GPU fans usually run faster, but black screens appear.

The Kernel-Power incidents from severe crashes can reveal BSODs (blue screen of death) situations, especially if GPU fans stall at full speed—a sign of a GPU failure. Even without a visible BSOD, these checks are useful. Other issues include frequent Bluetooth timeouts and abrupt crashes when Windows unloads the driver. These problems typically occur immediately after the Kernel-Power event, which records the unexpected shutdown. This suggests two possibilities: either the system is severely damaged causing constant freezes, or the events happened before the crash but aren’t recorded until after. The IOMMU (Integrity of Memory Management Unit) is also flagging errors, mainly on the CPU side but involving both CPU and motherboard. It ensures that devices without direct memory access don’t interfere with memory operations, which can trigger crashes in older hardware. The error message points to a specific address (0x1000) and hints at a memory issue. The fault details mention hardware-specific information, making it hard to pinpoint exactly what’s wrong. Extended data suggests this could relate to the IOMMU itself or the BT card, which might be linked to the crash. Your BIOS is recent, but updating it can improve stability and compatibility. Consider refreshing the Bluetooth driver—your motherboard may support multiple BT/WiFi cards, so choose the correct one. If crashes persist, examine your BIOS for options to disable the BT card or physically remove it. Hopefully, resolving the BT issue will calm the IOMMU and prevent further problems.
The crashes continue to happen. The new PSU will be delivered tomorrow, and my previous one will also be shipped that day.
A fresh PSU has been installed, no issues yet. Notably, the latest RM1000X model now includes a separate 12VHPWR port rather than the previous pigtail adapter. In reply to @Levent, I reiterated that whether EXPO 1 is active or not doesn't affect the problem. The issue persists.
