Hello everyone,
excuse my english i prefered chatgpt describing writing this over me
I've been troubleshooting a system that's been experiencing recurring BSODs for quite some time, and after exhausting the troubleshooting steps I could think of, I'm hoping to get some insight from people with more experience in WinDbg and kernel debugging.
System
- Windows 11 Pro 25H2 (Build 26200.x)
- Intel Core i9-14900KS
- ASUS ROG Strix Z790-E Gaming WiFi II
- G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 48GB (2×24GB) DDR5-8400
- NVIDIA RTX 5080
- Crucial T705 Gen5 NVMe SSD
Summary
The crashes originally started before I reformatted Windows. Because the bugchecks and faulting modules kept changing, I performed a clean installation of Windows to rule out OS corruption.
Unfortunately, the same type of instability continues after the reinstall.
The BSODs are not tied to one specific activity. I've had crashes while gaming, during normal desktop use, and even shortly after boot with nothing significant running.
Besides the BSODs, Windows itself has been unstable:
- Task Manager occasionally opens and immediately closes by itself.
- Corsair iCUE crashes every 30 mins or less.
- Google Chrome also crashes memory acess violation especially during video running on youtube
- and every windows program almost
I'm mentioning these in case they're relevant to the overall picture.
Bugchecks observed
Before reinstall:
- MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
- PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
- SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
- KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
- INTERRUPT_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
- ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY
After reinstall:
- PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
- HYPERVISOR_ERROR
WinDbg
Across different dumps, WinDbg has pointed to different Microsoft components, including:
- ntoskrnl.exe
- WdFilter.sys
- Ntfs.sys
- win32kbase.sys
Since the reported module changes from crash to crash, I'm unsure whether these are the true source of the problem or simply where Windows eventually detects the failure.
Troubleshooting already performed
- Clean Windows installation
- BIOS updated
- Latest chipset and GPU drivers installed
sfc /scannow completed successfully
- Disabled XMP and currently running memory at default JEDEC settings
- Ran the motherboard's built-in MemTest from BIOS after disabling XMP (no errors reported at default settings)
- Collected multiple crash dumps and Event Viewer logs
Installed software that may be relevant
Some software on the system installs kernel components or low-level drivers. I'm not suggesting any of these are responsible, but I'm listing them for completeness:
If there are other installed drivers you'd like me to list, I'm happy to provide them.
