X370 Gaming X Fatal1ty Windows 10 blue screen

Hi,

Thanks for the response. I forgot to list the video card, it is a Quadro P1000. I have been running the machine plugged into a Killawatt and while I admit I have not paid a lot of attention to it, the highest I have seen is 155W during a Solidworks render.

As for BIOS settings, I have XMP set. I have not seen the CSM setting, but will look into that today.

I have only installed chipset drivers (from AMD) and Quadro drivers from Nvidia.

The BSOD has been irql_not_less_or_equal at least once. There is no dump file, I will try to get it to save one today.

Thanks!

Hi!

First thing I noticed - PSU is a bit underpowered for your setup. I didn't see what GPU you are using, but depending on its powerdraw the culprit may be your PSU. Remember not all of its 550W are drawn over the 12V rails!

Even though Seasonic make decent PSU, check the 12V ratings of yours and calculate some approx. power consumption of your CPU, GPU and mobo. You can even monitor those with HWINFO or a wall power meter.

Other than that, if I was in your situation I'd have done this:
- total rebuild of the system, bit by bit
- leave the mobo outside the case on a non-conductive surface (no carpets, rugs or similar!)
- leave just the CPU, 1 stick of RAM, GPU and a boot drive
- clear CMOS
- leave BIOS at its default settings, turn on only XMP profile for thr RAM, and disable CSM
- try downloading latest (1809) build of Windows
- install Win from scratch
- install only chpset drivers from AMD and GPU drivers from the respective brand
- put different components under stress test, one after another, then all at once; monitor and record power, volts, temps.

Also, what is the BSOD errors? Sometimes they do tell a lot. Windows error logs also may contain a clue.
