Asus Maximue VIII HERO Constant BSOD

GG_Bois
Level 7

Update 4... 29 August 2017
so, I got new replacement GTX1060 from Asus (Thanks Asus Indonesia),, and retest the machine.. No BSOD on Page Fault and no driver issues anymore, but BSOD Whea Uncorrectable error.

I build second machine (for my wife's personal use) on the same day with mid range i3 Kabylake, Gigabyte Gaming, Cordair Value Ram, Galax GTX1050. tested the 1060 graphic card in this machine, works flawlessly. Asus replace my card with a decent one.

then I put the i3 CPU to my PC, AIDA64 test to 1 hour, no BSOD.
I put the i7 to my wife PC, WHEA Uncorrectable Error still occurred.

I'm going to RMA i7 6700K.it says full replacement on 3 year of warranty.


CONCLUSION:

Page Fault BSOD--> caused by Faulty GTX1060
WHEA Uncorrectable Error --> caused by Intel i7 6700K...

Thanks Asus Indonesia.

Update 3
15 august 2017... RMA to Asus after contacting NVIDIA chat support. She said it was Asus VGA GTX 1060 Strix HARDWARE FAILURE.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


8 August 2017 (non-retarded date system). Plase note that i'm doing this on my win7, fo win10, not tested yet.

UPDATE 2: THOSE things on first update still survives AIDA64 for about 30 minutes then still BSOD. i'm going back to safemode, uninstall NVIDIA driver using GURU3D uninstaller. Uninstall driver + WIPE ALL STUBBORN FILES.

Go to NVIDIA page, click Driver Tab, input your system... Download only the confirmed one. Install on safemode.

MAKE SURE YOU CHOOSE CUSTOM INSTALL, WIPE ALL PREVIOUS DRIVER.(tick clean install)

ONLY INSTALL 3D DRIVER. UNCHECK ALL except the driver. DOESNT MATTER.

Finish. Restart in normal mode. Let everything non-overclocked like what i wrote on the first update below.

Open AIDA64. System stability test.

Mine runs really smooth for hours. After all problems, its NVIDIA's tool (other than driver).

Hope its helps you guys in same problem with i7 6700k and Z170 Chipset
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE guys ITS NOT ANTIVIRUS...

BLUE SCREEN COMES BACK 1 DAY after its stable after uninstalling antivirus... so I went to BIOS, set the i7-6700K back to its stock speed (Set Core ratio limit to 40, --> result = 4000 MHZ), set cache min 8, max at 40
and set DRAM frequency to mobo specification: 2133MHZ and go to DRAM TIMING CONTROL --> Maximus Tweak --> Mode 1.

save setting and restart.

since the CPU its stock profile and RAM goes to Maximus Hero Compatibility, it survives AIDA64 System Stability Test for half an hour.* FYI, CLR Cmos button did not set your CPU to its stock config. It still highlighted the target CPU speed to 4200MHZ. so you need to set it manually

Dear All,,

I desperately need ur help., my build get constant BSOD,, it was relatively more stable on Win 10 Anniversary, but always with constant BSOD

OS Win 10 x64/win7 x64

with APC 1100W, and AVO stabilizer.

I tried everything:

-Reinstalling Windows 10 -->BSOD
-Remove RAM (single channel) (2 slots) -->BSOD
-1 Slot RAM only-->BSOD
-Swapping RAM with many combinations -->BSOD
-Run Memtest Overnight-->RAM OK no issue -->BSOD
-Update all drivers -->BSOD
-Upgrade and Downgrade Nvidia GTX1060 Strix OC 6GB to stable version -->BSOD
-Uninstall Nvidia Graphic Driver -->BSOD
-Uninstall and Unplug PCI-e -->BSOD
-Install intel graphic driver (from Motherboard support disk and Asus site) -->BSOD
-Update windows version from Anniversary Update to Creators update -->BSOD
-Deep Search for malware using N*rt*n Internet -->BSOD
-Uninstalling Antivirus N*rt*n Internet Security -->BSOD
-Reinstalling Win 10 to change C:\ from HDD to SSD (I bought NEW SSD to fix this BSOD)-->BSOD
-Update UEFI BIOS file -->BSOD
-Setting RAM Frequency and Timing to Factory from BIOS -->BSOD
-Change SATA Cables -->BSOD
-Update Intel Z170 Chipset Driver (from Asus sites, download July 2017)-->BSOD
-Run CHKDSK --> All Drives in good condition-->BSOD
-Install Western Digital HDD utility to check Disk --> WD Disk Healthy --> BSOD
-Install Transcend SSD utility --> SSD Healthy -->BSOD
-Install Seagate HDD utility --> Healthy -->BSOD
-Defragment SSD and HDD as system file (C:\)-->BSOD
-Installing Win 7 (original) using Asus EZ Install (Downloaded from Asus Site)-->BSOD
-Run cmd. lines diskpart.exe--> win 7 succeeded installed -->BSOD
-Doing all items above on win 7-->BSOD

but, my PC is okay on Safemode with some BSOD during startup.

this bsods looks like most of the error comes from. I analyzed it using WhoCrashed.

WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR
page_fault_in_nonpaged_area.


What is happening guys?
Shall I took it back to the store??

I bet its CPU CACHE problem

Windows 10 Fast Startup (Fast Boot) and BIOS Fast Boot are unrelated.

try another CPU ..
or if u can stress test the CPU CACHE by using AIDA64

Reset all UEFI settings to default then save and restart. Set the CPU to a manual 1.25 and see if you still get the BSOD.

Also, it was a bit unclear previously: you have installed, not restored or cloned, to a SSD and an HDD and still get the BSOD?

im pretty sure I moved from HDD to SSD (freshly install) when installed win 10 after first package of BSODs.
then everything is at peaceful state.

then come in the CREATORS UPDATE (False GOD updated) so much wow that almost every 10 minutes BSODs, even after reinstalling (win 10 on same SSD). I tried installing win7 on other HDD and its also BSOD.

But they was really fine at SAFEMODE. not a single blue was taken dat day.

now who's fault is this?
Hardware or Software? CPU or Motherboard or Ram?

even I got BSOD's after remove the GPU and using only 1 ramstick. pressed the MemOK button and CMOS.
nothing happened on SAFEMODE.

No problems in safe mode makes me think a driver is causing this. Open PowerShell (admin) and run sfc /scannow and see if system files are intact.

Because of the bsod you get I would also try the manual cpu voltage I suggested earlier. Anything 1.25 - 1.30 is fine to test that idea.

thanks Man,

but,

I found the PROBLEM! dang it!
****** Antivirus (* to avoid tag on google when someone is googling that brand) is causing damage to my systems. Both win 7 and 10 is intact now...

UPDATE

guys ITS NOT ANTIVIRUS... BLUE SCREEN COMES BACK 1 DAY after its stable after uninstalling antivirus...

so I went to BIOS, set the i7-6700K back to its stock speed (Set Core ratio limit to 40, --> result = 4000 MHZ), and set DRAM frequency to mobo specification: 2133MHZ and go to DRAM TIMING CONTROL --> Maximus Tweak --> Mode 1.

save setting and restart.

since the CPU its stock profile and RAM goes to Maximus Hero Compatibility, it survives AIDA64 System Stability Test for half an hour.*
FYI, CLR Cmos button did not set your CPU to its stock config. It still highlighted the target CPU speed to 4200MHZ. so you need to set it manually*

too bad i already unsubscribed the antivirus and got 50% refund...*
