BSOD Help

[Evan_Greenwood]

Just an update before I go to sleep PC didn’t crash (doesn’t mean anything but is a good sign) had a successful 2.5hr stream as well.

I know you said not to do multiple posts but today my Graphics Card Nvidia 2060 requested an update wouldn’t that mean the card is installed on the PC and I wouldn’t need to re-do the Graphics driver?

" However you backtrack on that by saying "

Excuse me, I have backtracked on absolutely zero, you have been advised as to how things must be done but because you have not done things correctly we are trying to help you put this right.

I will reiterate this, feel free to go elsewhere, my time and knowledge is given for free on forums and has been for nearly thirty years, business wise I charge circa 100 of your dollars per hour so please don`t question what I advise.

I am not trying to make you mad at all, I appreciate your help as you are the only person who has actually helped me thus far. I just don’t understand everything you say as I don’t work on PCs. SO when I said the below you replied with no, so I assumed I could skip reinstalling windows 11 as in my mind that would be reinstalling the computer itself. So since you said no I just went to the next step which was to turn off XMP and change RAM settings which are done, and I also updated the chipset drivers on my PC.

What do you suggest I do next?

So you are saying the only fix at this moment would be a reinstall?

No.

Also if you tell someone who knows nothing about PCs to install a couple of things then in a new post you say I suggest to just install the chipset drivers (as I have) that gets confusing to me. Which is then I ask do I need to install the remainder which was the Storage/Sata and Graphics card, also my Graphics card App updated the GPU so shouldn’t that mean it is installed on my PC?

Also when I say this tech support or help elsewhere that was during the 1st week I was having this issue and is how I got the original post on the thread as they couldn’t help me anymore. In regards to me geting the RAM tests, GPU stresstests, etc. I dont know how to do that but they helped I am only getting help from you.

[Evan_Greenwood]

Is there anyway you can please still help me? You are the only person to have been this helpful and gotten me this far.

[Evan_Greenwood]

Guess you aren’t going to help anymore, able to close this thread so I can compile the info and start with someone else then?

You have already been advised what you need to do in my reply #29 but for whatever reason all you wanted to do was nit pick, I am more than happy to help but only if you do as asked and only post back when it is to advise on the results of any testing.

If you have turned off XMP and installed the Windows 11 chipset drivers that was all that you needed to do for now, if you have no further BSOD as was said in my reply #29 leave well alone or if you have any further BSOD you should upload the latest crash dmp/s the way that was explained in my reply #5.

No need for any reply now until the couple of days testing has been done or you have any new BSOD, crash dmps more that two days old should not be uploaded.

Thank you will give it a couple of days, past 2 days have been clean with no crashes at all after turning off XMP and installing the WIN11 Chipset drivers. Will respond back if any crashes occur or to give an update on Saturday after a few days of letting the PC work.

past 2 days have been clean with no crashes at all after turning off XMP and installing the WIN11 Chipset drivers.

The above sounds promising and was what we were hoping that you would post back with after testing for a couple of days, another two days of testing should confirm that the issue is resolved.

Will look out for your next update on Saturday.

under no circumstances should you update any drivers.

I second this! I have been on the same install of windows for 8 plus years, only ever updating my graphics driver.

[Evan_Greenwood]

4 days have past with no crashes at all after turning off XMP and installing the WIN11 Chipset drivers.

Seems we fixed something thank you very much hopefully it stays like this. My next question is, since you noticed my chipset wasn’t installed and other things, what were the other things not updated/installed? Is there a way you can help me figure that out so I can be sure everything else is working properly?

Thank You

Good news and means that this thread can now be marked as solved.

My next question is, since you noticed my chipset wasn’t installed and other things, what were the other things not updated/installed? Is there a way you can help me figure that out so I can be sure everything else is working properly?

The only thing that is left outstanding is what you were advised about manually overclocking the RAM, how to manually overclock the RAM is nothing to do with the problems that you were having and me being opposed to OCing in general means that you can only be as advised previously, read your MBs user manual for how to manually OC the RAM to 2666MHz, below are some pointers from previous replies;

Go into the BIOS, disable XMP and then [COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)]manually set the RAM to run at 2666MHz and the voltage to 1.35V, save the new settings then exit the BIOS.

The user manual for the MB should tell you how to manually OC the RAM, download it from the MSI website if you haven’t got a copy. any problems just disable XMP for now.

If you have turned off XMP and installed the Windows 11 chipset drivers that was all that you needed to do for now, if you have no further BSOD as was said in my reply #29 leave well alone

You must do the above and then test the PC for a day or so, if no problems, you leave well alone, ( Added to ) [COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)]Tested for 4 days without any problem means that you now have a stable computer.

Note the regular " if no problems, you leave well alone, " advice, heed it and unless you are real unlucky you will not need the help of tech forums again.

You are welcome and stay safe.[/color][/color][/color]
