Im having issues with a BSOD at random times, It used to say Kernal Security check failure. I now do not see any error codes it may restart before i see it. It does Auto Restart. My PC has the following Specs:
OS: Windows 10
MB: AsRock Z170 Gaming k6
CPU: Intel core i7 6700k
GPU: GeForce GTX 970
RAM: DDR4-2133 32GB
I went through the posting instructions and this is what i have. Any help would be appreciated. Just think my machine should be working properly.
Thanks,

Hi LongStrangeTrip,
Welcome to the 10blog
Please check ASRock for BIOS updates and install the most recent version.
ASRock > Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming K6
Thank you for the reply, It seems im running version 2.0 and 2.8 is available... I will look into updating and let you know how it turns out. Again thank you!!
Update: Cant figure this out, i am getting an error that i cant figure out. I am going to attack a photo of what it says to me.
Try running it as Administrator. Could also set compatibility to Windows 7 or 8 or 8.1.
Or you can use the Instant Flash method, see here: ASRock - BIOS Upgrade Instruction
Please do NOT edit a post, post a new reply instead.
Alright i was unable to figure this out still. i feel computer illiterate now. I will do a few things going forward before i completely give up lol... Here's what i've tried and what i plan on trying:
Tried putting the bios on a cd. when i try to boot it it says there is no image found. I don't think the bios are an image.
Tried the flash option for updating BIOS and once again it found no image.
Tried internet flash: says no firmware updates are available.... But it still says my version is 2.0 i don't know if that's the version in my reports.
I tried runnning as Admin and i still get the same picture that i posted in #3
I will buy a USB stick and try that, Seems that's what most people are using.
I will be the first to tell you that i've only had a PC since mid march and i am still learning. But this is something i thought should be simple and i've been humbled lol. Any other advice would be appreciated and i appreciate the time you have already put into this situation.
What version did you put on the CD? I hope the CD is rewritable?
Instant flash and and windows. But maybe they couldn't find it because i did not finalize? its a Sony CD-r which shouldn't be rewritable correct? i can add and delete files from the cd as i please. they are old cds i had from years ago. Like i said ill stop at the store before work today and grab a USB flash to do this with. What version should i be downloading?
I think there might be a problem with the CD, that is what I would think of sooner than of a problem with either of the update methods.
Bought flash drive, and was able to successfully update the BIOS to version 2.10. I appreciate the help and if it continues to happen should re-post logs here or start a new post. I am grateful for all the help that i have gotten. Thank you.
