New GPU, mostly the same crashing

Question

I replaced a GPU that finally died (visual artifacts), but I was also getting crashing tabs on Chrome and random blue screens, the latter especially while gaming, usually with buzzing sounds, but it wasn't the only issue? I still get those latter two issues. What's going on? It's always something different on the memory dump.

Answer 1

Hi Smith

Your minidump files just indicate memory (RAM) corruption no specific driver is listed

1

Go to the support page for your B450M DS3H-CF Motherboard on the manufacturers website, then from there, download and install the version of Chipset drivers they recommend and while there, check for any BIOS update that may need to be installed

2

Wait to see if your system stabilizes, if not, the best option is to download the widely available free utility MemTest86, then run a full 4 pass scan with that to test your RAM for physical errors

Answer 2

Only the paid version of that app allows 8-passes. Memtest86+ doesn't boot on my pc. It claims there is no OS on the drive with it.

Answer 3

OK https://mega.nz/file/6jYl1CLQ#IYhzlDc2tJdd7EMSteUyfydcOYx8klcd6KpLOaCkV9s

Answer 4

The printout shows that the cause is memory corruption.

Run a full 8-pass test using Memtest86: https://memtest86.com

Answer 5

Hi Smith_5

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Please check to see if your PC is producing any minidump files, I will check those to see if they provide any insight into a potential cause of the system crashes.

Open Windows File Explorer.

Navigate to C:\Windows\Minidump

Copy any minidump files onto your Desktop, then zip those up.

Upload the zip file to the Cloud (OneDrive, DropBox... etc.), then choose to share those and get a share link.

Then post the link here to the zip file, so we can take a look for you.
