Suggestions for cause(s) of Windows BSOD Aorus Gaming Ultra

[paul bristow]

I am getting persistent blue screen crashes with a variety of stop_code messages like Critical_structure_corruption, that all mean 'something went horribly wrong'

It is a fresh plain Windows 10 1809 installation, fully up-to-date.  Just sitting idle except for running windows task manager, and resource manager, the MTBF is about 6 hours.

No overclocking, everything on auto, memory stock speed (and has done a 24 hours memtst86 test OK).

Processor test Passmark OK, and highest temperature of hottest CPU is 50 C (watercooled).

Motherboard BIOS is latest F5, AMD drivers latest too.

Tried two other graphics cards with similar results.

Any suggestions on what else to try?

Anyone with a similar configuration that works OK?

Thanks

Paul

Greetings,
You have way too many connected devices, which will make bench testing or troubleshooting difficult.

I'd try running sfc /scannow from a elevated command prompt to start.

[AgentFXA]

The latest bios is F6 - try this one but flush the bios first

[paul bristow]

Sfc /scannow and file system checks, backup and restore and normal Windows oepration are are OK.

Installed F6  (and chipset update with AGESA 1.006).

48 hours memtst86 ran OK

But gigabyte support still claim memory is No 1 suspect.

Memory Information:
Total Physical Memory: 16330MB
Available Physical Memory: 13827MB
Memory Devices:
Slot 1: 8GB DDR4 SDRAM PC4-25600

   XMP: 1.35V, Clk: 1600.0MHz, Timings 16-18-18-36

This is not exactly in compatible memory list, but same specification.

(and I can't find any exact matches for sale - can anyone recommend a supplier of 'known good' memory  type 16 Gbyte).

Tried three other graphics cards.

Same BSODs - about once per day.

Other symptom - sometimes POST hangs going round a cycle of LED lit: SYS,DRAM, VGA, SYS, DRAM, VGA ...

but reboots after a 20 second mains poweroff.

Suggestions very welcome.

I am running 16GB HyperX Predator 3200 and it's working just fine
https://www.amazon.com/HyperX-Predator-Technology-HX432C16PB3AK2-16/dp/B07GL6CLTT

I would start with xmp 3000 for a week and when all fine then switch to 3200

hope you got a quality psu?

Edit: If you have blue usb3 port problems when moving big files between usb3 devices install the GByte chipset driver just once then overwrite it with the current AMD drivers - this is fixing the issue
