I'm struggling to find assistance with BSOD and game crashes.
I'm struggling to find assistance with BSOD and game crashes.
Randomly during a match my Siege can crash, it's really strange. Sometimes it just closes without any issue, other times the whole system crashes (see image with odd pixels), and occasionally the game freezes but I can still hear audio before it finally shuts down.
When it crashes, it freezes on this picture (colors invert or something) then crashes again and restarts.

BSod codes I encountered:
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED
MEMORY MANAGEMENT
I'm open to sharing any file if needed.
Things I've tried:
Stress test (ensure PSU is sufficient)
Reinstall drivers for all components
Uninstall Corsair software (it seems problematic)
Update Windows
Run memory check
ChkDsk (on OS SSD)
Driver Verifier
overclocking and default settings
Reconfigure NVIDIA control panel
Deleted %temp% folder
Reinstalled the game but it didn't work
Please let me know if you need help.
System configuration:
Ryzen 7 2700 (usually boosted to 4ghz)
Rog b450-f
16GB 3000mhz RAM
Rtx 3070
Windows 10 Home
600 watt EVGA Bronze PSU
My Solution:
I became really frustrated and tried various fixes, but I forgot to turn on xmp. So I set my RAM to its standard speed and reinstalled my BIOS on my ROG Strix. They have a solid tool and it was straightforward, so thank you for your help, but after that it seems everything has been resolved!
It seems the issue might be hardware-related. I experienced similar problems with games freezing or closing unexpectedly, often due to IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED. Over time, I discovered my Ryzen 5 3600 was faulty and replaced it. If you need another Ryzen CPU for testing, let me know.
Yes, you mentioned performing a memory check, but it seems you weren't using a standard tool like memtest86 for a proper assessment.
Lmao just completed that after getting a BSD for MEMORY MANAGEMENT, and I tested memetest86 for about 14 hours last night without any results.
For the update, I'll mention that I've been in contact with Ubisoft; they seem to be in good shape, though we haven't identified any problems yet. I could consider a full reinstall of the Nvidia drivers, essentially resetting everything, but I'm a bit concerned about potentially causing more issues.
After running Memtest and it passed, I encountered another bsod (KMODE EXPETION NOT HANDLED). I performed an sfc scan which detected some errors, but it reported that Windows successfully repaired them. I can share the Cbs log if anyone is interested, but I'm planning to try some games to see if the issue gets resolved!
My Solution:
I became really desperate and tried several things, but I forgot to turn on xmp. So I set my RAM to its regular speed and reinstalled my BIOS on my ROG Strix. They actually have a good tool and it was simple, so thanks Rog for that, but after doing that it somehow seems to have fixed everything!
