my guess is OS corruption or bad hard drive.

A dual (or multi) 12V rail power supply that is only being loaded on one 12V rail will also produce similar results if all that is being powered through the motherboard rail only (I've seen that happen all too often over the years and causing the same problems). ;-)

Cheers.

Hard drive is new its a Samsung SSD 860 Pro. This machine was just build not too long ago with a clean new copy of Windows 10. Only thing I've did since was transfer the OS from a HDD to a SSD.

What's a good PSU brand that everyone uses?

You didn’t upgrade to AGESA 1.0.0.4 did you?

no. :)

Look up "PSU tier list" in your favorite search engine. The top tiers are best.

I prefer EVGA PSU, you can get extended warranties and they offer cross shipping. They used to be really good about their RMA but I've found in the last few years the are starting to skimp. Corsair is also a brand I've used as well as Rosewill.

I use the Corsair "Platinum" line. My Hackintosh, (iMac 18,3 Profile), is on the Corsair HX750i - 750 Watt PSU.

I'm powering an Intel i7-7700K, two Samsung 860 Pro 1TB SSDs. One for MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6, and one for Win7 Pro x64. Also have two GPUs, one MacVidCards' NVIDIA GTX-1070 8GB Card, and one EVGA GTX-1050.
Also have a Fenvi FV-T919 WiFi-AC & Bluetooth 4 PCI-e x1 Card.

The HX750i is completely modular.

Btw, the latest and most updated list is at

Looks like I am the odd ball here preferring Seasonic PSUs due to their 12-year warranty on top of their line up. I had excellent experience with their support when I had to RMA one PSU recently. I kinda feel all premium PSUs are good, regardless the brand. While the price premium looks steep at first glance, once you factor in warranty, it's totally worth it.

Isn't the tier list mostly about features? I am sure many of them indicates good quality but I am a software developer and feature creep drives me nuts. :-P

No, it's about quality and price to performance. My preferred brand is Seasonic as well, since they're always in the top lists. And the tier list mostly shows, what's in the lowest tier, replace quickly before it takes out all your hardware or your house.

Thanks just ordered one from that list. Hopefully this is the solution.

Thanks to all for suggestions. I would have never thought about the PSU being the issue.

New one just now. While trying to watch a video on face book.

I got two cheap EVGA GT 710's to test and one of them still gives me BSOD on the B450 Gaming K4 (Ryzen 7 2700x) MB my AB350 Pro4 (Ryzen 5 1600x) doesn't give me a BSOD.

Have you swapped the video cards over to see if the fault moves across systems or not? Swapped the PSUs between systems to see if the fault moves across systems or not?
Checked for BIOS updates for the system with issues that address the issue in question?

Symptom 1: 0x000000BE error screen

This error is triggered when a driver tries to write on a read-only segment of your computer’s memory. If the system manages to identify the driver that caused the error, that driver is going to be mentioned near the STOP message on the Blue Screen of Death screen.

The most popular causes that can trigger this error:
•Faulty or corrupt device driver
•Incompatible firmware software
•Corrupt system services

If the driver responsible for the error can be identified, its name is printed on the blue screen and stored in memory at the location (PUNICODE_STRING) KiBugCheckDriver.

Troubleshoot blue screen errors


NB- while unrelated to your present issue, if you plan on using the video cards to process Seti work, the last working Win10 driver for using the SoG application is v431.60. Later drivers will result in some Arecibo WUs erroring out.

I haven't swapped everything. However, when I put the GTX in the other machine with the Ryzen 5 I get a BSOD. It doesn't get a BSOD without it. It works fine. So I assumed it was the GTX 1050 so I put a GT710 in the Ryzen 7 and I still get a BSOD. I'll put the new power supply in when I get it. Just ran Memtest again just to see....passed again. Then, I'll assume it's what your suggest.

When you've got one system that works, and another that doesn't, swapping things between them is generally the quickest way to find out what the problem is.
Although if the motherboards are the same brand, the issues with the GTX 1050 & the GT710 could very well be related to the BIOS. Either it's version, or settings relating to video cards and/or system memory. Hence the error related to writing to a non-writable section of memory.
If it is the power supply, the existing PSU must be extremely poorly for the load of a GT710 to cause issues.

Writing to non-system memory is probably a BIOS issue. You've not mapped the VGA space properly or something. Not normally needed on a single gpu system but look for Above 4G decoding setting in the BIOS and compare the BIOS settings between the working system and the non-working system.

Just updated the BIOS last night. From 3.21 to 3.40. Computer came back on no BSOD yet but It's not an every day occurrence. PSU arrives Friday. I'll put that in if I get a BSOD again. : )

Just received my PSU in the mail. I got a Corsair RM850x.... next BSOD it goes in. :)

BSOD today:

New power supply installed..... now I hope it stops so I can put my GTX 1050 back in.

This Corsair RM850x is so quiet compared to the old one. I can barely hear my fan now most of the time. When I have Seti@home running it speeds up a little bit but nothing like before. And no BSOD for a few days now. :)
