I just recently upgraded my motherboard/RAM/CPU from an old DDR3/8350 setup to DDR4/Ryzen 1600. Before this, everything was great.


I initially had repeated bluescreens that prevented me from booting at all, and Memtest86+ showed an insane number of errors when run.

The first step I took was installing a nice, fresh Windows install. Still, the errors continued.

However, after updating my BIOS, everything became much more stable. I now can run Memtest86+ for multiple passes and see 0 errors, and windows works fine.

Except when it doesn't.


I kept getting random "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" BSODs that BlueScreenView says are caused by ntoskrnl.exe

So I ran Windows' Driver Verifier utility as explained here

This caused a BSOD loop until I ran verifier /reset via a SafeMode command prompt.


Now that I'm back in Windows, I see two dumps created by the BSOD loop. Both read:

Bug Check String: "DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION"

Caused By Driver: "rzendpt.sys"


From some googling I figured out this is a razer driver. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling razer synapse, but don't know what else to do.


I've run a CPU-Z stress test, and that doesn't cause a crash. I've run a UNIGINE benchmark, and that doesn't cause a crash. I've run Memtest86+ again, and I made it through two passes with 0 errors. I've tried playing some games. That SOMETIMES causes a crash, but not consistently. It's usually during loading screens, but other than that, totally random.


Below is a OneDrive link to a zip containing all of my .dmp files since I performed a system restore during this process. Please help me :(
