[W10ProV1703B15063 x64] Recurring crashes, dpc watchdog violation & clock violation

*Edit: Got backnin long enough to get it on onedrive then to my phone, report is attachrd

So this week I upgraded my CPU, MOBO, and RAM, and also got a new keyboard, new second monitor, and mic, here's what i have now:

I7-7700k
Asus Prime Z270-a
16gb corsair vengeance rgb ram
corsair H60 CPU cooler
MSI 970
Corsair CX750M PSU
Samsung Evo 250gb hard drive
Roswell AC wireless adapter
Corsair K70 Keyboard
Razer Naga Mouse
2x Asus VX238 Monitors
Blue yeti mic

If I forgot something let me know. Below is a dropbox link to minidump that have been zipped.

Dropbox - Dumpfiles.zip

So far i've made sure all my drivers are up to date and they seem to be according to device manager. One of the monitors I had to run a hdmi cable because I dont have another DVI to HDMI, that is a change that happened with these upgrades. new cable is coming so I can just use dvi-hdmi for both, in the mean time I have disabled all three sound drivers (nvidia, windows, blue). I ran ram check three times and no faults.

Thank you for your help.

Re: Recurring crashes, dpc watchdog violation and clock violation

Hi Jakethesnake27. :welcome:

Are you using these ram sticks?
VENGEANCE LED 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16 Memory Kit - White LED (CMU16GX4M2C3200C16) (click)
(Good, because your motherboard support shows they are in the QVL)

Most of the BSODs show memory_corruption.
What "ram checks" did you try?

Why did you disable audio devices?

It seems (but I could be wrong) your wireless adapter is using the wrong driver, the one for windows 7 (bcmwl664.sys) instead of the one for windows 10 (bcmwl63a.sys).

A new BIOS firmware is present on your motherboard webpage: you can update it, if you'll follow your manual instructions very carefully.
Given that "ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3" is a utility that should help to prevent BIOS corruption during the updating process, I'd first use that (i.e., before the BIOS update).
I'd avoid the "EZ update" method, i.e. I'd avoid to update the BIOS in windows.
Download the bios using an ethernet/cabled connection: I'd avoid to download it using a wireless connection (if possible).
DO NOT SHUTDOWN or RESET the system while updating the BIOS.
After the bios update, and after a system reboot, ensure to "load optimized defaults" for your bios, then save the settings.
 
Re: Recurring crashes, dpc watchdog violation and clock violation

I thanks for the reply. The ram check I ran was from the command prompt.

I disabled the audio devices because when I mentioned the hdmi monitor thing someone suggested that the nvidia and native audio driver may be conflicting, but they hadnt reviewed dumps or anything so it wasnt the most qualified opinion. When I get home i will check the wireless adapter, i installed from the cd but maybe i clicked the wrong option. I will also *carefully* update bios.

Thanks for your help! I'll follow up in 4-5 hours hopefully.

More specifically I opened cmd prompt and entered mdsched.exe and ran it upon restart.
 
Re: Recurring crashes, dpc watchdog violation and clock violation

I didn't understand what "ram check" you did from the command prompt.
Could you explain it a bit more?

I know there are some utilities to check the ram sticks (sometimes, it is advised to test one stick at once):
1) Windows memory diagnostic.
2) memtest86 (memtest86.com): last update 27 Feb 2017 (it is the more updated tool at the moment).
3) memtest86+ (memtest.org): last update 27 Sep 2013 (almost four years ago).
4) there are other less known (and less advised) tools.

Yes the windows memory diagnostic tool is what i ran to check it.

Re: Recurring crashes, dpc watchdog violation and clock violation

Ok, I see you used the windows memory diagnostic tool.
What options have you used? You can choose between basic, standard and extended.
And you can run the test for 15 passes.
It took about 2H38min on my system (Pentium G645 and 6GB RAM), with the extended test and 5 passes.
I calculated it could have taken about 8 hours, if I had chosen 15 passes.

If you tried the standard settings and one or two passes, my advice is to try the extended settings and to do it for 15 passes.
Then, I'd try also memtest86 or memtest86+ (your choice, or wait another reply from BSOD experts).
 
Re: Recurring crashes, dpc watchdog violation and clock violation

I ran it on the basic setting if i recall correctly, it was under one hour.

I will try the more exhaustive test tonight, then maybe tomorrow before i leave for work i will run memtest86.

Thanks!

Got homelater than expected but the that solution set worked! Thank you for your help!
 
Re: Recurring crashes, dpc watchdog violation and clock violation

I didn't understand...
What was the solution that worked?
Did you update the BIOS and there aren't BSODs anymore?
Or have the windows memory diagnostic tool found a defective RAM stick?
Or what? :confused:
