Hello I'm hoping for some help.
I strongly believe I have a hardware fault but need help diagnosing precisely which part has failed.
Here are two memory dump files as well as an msinfo32 file, both fresh.
For the last two years I've been running stable on an i5 9600k (medium OC), with xmp profile on, a mild OC on my 1070ti. Every piece of hardware is bought new from a store and is all under or on 2 years old.
Recently I was having tremendous trouble logging into Citrix for work, so I decided I may as well reinstall the OS clean as I hadn't done that in a while. I got myself a new Kingston NVMe drive for it too. At the same time, I bought an i9 9900k processor (I have updated the BIOS for it)
After installing the two new components the BSODs started; they have been so severe that they usually corrupted the NVMe drive entirely causing BSODs more frequently until eventually preventing windows from booting - requiring a fresh windows install. I followed the best practice guidelines for windows install (unplugging other drives, installing, updating, installing drivers, then installing programs starting with Avast antivirus). Have been running absolutely stock defaults on everything including BIOS settings.
I initially thought I may have a faulty NVMe drive, I've reinstalled Windows once more on an m.2 SATA drive I know to be working well for some time. I have removed the NVMe from my system entirely. I am still getting BSODs (the mem dumps are from this install).
Each BSOD has a different reason, such as thread exception, memory configuration, and probably about 5-10 other ones.
It can BSOD when just sitting idle. No OC. It's even hard crashed when in BIOS, possibly because it had XMP profiles on.
I haven't moved my RAM since I installed it, the CPU doesn't really go over 60 degrees even under 100% load, I clean-installed the GPU drivers. No matter how many times I reinstall Windows I get the same problem.
Full disclosure a single pin is ever so slightly bent on the motherboard. But I don't want to jump to conclusions on that since the 9600k worked just fine under the same conditions. But really I am thinking it's either that or the CPU I bought is dead on arrival.
If someone is able to narrow down my diagnosis process I would be most grateful. Is it maybe my BIOS? My CPU? My RAM? Even just narrowing it down/ruling some things out would be helpful.
Thanks in adv
