Fatal1ty K6+ BSOD - Need some fresh ideas

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I have a self built system misbehaving badly and need to determine the 
cause of the issue so I can replace something. I'm convinced it's a 
hardware or BIOS issue. I've had 136 Blue Screens on the main build. 
I've also had 39 blue screens on a clean installation with a different 
hard drive over the course of my adventure.

I highly suspect 
motherboard or RAM compatibility but I'm not sure. The blue screens 
occur more frequently when copying large files or running long hard 
drive diagnostics such as Seatools long generic or chkdsk /r.

System:

Windows 10 Professional with all updates and latest drivers
NZXT Phantom 630 Case
Seasonic M12II 750W EVO Edition Bronze PSU
ASRock Fatal1ty Z170-Gaming K6+ Motherboard
Intel Core i7 6700K
Corsair Hydro Series H105 Liquid CPU Cooler
Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 16GB
Samsung 850 EVO M.2 250GB SSD
MSI R7790-1GD5OC 1G DDR5 7790 PCI-E VGA CARD
TP-Link Archer T9E AC1900 Wireless Dual Band PCI Express Adapter
Multiple Seagate Barracuda 3TB ST3000DM001

Things I've tried:
Clean
 install on a different hard drive with everything removed or 
disconnected, including all cards, all hard drives and the M.2 SSD.
Running on individual RAM sticks.
Disabled chipset features Killer E2400 and Realtek Audio.
The GPU and Wifi cards have been removed and I'm running onboard video and onboard Network.
MemTest 86+ V5.01 - 36 hours with both sticks in A2 and B2 - Zero errors after 22 passes.
MemTest 86+ V5.01 - 12 hours per stick in A1 - Zero errors after 8 passes.
SFC /Scannow
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth /ScanHealth & /RestoreHealth
chkdsk /r on all drives (two drives have never completed this but the system still crashes with those drives disconnected)
Default UEFI settings is much worse than with the XMP memory profile loaded but both profiles crash.
Latest BIOS V2.60

So,
 can anyone suggest another plan of attack or something I've missed like
 a checkbox that says "behave"! I'm really at the end of ideas. I'm happy to replace anything but I need to work out what I 
need to replace.

I now have time to work on this 100% so I'll keep plugging away and update this thread as I try suggestions from you guys.

Cheers. Mick.
