    BSOD on fresh skylake computer build


    I'm using windows 7 at the moment and only have chrome and steam installed. I'm using a wireless adapter that may or may not be the cause of the crashes, anyways here is the dump files if anyone could analyze them.Attachment 369604

    Your dumps are pointing towards memory corruption (or a bad driver passing bad info into memory)
    I would start by testing your ram
    RAM - Test with Memtest86+

    Thanks for pointing my toward the RAM. Now that you said that I went to re-seat my RAM and saw that my heatsink fan was touching the closest stick just a bit, I moved the fan up to take any pressure off the stick/DIMM slot. I'll update if I get another BSOD (and actually see if I own a usb stick for memtest86). I'll also update as solved after a day or so if that really fixed it.

    I got another BSoD after removing the first stick so I ran memtest and narrowed it down to 2 sticks with errors, I ruled out broken DIMM slots with the 2 non erroring sticks multiple times. RMA started and I don't have a guilty conscience about returning them due to the second stick that didn't have pressure on it throwing errors as well.
