Windows 10 Need help with BSOD / ntoskrnl.exe+ 1c14e0

[Brepsel]

Hey all,

I've been having a lot of issues with a variety of BSOD's, but the one thing that they all have in common is the adress: ntoskrnl.exe+ 1c14e0. From the last couple of days its been:
KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION

Before that it has been a variety of other BSOD's, but unfortunately I don't have the minidumps of these BSOD's anymore.

The crashes seem to come at random. Except I can sometimes recreate it when I play Fifa. The latest BSOD happened whilst I was watching some Twitch. On the other hand, when I play alot of other games, I don't seem to get a BSOD. Can you guys help me? Because I'm at a loss here.

I've tried a variety of solutions: from the driver updates to diskcheck, scannow, memtest86, you name it.

I've attached the zipped W7F folder to the post.

Thanks in advance,
Brepsel

Hi,
the last dump file I checked mentioned LEDKeeper.exe. This apparently belongs to an app called 'Mystic Light' from MSI and is known to cause issues.
Try removing it and see if the issues stop.

 

[Brepsel]

Hi kemical,
Thanks for checking out my issues. I had indeed noticed that LEDKeeper.exe was mentioned in the last dump file as well and have removed it to be sure. I'll let it know if I run into new BSOD's or if it fixed the problem.

 

[kemical]

I created a RGB system myself but i didn't realise how awful some of the software is. Anyhoo I hope this works out, nothing worse than having an itch you can't scratch lol..

 

[Brepsel]

Well unfortunately that wasn't it. It crashed again whilst playing fifa. I can play a game like Rocket League fine for hours and no crashes at all. But when I play Fifa, it gives me a BSOD pretty quickly. This time I got:
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (d1)

I checked the minidump but I couldn't get any information that I could do anything with. If anyone can have a look, that would be great!

Attached the new W7F folder, with the latest BSOD

 

[kemical]

Hi,
I saw dump files for LEDKeeper and HyperX Nguity software. If the LEDkeeper didn't change anything when removed try uninstalling the HyperX stuff.
If this still fails to sort the issue you could try running driver verifier.

Before you do make sure you have a recovery usb at hand as the verifier can cause a boot loop. If this occurs you boot into safe mode using the recovery usb and turn the verifier off.
This guide helps some:
Driver Verifier - BSOD related - Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7 + Vista

 

[Brepsel]

So I ran Driver Verifier, after I got another crash saturday evening after no crashes for the entire day (after having played a variety of games, it crashed later in the evening whilst playing 'Gang Beasts'). Whilst running Driver Verifier I had put Fifa on so I could easily force a BSOD. But that wasn't the case. I had put it on for a large portion of the day, but I couldn't get a BSOD. Yesterday evening I decided to turn Driver Verifier off again and try to put Fifa on. And what do you know, SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION within minutes.

Turned Driver verifier back on following the guide @kemical posted and let it run overnight with nothing else running. Woke up this morning and couldn't get my screen to show me an image so I had to restart. I checked to see if I had a minidump and I did have one from this morning when I restarted: WHEA_UNCONTROLLABLE_ERROR.

So i'll let driver verifier run a bit longer but I've got doubts if it'll find a driver.
(Added the latest two minidumps to the zip file, if anyone can have a look to see if they can find anything, that would be awesome )

 

[kemical]

I had a look through but nothing driver wise was showing. Bugcheck 124 can be caused by a large number of things ranging from overheating, hardware issues and buggy software. I've even known Chrome to cause this issue (found by accident).
Your best bet is to ensure all your drivers and bios are the latest versions. Go to your motherboard support page and update if need be:
Support For MPG Z390 GAMING PRO CARBON | Motherboard - The world leader in motherboard design | MSI Global

Also view any third party software with suspicion, if you don't use it anymore then remove it. Anything you do use ensure it's the latest version.

Try running the Intel diagnostic Tool: Download Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool

How long did you run Memtest86 for?

 

[Brepsel]

I already ensured my drivers and bios were the latest versions.
Since I didn't know anymore I went to a computer repair store with my system. They installed a different psu (1000w vs the 750w I had before) telling me that the the power supply was sufficient enough. They also checked the rest of the hardware with BurnInTest and it came out without any errors.

So once I got the system back friday I was in high spirits, hoping and thinking the problem was fixed. However it was not... Upon testing it once again with Fifa I got a BSOD again. And testing again this morning, another one:
SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Memtest86 I did twice for about 4 hours I think. No errors both times.

Did the Intel diagnostic Tool as well, no errors there.

So I'm at a loss. It doesn't seem hardware related, but I also can't find any driver that could be causing it. I find it so odd that the system won't crash when I have driver verifier on. How come I get a BSOD with Fifa without driver verifier within minutes. But when I turn on driver verifier it won't happen?

Kind regards,
Brepsel

Hi,
sorry to hear your issue continues.

Chasing down a bsod cause can sometimes be a pain and i understand your frustration.

Is your Windows install from an iso or usb? Also when was the last time you installed windows?

Can you post the dump files as the more we see the better.
