Everything started when I was playing Overwatch yesterday afternoon. During a game, the image froze and sound was looping indefinitely. So I restarted my computer, and got a BSOD on startup : IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. After the PC restarted again, i launched the game and after 5 minutes it froze, saying "Overwatch crashed in the graphics driver [...]" Then a few minutes later I got another BSOD : PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA.
After that I could only use my computer for 5-10 minutes between each restarts before a BSOD appeared, either KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED or IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.
I thought there was a problem with my GPU driver so I downloaded the new one from nVidia's website, but halfway through installation my PC crashed again.
Now I'm stuck in a BSOD loop, preventing me from getting to the windows login screen. I can enter and modify Bios, but can't boot in safe mode because it also leads to a BSOD.
I have tried booting from an install CD and via USB, but I get yet another BSOD after clicking either on the install windows or the repair option.
I get this problem with and without my main HDD (where windows 10 is installed) connected.
I have tried booting with one ram stick at a time, and ran memtest86 with 0 errors after 4 passes. (Should I let it run for longer?)
I also tried booting after disconnecting the GPU, but the PC kept rebooting over and over.
My specs :
I9-9900k
MSI Meg Ace Z390
G. Skill Trident Z Royal 16GB 3200Mhz CL14
Asus Rog Strix 1080ti OC
Main drive WD Black 1TB
Samsung 970 evo plus 1TB m.2 SSD
The CPU was OCd to 5.0GHz and cooled with a Corsair H150i Pro
The RAM was OCd to 4133MHz CL 16
I have reset the cmos so now every component runs at stock speed.
Here is a list of every error I got :
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
SYSTEM_PTE_MISUSE
KERNEL_AUTO_BOOST_INVALID_LOCK_RELEASE
APC_INDEX_MISMATCH
KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE
The two first errors are the ones I get consistently, especially the first one after each reboot.
Could the Motherboard or CPU be at fault?
Thank you for your time.
