Ok, so I just received the new RAM today and installed it. Everything was running smoothly, so I started up a game. I had steam installing TF2 in the background, and the game running in the foreground. I left the computer to make dinner, when I came back, the game had closed itself out, but steam was still installing. I started the game up again and it froze the entire computer this timeโฆ Then as it was frozen, I got a BSOD of MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION. Says it is driver and software based BSOD.
open cmd prompt
copy and paste [COLOR=rgb(84, 172, 210)]DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth [COLOR=rgb(255, 255, 255)]Press enter
When finished [COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)]sfc /scannow[COLOR=rgb(255, 255, 255)] Press Enter
[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]
[COLOR=rgb(84, 172, 210)][COLOR=rgb(255, 255, 255)][COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)][COLOR=rgb(255, 255, 255)]
Iโll give that a try when I can, question though, is there something I should be doing that will test the computer? Or should I just do what Iโve been doing of running games and letting it idle to see if anything happens?[/color][/color][/color][/color]
The only test you should really need is ram test - but taking a stick at a time is quicker
and better in my opinion
Ok so I didnโt have an active windows 10 key. I got a Windows 10 Pro key and decided to start fresh and do a clean install of windows. Only problem is while installing windows, I keep getting a BSOD System_Service_Exception regarding the win32kbase.sys. So Iโm never able to finish the installโฆ
NB this will wipe all data from the drive
Boot from Win 10 install usb
When you get to the startup screen (pic attached)
Press Shift + F10 key
you should get a X:> prompt
What is in blue you type in red you do
e.g Enter press enter key
Diskpart enter
list disk enter
Select disk n enter (n=the disk you wish to convert)
clean enter
convert gpt enter
exit enter
exit enter
can you continue with the install now ?

That worked perfectly! I would have never have guessed any of that. I couldnโt find anything online either.
I was able to install everything and the updates for the computer. Iโm not having BSOD but I am having screen issues. For some reason the screen will freeze completely. I will have no mouse or keyboard input and in order to regain anything, I have to do a hard shutdown and restart.
So I attached my Speccy report, I think thatโs what you wanted. I also looked for chipset drivers for the i3-9100F. I could not find any, and I even tried downloading Intelยฎ Driver & Support Assistant but it told me there was nothing to update. I uninstalled it immediately afterwards. Iโm not sure why Speccy is showing the RAM as unknown or at 1066MHz.
