OS - Windows 11 x64 Was installed just under six months ago using USB. Intel i5-9400F Zotac GTX 1070 ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. PRIME B365M-A (LGA1151) MWE Bronze V2 550W Desktop I thought about mentioning that I experienced roughly six blue screens over the past few months. Probably didn’t notice much at first because they spread out and didn’t happen one after another, unlike now. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gdDmb2E...sp=sharing The link points to my dump files. Unfortunately, I can’t retrieve them from the "Resource and Performance Monitor" – it’s supposed to finish in about 60 seconds but is now running into the fifth minute. However, I do have a screenshot of Windows’ "Reliability Monitor," which might help.

Ooft, That looks like a klanger! Get a Win 10/11 USB made up and do a fresh install. You could try a 'repair' but assuming you've got everything backed up in the cloud and your not risking loosing anything, do a fresh install.

I attempted "Startup Repair" in Windows System Recovery, but it reported an issue and said I couldn’t fix my PC. Since I don’t have any backups, I haven’t taken any action yet. I usually skip this step because I lack funds for another drive, though I do keep some files online via cloud storage. It seems odd, but my OS is on an SSD rather than a traditional HDD, so a new installation shouldn’t impact the latter, right?

It shouldn't be a big problem. Keep an eye on the drives and partitions you're removing when setting up Windows. I've cleared some incorrect drives before, so be careful!

Sure, just let me know. I'm here to clarify the issue and discuss your options. The problem you're experiencing might stem from various factors—checking system logs, recent updates, or hardware issues. Regarding a clean install, you can delay it for as long as needed, but proceeding without addressing the root cause could lead to further complications. Continuing to use the PC as-is carries risks, so it's best to investigate before deciding.

Confirming the images shared are not BSODs—they’re just error screens indicating corruption. The Sysnative collection included three dump files today, and they appear more like RAM than storage. Both RAM and storage can look similar since low-priority RAM is often placed in the page file on disk, treated almost like RAM. A crash could damage the OS, so a reinstall might be necessary. If BSOD occurs during reinstall, try replacing one RAM stick at a time. If several sticks show the same problem, consider switching to storage. No physical harm detected, but the OS is likely to become more corrupted.

Well, I guess I should explain what the images I shared actually show. I experienced BSODs, but I didn’t realize I was taking pictures at the time. Thanks for the tips on RAM—I’ll remember to pay attention during a new install.

The dump files come from BSODs, which means you definitely encountered them before. I just needed to make sure about this.
