Daily BSOD - - - ntoskrnl.exe (+416980) issue?
Thank you for your response. I recently installed new RAM modules, Patriot Viper Steel 2x8GB, PC4-25600, CL16-18-18-36, voltage 1.35V. Product Number: PVS416G320C6K. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to locate compatible options in my area. I purchased the same model as before because the timings and CL matched. On the memory support page, it appears PV416G320C6K is listed there with identical CL and timings.
I’m considering whether the issue might be with the motherboard slots, as finding a suitable one could be difficult due to cost and availability. However, I’m prepared to proceed. I maintain a full disk image daily, which should help if any problems arise. I’ll try the Driver Verifier and will update you in the coming days.
Thank you again for your helpful advice. Very detailed.
Here’s the updated version:
So, a brief update about the BSOD over the past three days.
On 13/12 I installed the new RAM sticks around noon. There were no problems all day, not even a browser crash—just some light usage.
On 14/12 I turned on the Driver Verifier around 11 AM and everything ran smoothly throughout the day. Regular use with some light gaming (the game wasn’t too heavy).
On 15/12 the DV was still enabled and I played BG3, normal usage with some gaming (a demanding title).
I plan to connect the drives in the coming days, one per day, to check for any issues.
I hope the RAM was the cause, but I’ll send another update in about two to three days and aim to finish it.
This seems promising. If DV has been active for more than 24 hours and you've attempted to load every third-party driver, you may safely deactivate it. Your issue is probably not related to a third-party driver. Hopefully, the new RAM will resolve it.
I just took out the DV, it was running for a couple of days without any problems.
It looks really positive. From 1-2 per day to 0 in the last four days.
My next update will come in three days, so I hope everything stays fine then.
Thus far, everything appears fine. All the drives are installed and the system is running smoothly. I believe we can consider this resolved. Honestly, I've assembled several PCs before and never faced problems with RAMs, aside from the vendor's QVL list. A lesson learned, perhaps. If you have time, please let me know if you find any references so I can review how to interpret minidumps, etc. Thanks.
