Constant crashes after playing games for so long Windows 10

I ran driver verifier again with the options listed.

Please continue to let it run for at least 48 hours, you might still be able to still play games at the same time. It'll run in the background, so if you have any other crashes, then please stop DV and then upload the dump files as you did before.

I ran a Windows Memory Diagnostic.

That tool isn't that reliable, I would suggest running MemTest86 after we've finished with DV.

Driver Verifier finished clean and I am currently running memtest86. A little over 300 errors on pass 3. I will test each ram stick afterwards to see if one is faulty.

Update: My parts are all basically brand new but I found out the previous owner only did one thing when he had this system in terms of overclocking, and that was using an XMP profile. I have set it to auto, and I am running another memory test with all 4 sticks in. First pass has just finished with 0 errors. I will let it cycle 4 passes. I would let it go longer but I have school work to do.
 
I apologize for not catching that XMP was on earlier. You guys probably would've assisted me better with information.
 
I am spamming this thread but I am pretty confident that XMP was the problem! I ran 4 passes of memtest86 with
no errors and I have been able to play BOCW for a solid 8 matches in a row now. I thought XMP was supposed to automatically overclock ram to a stable level
but perhaps not. Why wouldn't XMP work correctly? Is it by chance that my computer can't handle it or is something wrong?
 
Nice troubleshooting!

XMP is simply a memory overclock. Some hardware configurations handle it and some do not. I don't believe it automatically optimizes to fit.

Since you had a huge amount of memory errors with XMP on, none when it is off, your Ram is not stable with the XMP overclock. If your happy without the errors, I'd leave it off.

You can check for a BIOS update for your mobo. (You already have the latest BIOS). Also, check the Intel Support Assistant for chipset updates.

Here you can find Intel's Memory Certification Program to find RAM that is compatible with Intel's XMP firmware.

Of course, have a valid backup or at least create a restore point before making any changes.


Thanks for letting us know.

Thank you guys for leading me in the right direction! You guys are awesome. Was an absolute headache getting a new unstable PC. My ram is
advertised as having XMP 2.0 support, so I'm not too sure why they couldn't handle it. I'd rather have a stable OS in the long run, but that is odd.
 
Odd, I would contact the manufacturer and find out why it doesn't support XMP, even though it has been advertised to do so. In all fairness, considering how fast hardware is become these days, I think overclocking will eventually become a thing of the past.
