Most bizarre system crashes Unique error messages Unresolved issues
Okay so for some background, I built a pc with intentions to sell it about a year ago, I sold it yesterday. I have not gotten it back yet, but I will have it Monday. Keep this in mind!!! Specs: CPU - Ryzen 5 3600 GPU - PNY XLR8 GTX 1660 Super RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8) DDR4 3000 MHz Motherboard - Asrock B450M-HDV R4.0 Boot Drive - Western Digital Blue 500GB Sata SSD Wifi Card - MSI Dual Band AC WiFi 4.2 Long Range Wireless PCIe (AC905c) CPU Cooler - BeQuiet! Pure Rock 2 (Black) A few days before I took it and sold it, I reinstalled windows 10 (as customary for selling a pc) and when I started trying to install drivers, it kept blue screening and would not stop. I tried everything to keep it from blue screening, Reseating the gpu, wifi card, RAM, re-socketing the CPU and reapplying thermal compound on CPU and GPU (I have used this gpu for awhile, it is known working or was at the time of last use without BSOD). Before reinstalling Windows, everything was 100% fine, I ran the PC for about two days before reinstalling to make sure it was still good and operational, It was perfectly fine. Reinstalled windows and all hell broke loose. I didn't even make it to Nvidia's website before I got my first BSOD, SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION. Driver issue? Shortly got my second (about a minute later on the desktop) Same error. Same time period and got my third, This time a new one. SYSTEM_EXCEPTION_THREAD_NOT_HANDLED. Did this one more time then failed to boot and gave me recovery screen. Then I reseated everything, tried switching RAM DIMMs, Cleaned the GPU and CPU and everything was fine. Got AMD drivers installed and then not even 10 seconds after it finished, went back to blue screening with the same errors as previously mentioned. Here's where it gets a bit weirder, I thought if it was a software thing, I could put the boot drive in my personal pc (which I know is good, I am using it now and I never have problems with it anymore but once every 9 months or less) and guess what! Everything worked PERFECT. No blue screens. No Errors, Everything was flawless. I ran it for about 15-30 minutes (I went and had dinner so I don't know the exact time, but I left Furmark running with a gopro but my gopro died mid recording) and when I came back, It was still running (for some reason Furmark didn't time it??). Put the boot drive back in the other pc and it was fine from then on. Took it to the customer I was selling to and he said he loved it. Today comes around, I get a text from him. "Got my first blue screen, here's the code: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION". Well, I walked him through everything I did before and even tried several new things. Every error I got was for a driver problem (faulty drivers, missing, corrupted, or outdated, literally everything) He said it blue screened 8 times, He had tried restarting it and it kept doing the exact same thing as the other day. I told him to bring it back to me, so I will have it Monday and I will have time to work on it myself (not really, I am insanely stressed right now with school). Does anyone have ANY ideas why this is happening? I need my money back out of this PC very badly, I also sold this for less than $500 (which for this spec and pricing, is too cheap imo). I also took note of temps, everything is under 70c under load (CPU included) Any help or insight anyone can offer me is VERY VERY VERY greatly appreciated.
You might attempt a fresh installation of Windows again, as some files could be damaged. Bluescreenview can capture which files triggered the crash and you can search further online or return here later. This example shows what Bluescreenview displays after a failure. The highlighted problem is clear—your PC must reach a BSOD before gathering details.
I'll give it a shot! Thanks! I should note that I reinstalled Windows three times, but it didn't fix the problem.
I encountered a blue screen during today's Windows setup and retrieved the corresponding dump files. Any clues you can provide would be helpful.
I changed the RAM to a known working one from my personal PC, but now it’s causing an error. I’m planning to create a new installation tool (I really think this is the issue) and reinstall Windows again. If the problem continues, I’ll be completely stuck.
