices used old, e.g. wireless dongle, mouse or keyboard that requires legacy software?
What do you suggest for XMP on/off or Turbo on/off in the bios?
I will run memtest, Prime 95 and check the SSD to make sure they are all working fine. It has become hard to do anything on the PC as it bluescreens within the first minute of starting it up.
Doesn't rule out the potential that those sticks could also be problematic, though that would be incredibly unlucky I would still suggest some stress testing.

Do you have the full machine specs available? That looks like a mix of RAM and driver issues so could be drivers causing memory leaks once the other potential hardware issues (as per Tetras) have been bottomed out.
I will run memtest to check them just to be safe.
The full specs are: B450M, 3600, 16gb ddr4 3600mhz, GTX1660Super, 1tb samsung ssd and a 550w psu.

Thanks for the help lads
