I told Corsair about a single error I saw, and could not repeat, on Memtest86 and they promptly sent out new memory. I have been running it two days and so far so good. It is hard to believe that this is a memory problem, because of my extensive testing, but it may turn out to be after all.
I will continue to run the system and see what happens. Frank |

Bummer. Got a replacement motherboard and ran it for two days, and just got my first BSOD. Same error - IRQL NOT LESS THAN OR EQUAL. This is driving me bonkers. I am not a PC tech, but I have build dozens of systems and NEVER had any problems like this.
I think I might go with an ASUS motherboard (cheaper option), or try a new CPU (ouch). I need to replace things - I am tired of testing. It should not take 2 months to get a new system up and running, should it? Frank

Nope. You followed what was suggested by the manufacturer. Send her back.
Sux though you got a bad board. Unfortunately it happens every now and then. |

The ASROCK guys recommended testing one memory stick at a time in memory Slot 1. To get this latest test done I have been running tests (well, playing a game, lol) almost continuously with time off for eating, sleeping, and an occasional movie since Thursday at 9 am, and it is now Monday at 4 pm. Good thing I am retired!!
So I did not plug in that PCIE power plug yet - I did not want to change two things at once. The results: With just a single memory stick plugged in, I cannot get the BSOD to come back no matter what I do. I tried each of the 4 sticks, one at a time, as recommended, with no other changes since I got 2 BSODs with all 4 in place. (One before and one after removing and reinserting all the memory). ASROCK support said that if I passed this test, I should send the motherboard back for replacement, and I think that makes sense. If you guys have any other thoughts, please share them soon, since I need to get the board back. I want to thank you all for your helpful comments, too! Frank

Frank, I've seen stranger things be resolved with only plugging/powering this connection.
Everyone's system is different. Number of PCIe devices, how many "splits' off a PSU rail, and maybe to some extent the differences in PSU design and manufacturing. |

Wardog,
I could plug in the PCIe power - I did not do that since I have only the one card and the manual describes using it for '3 or more graphic cards'. What is your thinking on it? Lack of power causing some kind of instability resulting in the 'IRQ NOT LESS OR EQUAL' error? It is a bit of work, but I already have a couple of weeks of effort into this build already anyway. Frank

Passed huh? Well, hmmm
Frank, do you have a 4-pin molex plugged into the motherboards PCIE_PWR1 ? That might be advisable to try plugging one in there before re-seating the processor. |

Update:
Just finished full cycle of 4 passes in a little over 23 hours of continuous running.
No errors were found. This is with all 4 sticks in place - 32G total. Frank |

No, not a single one. It still doesn't mean a 100% certainty my memory is okay, but since this is just my personal computer I at the moment use for random stuff, there's really no point in running the test for weeks.
Unfortunately it doesn't quite work that way. If the error is intermittent, then it may in principle take anything between a few seconds to several days (maybe even longer) for it to occur, depending on the severity of the issue.
You can also run more than four passes if you want. The more passes you run, the larger the chance to encounter an intermittent error. The fact that you have already seen an error once should mean you had an issue with your memory and the persistence of the BSODs is in my opinion a sign that the issue hasn't really gone anywhere. By the way, what was that single error you encountered the first time you ran MemTest86? I'm not sure if MemTest86 overwrites the logs it creates on the bootable USB, but if it doesn't, you should be able to find the logfiles on the USB stick and see what the error was. |

I think I will try a CPU-reseat. The cooler is that Noctua D16 and is bigger and heaver than any I have ever used. On the question of other errors - no - there has not been a single hiccup on video errors or anything else. The installs have been clean and error-free, especially since I have done three separate clean Windows 10 pro installs on this system.
Again, thanks for the excellent input Frank
