Problem description: Games wreck my computer, specifically first person shooters. Not even that new, necessarily. Fallout 4 hosed it up, but so does Deadcore. I've had a lot of memory management errors, a lot of irql_not_less_or_equal, and generally, the more I do video games, the more frequent the problems become until I have to reinstall windows, which fixes it for a minute. Attempted fixes: Updating drivers, removing old drivers, pulling the RAM to see if it was faulty (I've tried both 8gig sticks solo, so theyre either both faulty or fine), complete reinstall, memory scans. Recent Changes: It's a new computer that I attempted (and failed) to build myself. I took it to a local computer repair place and had them put it together for me. It's been problematic from day one. Operating System: Windows 10 Home, 64bit System Specs: Stole a build from the part picker thread! CPU: Intel Core i5-6600 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor Motherboard: ASRock H170 Pro4 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard Memory: G.Skill NT Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 970 4GB STRIX Video Card Case: Fractal Design Define R5 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case Power Supply: EVGA 650W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM (64-bit) Location US Read the FAQ yup, and googled so much, so often Additionally, here are my recent memory dump files. No errors for about a month because I didn't have time to gently caress with my comp so I stopped playing games. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BxU0S5OBeElRNEQzeEVXMjUtUFU&usp=drive_web

Well, I poked the bear to get more error reports, and now I got another irql_not_less_or_equal BSOD while reading the AV club and watching poo poo on Youtube.

Have you done a scan using memtest or just the Windows one? If not, try this overnight at some point: http://www.memtest.org/ Also, do a scan using the portable zip edition of CDI to check HD health: http://crystalmark.info/download/index-e.html If both of those show no errors I'd make sure you're using the latest motherboard BIOS. Looks like one just came out a few weeks back: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H170%20Pro4/?cat=Download&os=BIOS
