Hi

I currently have the following system :

I7 6700K
Asus VIII Ranger / Asus pro gaming
Corsair vengenance LPX DDR4 3000mhz
EVGA G2 750 w supernova

All parts are new. I used the MS media creation Tool to create a win 10 installation. It worked fine and I used the computer for about 2 days.
Then one day while playing dota I got a BSOD saying there was a problem with my computer and it need to reboot "irql not less or equal".
After that it would keep rebooting and I couldn't log into Windows even in safe mode.
I have tried the following :

Memtest86 = ok
Cleared CMOS = no change, the system still crashes.
Formatted the ssd in the bios and tried to do a complete new installation, but Again I get BSOD just after the text " Windows loading files".
Updated Bios = no difference.
Disconnected everything and tried the reinstal, still BSOD.
I EVEN BOUGHT A NEW MOBO BECAUSE MY BROTHER IN LAW INSISTED IS WAS A FAULTY MOBO, but I still get BSOD.
I have been getting various different messages, the most common is "irql not less or equal", but also "attempted to execute non excute memory" and "worker thread irql " and "Page fault in nonpaged area".
Also checked the cpu socket for bent pins, but nothing.
Tried switching and reseating the ram in different slots = stil BSOD.

So Guys.... I really could use some help locating the problem
 
Have you tried running it with minimum non essential hardware in it to see how stable it is? such as removing all but one stick of RAM, no GPU (us on board), remove any additional PCIE cards etc?

It could be a faulty windows 10 USB/ISO (unlikely) but more likely still faulty RAM or a device driver, personally with ASUS I tend not to use their drivers and particularly their ASUS Suite tools, they rarely work well.

Yes I had everything unplugged so only cpu, ram and the mobo were active.
The strange thing is I can't even boot on a cd or usb. As soon as the Windows logo appears I get the BSOD. I can acces the bios though without any problems
 
I also ran the old program PC check

I'm thinking potentially faulty SSD, have you tried an alternative? It's just such weird behaviour that an SSD might explain it. Only ever had two go faulty, one my drive simply stopped working, the other I had a couple of random crashes over the course of a few weeks before I realised it could be the SSD and had it replaced under warranty.

Still clutching at straws a bit though mate sorry :(
