Apps occasionally trigger CTD and at times cause BSOD!
Apps occasionally trigger CTD and at times cause BSOD!
What's the issue? Many programs and games often stop suddenly on your desktop. Examples include SteamVR (Error 203), Battlebit Remastered, VRChat, Blender, Unity, Discord, 3DMark, Star Citizen, and various BSOD codes like IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR. EQUAL_TO ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. I've already tried nearly everything!
Hardware fixes attempted: swapped CPU, changed RAM type, updated motherboard, removed overclocking, used different RAM sticks, replaced power supply, upgraded GPU, cleared USB devices, and adjusted BIOS settings.
Performance checks: MemTest86+ ran smoothly with no errors; CPU stayed around 56°C idle and 85°C under load. I also tried Windows 11 on a new SSD and Windows 10 on the same drive, with clean startup and minimal background processes.
Software steps: Installed Windows 11 on a fresh SSD, removed unnecessary apps, updated drivers, and scanned for malware. System logs showed frequent errors (0xc0000005, 0xc0000409, 0x80000003) and file corruption. I ran SFC, DISM, CHKDSK, and updated all relevant drivers.
Still facing problems despite these changes. The crashes happen quickly, sometimes in under a minute. If you need more details, feel free to share the minidump files or screenshots from Windows Reliability Monitor. I'm here to help!
Test a LiveUSB version of Linux Mint (similar to Windows feel) by booting only from USB. Observe any crashes—this indicates poor hardware compatibility. If crashes occur, the issue is likely with your hardware. If no crashes, the system runs as expected, suggesting it's software-based under Windows.
