Hey there! It looks like you're diving into some interesting forum discussions. From what I see, there are a few driver issues popping up—specifically DriverPowerState errors and ntoskrnl crashes around the 9th. It seems like the power supply unit might be fine, so the problem could be software-related. Clearing Windows completely and trying again is a good idea. Also, curious—does this issue appear only with EldenRing, or have you tested it with other heavy games?
It often occurs with numerous games where opening Elden Ring every time results in perfect replication, causing crashes—similar to GTA or Maya when modeling. It’s usually due to issues with the code, though it’s been stopped before. Sometimes it just happens when the browser or model is turned on.
So to do this... it seems like the simplest option, but I don’t want to lose any files. There must be a way to detach and reattach them after opening a new window in Windows 11.
Use a backup drive for safety. It's wise to save crucial information, especially if you can afford it. Installing on a new drive is recommended so you retain your previous setup. Once transferred, clean the drive (use DiskPart to delete the old boot partition) to free space for new games or files. If you proceed, remove the old drive during installation. Connecting multiple drives might confuse the installer. Alternatively, consider the "Reset This PC" feature, though I remain cautious about keeping old files.
