content: Stop playing Fortnite and do something useful./Joke end.Are the drivers correct installed, so no yellow marks or so in devices manager?It could be also an hardware problem.

content: Quote from: nvidia on August 14, 2019, 09:13:31 amThere will be a hexadecimal code after the cryptic error message which will give you better/more specific results when searched, but IRQL errors are typically the result of a bad driver - and the most common culprit among those are video drivers, especially if you change the video card and just let Windows automatically update the driver for you.What I would do is use Display Driver Uninstaller to remove the existing video driver THEN download/install the latest driver for your specific card. Do not skip the DDU step - it is what cleans out all the files that could be interfering with each other or are corrupted.

content: damn i got BSOD again but this time it was different it sayskmode exception not handledfast start-up is turned offEditmy friend came over he told me to try do a sfc scani did a sfc scan in cmd and it said found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of themdid a google and triedDism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth in cmd restarted pc and ran the sfc scan and gotWindows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired themdid a sfc scan again and got Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.would this have been the problem causing the BSOD if i get another BSOD i will update this post

content: It could be several things at this point, but keep us updated if it BSOD's again.You said your built your system... One common cause of your symptoms is a bent CPU/socket pin. I've seen this often with built PC's. A tell-tale sign is accurately addressing all memory at idle (passing memory tests), but having arbitrary BSOD's and memory errors under load (like while gaming).

content: Try running Memtest86 (https://www.memtest86.com) continuously for several hours, booting from a memory stick or CD. This can help you determine if it is the OS/drivers or the hardware that is to blame.

content: What OS are you running ? Because starting from a few days ago, my laptop with win10 started acting up on me. When I hit something like 90% memory usage, web pages die, I get random memory errors and it's all after win10 did an update.And can't really roll it back because it's not in the update list, it's something small that windows did, so maybe same issue on your end also ?

content: Quote from: Mr. Scram on August 15, 2019, 08:27:29 amIt's an Intel problem. They don't use pins, but spring contact sockets. A little bent pin might make good contact when cold. But after a few heat cycles it diminishes and creates errors. Then until the error happens in some critical pointer, the kernel breaks down in an irrecoverable error.However, most similar blue screen of deaths are by driver bugs. Such as 0x9 IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL or 0x9F DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE.Randombug check codesin your bsod's are often memory problems, but a memory problem can also be in the wires to the memory.No memory dump is a sign of storage failure. (see nirsoft bluescreenview)Immediate reboot without bsod or dump is a power supply problem.Bad CPU is the most rare, unless you overclock until it smokes you won't get this.
