The video games on my Windows 10 computer are consistently experiencing crashes.
Greetings, I recently experienced an issue with my PC following a series of upgrades—specifically, the replacement of the computer case, addition of fans, and installation of new RAM. Initially, after these modifications, the system failed to boot, consistently displaying a CPU debug LED error. Upon removing one of the DIMMs (RAM sticks), the machine did, in fact, commence operation. I subsequently updated the BIOS, which resolved the problem temporarily. However, since then, I've encountered persistent crashes during gameplay and occasional blue screen errors even within Chrome. Furthermore, reverting to my original RAM configuration has not alleviated the situation. Certain games abruptly return me to the desktop, while others freeze or generate a blue screen after a period of time. My system specifications are as follows: Ryzen 5 3600 processor (non-overclocked), EVGA GTX 1070Ti graphics card (non-overclocked), Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000MHz RAM (2x8GB) – tested with both XMP enabled at 3000MHz and disabled at 2133MHz, a Corsair TX650M power supply unit, an MSI B450 Tomahawk motherboard, a Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic case, and a Corsair H100i RGB Platinum 240mm liquid cooler. I have nine case fans in total, ensuring that temperatures remain within acceptable limits during stress tests (GPU averaging 63°C, CPU reaching 41°C). Recently observed blue screen errors include “PAGE FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA,” “IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL,” and others. Diagnostic scans of my HDD and RAM yielded no errors. I’ve attempted to relocate games from the HDD to the SSD and performed clean installations of the NVIDIA drivers, yet these efforts have been unsuccessful. Are there any potential solutions? Should I explore reverting to an older BIOS version, if feasible? Or would a complete reinstall of Windows be the most appropriate course of action?
The issue originated from the motherboard's BIOS settings. I reverted to a prior BIOS version, and subsequently, the system ceased experiencing crashes. Further investigation revealed that the Ryzen 5 3600 processor itself was defective; therefore, it was returned, and with a replacement unit, the problem was finally resolved.
The issue stemmed from the system’s firmware. I reverted to a prior version of the firmware, and subsequently, the computer ceased experiencing crashes. Further investigation revealed that the Ryzen 5 3600 processor itself was defective; therefore, it was returned, and with a replacement unit, the persistent problem was finally resolved.
