Thanks for your help, :wave:

By the way, I also wanted to add that sometimes when I start the system, you can hear the fans for a couple of seconds, so it feels like the system is starting, then it stops like it shutdown, and then it powers up fine. It's like a fake start.

By the way, correction in post-above: Windows 7 has been was installed in this system for 6 years (not 2) until Windows 7 went out of support, and I felt it was best to upgrade to Windows 10.
 
Hi Mcbbcn,

Have you updated your videos drivers since upgrading to Windows 10? The most recent minidump (Verifier enabled) is blaming the NVIDIA Streaming Kernel.

Uninstall your current video drivers, and install the latest ones from NVIDIA, then see if the issue persists.

Xer, thanks a lot. I really appreciate it. By the way, a bit of my dummy assumption, I assume that if I uninstall existing drivers instead of installing of top of the existing ones, the system will be able to work without drivers after I uninstall them.

I'll do it tonight and report back.

Best regards,

Miquel

Yes you should be fine, it will use the default windows display drivers. (You may have a weird resolution but that will be all)

Michael, thanks for the calls, I'll look for newer drivers. By the way, on the RAMDisk that I have installed. I read your comment, are you recommending that I install Intel Rapid Storage for a ram disk?

...and last, is there a way to know which driver caused the IRQ issue?

Thanks for everything man!

Thanks for validation Laxer. I'll report back the findings.
 
I was able to install the new NVIDIA drivers after much work. I kept getting the NVIDIA can't continue install message and the I learned there's a tone of links of people complaining about the same issue. In order to fix the install, you have to modify the .inf files which I did and the install recognize my hardware. If you google the issue, you'll find a tone of information. In the end, the install completed correctly with no errors.

Next, I'm looking at my RAMDisk from DataRam. I've opened a ticket with all the information asking them how do I get a compatible Windows 10 version which they advertise on their website but somehow I don't see link for updating my version. However the documentation says that I should be able to get the latest version as I paid for a license. After I'm done with this one, I'll research the x10 and jmicron drivers. And then, I'll run verifier again and see what happens. I'll report back once I'm done with all the above steps. I appreciate a lot everyone's help.

System information - msinfo32 - shows 12GB.
Perfmon shows TotalPhysicalMemory 12882890752 (I calculated 11.998GB, hence it also shows 12GB).
Dumps show:

That's total chaos to me, I can't understand how your RAM is collocated nor their manufacturers and models (for bank 2 and 5, at least)...
Could you post all their manufacturers, models, memory (of each stick) and collocations?
And, when this problem appeared?
Was it always present from the beginning?

If you have 2 corsair sticks of 8GB each one (and they have got the same model) and other 3 corsair sticks of 2GB each one (and they have got the same model), I'd put the first two in the slots 2 and 4 and the other three in the slots 1, 3 and 5.
I.e.:
  • First blue slot (the one near the cpu): 2GB
  • Second white slot: 8GB
  • Third blue slot: 2GB
  • Fourth white slot: 8GB
  • Fifth blue slot: 2GB
  • Sixth white slot: empty

Edit time finished...:banghead:

I wanted to write these configurations (in the previous post, the configuration isn't correct):

  • First blue slot (the one near the cpu): 2GB
  • Second white slot: 8GB
  • Third blue slot: 2GB
  • Fourth white slot: 8GB
  • Fifth blue slot: empty
  • Sixth white slot: 2GB

OR (the following is probably the better)

  • First blue slot (the one near the cpu): 8GB
  • Second white slot: 2GB
  • Third blue slot: 8GB
  • Fourth white slot: 2GB
  • Fifth blue slot: empty
  • Sixth white slot: 2GB

Hey Xilolee :wave:

I can try that. I think the gap in memory could be because I'm using a RAMDISK from DataRAM which is using 11Gb. I need to upgrade the driver and software as I was advice by Michael above.

Thanks so much for your help,

Miquel
 
Here's one quick update on the help that I received so far.

I uninstalled JMicron JMB36X driver and the system seemed to be a lot faster right away. This driver does not have a Windows 10 compatible driver but some people recommend that install the latest version (which I've not done). I think this is the driver related to Intel Rapid Storage that Michael was referring above? Not sure...But I tried to look for Intel Rapid Storage in my system and I could not find traces of it. I also looked at DriverView from NirSoft and I could find any Intel Rapid Technology drivers but if there's another way to check, please let me know. I think the JMicron Driver is only needed for RAID, and I don't believe my system uses raid.

I also borrowed a Power Supply Tester and the power supply seems to be fine which it makes the whole mystery with the system starting up for 2-3 seconds, then turning off, then starting up quite a mystery. I'm going to try a deep reset (CMOS reset) and see how it does tomorrow.

That's where I'm so far.

I'm planning to upgrade my RAMDisk next.

Thanks everyone for your help.

Miquel
 
Hey Xilolee,

You just helped me discover the problem with the power supply fake start-stop and the real start. It's ram and I have switch the configuration around and your first one 2-8-2-8-2 makes the power supply problem go away, so thank you so much. You're awesome! :)
 
Which of the two?
The first incorrect 2 - 8 - 2 - 8 - 2 - empty or the first correct 2 - 8 - 2 - 8 - empty - 2 ?

(With five sticks, the fifth slot farther the cpu must be empty)

Thanks a lot Xiloxee. I definitely have my hands full for the next few days as I want to do the memtest86 and the HDD diagnosis and make sure that everything is good.

Regarding memtest86, I was planning to do 20+ passes for each stick -I'm not sure how long that takes for each stick- and everything I've read is one memory stick at a time. So, I'm planning to run the first first stick in slot 1, then remove the first stick and run the test for 2nd stick in slot 1 and so for. I think this is the way to do it but if it's not right, please let me know.

Thanks a lot

Miquel

The first white slot should be considered the slot 1.
It is the one nearer the first blue slot near the cpu.
Hence you should use the second (white) slot, starting from the cpu.
(Hope I was clear... :grin1:)

I'm not sure I understand, but am I supposed to use just the second white slot to test all the sticks? So, I put the first stick in the 2nd white slot, I test it, and I remove it, and then I put the second stick in the 2nd white slot, I test it, I remove it, and the. I put the third ram stick in the 2nd white slot, I test it, and I remove it and so for? 🙂
