Good morning,
Thanks for adding your input.
i am checking the link you sent while im at work and it looks like there is a few links on that one i need to go through to get to the very beginning of this process which is to have the usb, download median creation tool, install it on the usb, and then to the first link where it shows the installation.
i can look into that in more depth when i get back, however, i can describe to you the process i went through from the beginning.
i inserted a 64gb usb drive. went to microsoft's website, downloaded the creation tool, started the creation tool, it installed on my usb drive, i rebooted and set my boot as the usb drive, went through the windows 11 installation setup and used that to format/delete the current OS m.2 drive and clean installed windows.
when it is about finished installing, right at the end, i get the page fault non page area issue and the computer resets and brings me to the windows setup where it just ask me basic personal questions. Typically, this is where i would have issues installing the windows updates multiple times, but the last few times, i have had no issue getting the latest updates it seems up to 22H2 version. Everything seems to work fine.
I do the sfc scannow and other dism commands to make sure everything is fine. typically, i would have some errors, however, the most recent installs have been fine. no errors. But like always, i still have the issue with my geforce drivers failing initially. its like they have to be reinstalled multiple times before it works. Eventually, it installs and i try to play games like hogwarts/callisto/etc. anything that has dx12 and preloads the shaders just instantly crash with the "Out of video memory" error.
Both my 4090 gpu and 3090 gpu have this same error on this particular system. both cards have been tested on my windows 10 computer with a 9900k processor and work fine. so its not the GPUs and i dont think its the driver from nvidia because that same driver is on my windows 10 build.
This makes me think that there is just something missing in the files somewhere and its never replaced no matter what is done. Initially, that makes me think its an OS issue, but i wonder if there is something cached in the motherboard or maybe in the m.2 drive that is corrupted causing this issue.
I tend to believe its not the storage device because i also have clean installed windows 11 a few times on another m.2 drive and i receive the same exact issue. I have also tried different m.2 slots and different pcie slots for the gpu. same issue.
I know a little bit about PC's just from tinkering with them over the years and personal troubleshooting such as this but i am not an expert. I wonder is there a way to get these parts completely factory reset as if new. Maybe reinstall/update the bios as well? Idk.
One thing i would like to ask is that i have a new motherboard on the way today and i want to install the 13900k cpu from this system on to that and also use the second m.2 drive as a boot drive with win 11 OS, however, do you think there would be any issues using that drive since i used it to test the issue on my current system and had the same problem? is it possible that if the problem was my primary m.2, could it have corrupted my motherboard somehow and then also, when i tried using the 2nd m.2 to test with the OS, that it also got corrupted as well? it makes me afraid to install that 2nd m.2 into the new motherboard. i dont want it to have the same problem.
