Windows 10 BSoDs over and over

by |Published

I hope you’re having a good day. I need your help.

I have an ASUS ROG Strix G513IC (2022) laptop that i use for video editing, art, games and study. It has been going mostly fine, but recently it has been bluescreening over and over, especially during high intensive tasks like video editing or gaming (but there are instances of it happening during simply browsing or low-intensive tasks too, although rarer).

The error codes are IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED and ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE MEMORY. nvlddmkm.sys also appeared a few times as the supposed source of the problem, but doesn’t always do.

Before each BSoD episode, there is often a cue – the computer suddenly starts stuttering and sound gets choppy for a few seconds before everything temporarily goes back to normal, and then suddenly the laptop bluescreens with a loud quickly stuttering repeated chopped noise of whatever sound played at the time.

Also: my laptop seemingly refuses to boot whenever a RAM stick is inserted into slot 1 or both slots are used, despite booting normally if only slot 2 is occupied. Yes, I checked and everything is clicked and seated correctly.

Things I have tried so far:

  • Changing RAM sticks and trying different ones. All are functional, but only in the second slot, and the issue still happens no matter if i use the older or the newly bought ones.

  • Running DISM, sfc /scannow and chkdsk

  • Reinstalling Windows from scratch

  • Updating NVIDIA drivers and NVMe and IOMMU drivers

  • Cleaning the laptop from inside

  • Powering off my computer and unplugging the battery and letting it sit like that for the night to reset CMOS but idk if that did the job because there’s no CMOS battery in there. I also tried resetting BIOS to standard settings through the BIOS menu itself. Also updated BIOS.

  • Checking SSD health for both drives. Everything seems fine.

Some additional information in case it gives clues. May be not related:

  • I used to dualboot Win10 with Linux Mint on a separate SSD. When I reinstalled a clean Windows install I backed up everything knowing it probably will get wiped and it did.

  • I used Windows Debloater. I always used to do it because I hate all the telemetry and stuff, and I used my laptop debloated like that for years before any problems even happened.

  • My WiFi adapter doesn’t seem to let me connect to my home WiFi. Ethernet or other WiFis work okay. Idk if it’s related.

  • My laptop performs faster when gaming when plugged into a charger. I don’t know why.

Honestly, I am kind of at loss of what to do, and I hope I won’t have to replace my laptop, so I hope someone here is able to help me. Thank you.
