Built a custom computer a month ago and have been having BSODs ever since. Took it back to get checked and was told I had a faulty motherboard. The brand is MSI Z97S SLI Krait edition. I had my motherboard, ram, and CPU replaced.

Wiped everything and replaced windows but the BSOD returned. Had my BIOS changed to stop UEFI and updated all my drivers. Was told that would fix the problem but less than 30 mins after using a VPN the BSOD returned.

My suspicion is that I might have an issue with my PCI card since it s the only component I didnt get from my local electronic store and most of the BSODs occur when using WiFi. I've also been having "limited connectivity issues" but im not sure if these 2 are connected. The PCI brand is Tp-link TL-WDN4800.

Mini dump file and pic of blue screen also attached.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you check your SATA cables are seated correctly at both the motherboard and the hard drive, then run the following checks.

:ar: Run SeaTools to check the integrity of your HDD (Do not use on an SSD). http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/313457-seatools-dos-windows-how-use.html

:ar: Run chkdsk. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/433-disk-check.html

Please fill out your System Specs.

First of all, thanks for the help! Ive updated my system specs and run the Seatools and disk check. There was an HDD error while first running Seatools but it hasnt come when i ran it a second time. Is there a similar way to check out the SSD?

You can run chkdsk on the SSD. There's also Samsung Magician you can download, I'll link it later for you as I'm on my phone at the moment.

I ran the Samsung Magician and my SSD checked out fine. At this point I've ran tests on both the HDD and SSD and the results have been good. Does anyone know if Crystal Disk Info checks compatibility between drives? Im not sure if it's necessary to run more tests after checking both drive individually.

If the F4 error is related to a drive issue and both my drives check out fine, what else could be causing my BSODs?

Possibly the SATA cable or port on the motherboard. Try changing cables and see if the BSODs persist, then try different SATA ports on the motherboard.
