Experiencing odd BSOD issues for some time now. The only times my PC doesn’t crash is during gaming sessions or when idle while streaming or browsing. Recently, a tool identified BSOD errors using ntoskm.exe, suggesting a memory issue. After checking online fixes, most advice pointed to a memory problem. I ran a Windows Diagnostic and it showed no problems. Then I tried memtest86 with both RAM slots intact, completing all four tests and receiving a perfect green result. I’m unsure what else to try besides resetting the system, though websites suggested factory reset could help. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Is your processor pushed to its maximum performance? Do you have an XMP configuration for your RAM? How fast is your memory operating?

No need for overclocking or XMP profiles. The task manager shows the speed at 2133 MHz. Default settings are recommended, with 16GB Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro RAM at 3200MHz.

I would visit your motherboard manufacturer's website and attempt to update the BIOS and drivers there initially.

Here are the same codes you've encountered with the Bluescreen Viewer over the past week or two. Let me know if you need further assistance.

They also mentioned another choice on the sites. However, I've never changed my BIOS before, so I wasn't keen on altering it. Still, I might give it a shot.

You need a stopcode such as memory_page_in_unpaged_area or iqrl_not_less_or_equal. That’s the most useful information.

It's simple thanks to the modern motherboards. Usually you get a download, put it on a USB stick, restart to BIOS and open it. Be careful during BIOS updates—don’t turn off your computer! lol

I'm sorry to hear that. From what I recall, there was a mention of a clock watchdog timeout in a screenshot from April. It's unclear if the latest error codes match, but I'm not entirely certain.
