Are you experiencing frequent blue screen errors and game crashes?
Are you experiencing frequent blue screen errors and game crashes?
Hello, I hope this message finds you well. I've been facing some issues with my computer lately and am unsure how to proceed. Every few days, it triggers a BSOD at random times, and most of my games also crash during play. The temperatures seem normal, so I've checked for updates and looked online for assistance. Below is the link to the last two files from the minidump folder:

Please let me know if you can help, and I truly wish to resolve this problem.
My PC details:
- AMD Ryzen 5 3600
- B450 Tomahawk MAX
- MSI RTX 2070 Super
- ADATA m2 1tb
- g.skill 2x8gb 3600mhz CL19
I’m confident I’ve included all necessary information; if not, feel free to share more. Also, here’s the link to my system info file:

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
The file luafv.sys along with antkrnlmp.exe appears when reviewing your .dmp file.
You might want to attempt Startup Repair; hold down the Shift key during a reboot from Start>Troubleshoot>Advanced options>Startup Repair. Check if it resolves the issue.
Where did you obtain the OS installer?
I performed the action and received a notification stating that the System start-up could not repair my PC. Here is the log file:

I obtained it from the Microsoft site. I attempted several solutions found online, but nothing resolved the issue.
Please upload the complete kernel dump file. I'm concerned about the 0x101 CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT issue and need the full dump for analysis. This bug is significant as the recent dump shows a 0x101 error, and it's linked to a serious CPU problem that triggers a BSOD when the processor fails to respond to clock synchronization interrupts.
I wasn't able to locate this file on my computer, so I searched online for instructions. From what I learned, it seems sufficient to adjust the advanced system settings to enable kernel memory dump and monitor until another BSOD occurs. If that works, I'll share the file once I get a BSOD.
You don't need to modify the dump settings, maintain it as 'Automatic Memory Dump'. If the kernel dump appears missing, it's likely removed by a disk cleanup utility. Hold off on using those tools until the issue is resolved.
Only upload the kernel dump if you encounter another CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT BSOD. Given your ongoing issues, and considering the 0x101 BSOD hints a CPU problem, consider running Prime95...
Download Prime95 and a CPU temperature monitor (CoreTemp will suffice). Ensure the temperature monitor stays active throughout Prime95 execution to prevent overheating.
Execute the smallFFT test for at least an hour. Should Prime95 produce error messages, cause crashes/freezes/BSODs, or reach 95°C on your CPU, cease the test and inform us of the outcome.
Note: The small FFT test places greater stress on the CPU than RAM, while the large FFT test does the opposite. The Blend test combines both. We suspect the CPU, so the small FFT test is most appropriate here.
Thank you for the update. I downloaded the programs you referenced, and right after launching Prime95, the computer froze immediately when I clicked OK to begin the test. It then displayed a BSOD after a short delay. This time, I located a MEMORY.DMP file in the Windows directory. Here is the link:

In the meantime, I started a second test and it completed without a BSOD, but I will let it finish for an hour as you advised.
After roughly 35 minutes of testing, the temperature hit 95 degrees, so I halted the experiment. The average temperature was around 80-85 degrees, and just before reaching 95, it began to increase. Here is the link to the test log:

For now, I won’t begin another test and will wait for your reply about the MEMORY.DMP file and this message.
I'm not entirely clear on how to describe the situation, but I saw that Worker#1 and Worker#2 each had one error. Here is the exact text from the link provided: Rest of workers 0 warnings 0 errors
If you encounter Prime95 errors, it strongly suggests the CPU is unstable. Running it without overheating is also problematic, as a well-cooled and stable processor should handle Prime95 smoothly over time.
Tell me about your CPU cooler and power supply unit.
You might also consider using OCCT and stressing the CPU to verify stability. (This method is what I use for testing the reliability of my new builds)
