Windows 10 NOT installed, yet STILL getting BSOD?

Let me just preface this by saying, I will literally pay you if you help me SOLVE this issue. Seriously, it's been going on for months and no seems to have a solution.

Here's my build list: http://ift.tt/2BYVCsT

So here's the issues: Ever since I installed the Windows 10 Creators Update I have had completely insane issues with software AND hardware. It started with my computer getting stuck in an endless loop of BSODs with error codes changing every time (ex: KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_ERROR). From there, I took the following steps to repair the issue:

  1. Use the Windows Restart "Automatic Repair" function - every time I tried this it just crashed during the install

  2. Tried to flash Windows back to old version - system says there is no old version to go back to

  3. Nuclear Option! - Wiped the SSD boot drive, put the Windows 10 ISO onto a USB, booted to the USB via BIOS and tried to reinstall Windows 10 fresh - I get about half way through the process until I get a BSOD again... This is strange because Windows 10 is NOT installed on the SSD and the HDD is disconnected 3a. I also tried loading Windows ISO onto multiple USB drives, tried each in different USB slots, etc. 3b. I also tried booting from the USBs WITHOUT the SSD or HDD connected - still crashes during install

  4. Removed CMOS battery to reset BIOS entirely - I then went into the BIOS and tried to boot through the USB with Windows 10 ISO on it and immediately received a BSOD

  5. Tried step 4 once again, this time without the GPU installed. Did not work.

  6. Tried step 4 once again, this time with only one stick of RAM (I swapped each RAM stick into each slot.... nothing worked)

  7. Ran Memtest - found that RAM was getting errors - Sent RAM back to G.Skill, received new ones. 7a. Tried to install Windows again - still received BSOD

  8. Sent MOBO back to MSI and received new one. Just rebuilt my PC an hour ago with the new MOBO and new RAM - STILL GET BSODs!!!

At this point, I am at a complete loss of words. Literally the only piece of the puzzle that's left is the CPU, but honestly it makes no sense that the CPU would cause BSODs when Windows is literally not installed on anything, GPU is removed, SSD/HDD are removed, new MOBO, new RAM... Same philosophy with the PSU - there's no way this could cause BSODs when Windows is not installed.

So, does anyone have a clue as to what the issue could be? I've posted this is in multiple forums and everyone is at a loss for words and cannot help me. Seriously, I'm desperate and will pay! lol :(

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
