Having five different Blue Screen of Death messages? Maybe your board is broken.
Having five different Blue Screen of Death messages? Maybe your board is broken.
I have this weird problem where my computer crashes (blue screen) only when I work in After Effects. It happens for these reasons: the graphics card can't handle some settings, it uses too much memory, a timing error, an error on the hard drive, or something with the storage system file. Then a new error said my computer is trying to write data to a part that isn't supposed to be writable. This just started happening. What do all these errors connect together? I am not really an expert either. My graphics cards came back from a repair but both were turned off in Windows during editing times. Every time I plug in a USB, the whole PC gets super slow and stops working until I restart my computer. When I checked my RAM it had no problems with memory testing. When I checked my hard drive, a program found one damaged sector on the drive that is used for editing. My hardware specs are: an MSI motherboard, an NVIDIA graphics card, 32 gigs of DDR5 memory, and an AMD processor.
Welcome everyone! I'm new here. Let me tell you about my computer: it's an MSI CARBON WIFI X670E with an NVIDIA 3080, lots of RAM, and an AMD Ryzen 9 7950x. When someone asks for help, we need to know all the parts they use. Please write down your specs like this: CPU, cooler, motherboard, ram, hard drives or SSDs, graphics card, power supply unit (and don't forget the age of the PSU besides make and model), BIOS version on your board now, then send me those .dmp files to check them out. Also, I moved this thread from the Motherboards section over to the Systems section.
I have an AMD Ryzen 9 7950x processor and a CPU cooler that I do not know. My motherboard is the MSI Carbon WiFi X670E. I have 32 gigabytes of DDR5 RAM, along with many hard drives: one 930GB NVMe, one 931GB HDD, one 894GB SSD, a large 12.7TB HDD, another 931GB SSD, and several smaller ones like the 1.81TB NVMe and 465gb NVMe. I also have an Nvidia graphics card named a 3080. For my power supply, I don't know what it is because I bought it two or three years ago at the same time as my motherboard, CPU, and RAM, so I do not know the model number. When I look for a .dmp file, I am confused about what that means. My computer BIOS version is 7.01.08.129.
Yeah, I see it happens with Vegas and Photoshop too. They both use the same drive, which is already having problems because of a bad sector. Is a bad hard drive even making your graphics card disconnect?
A 6th blue screen came up recently, and it says that the computer tried to write data but couldn't read from the RAM properly.
When I keep getting BSODs that won't go away, my advice is to check my RAM with a test. The best tool for this is memtest86, but you can use a USB stick to start up the computer and run it there. Windows even has a built-in memory tester called Windows Memory Diagnostic, where you can set it to run after turning off your PC. That option isn't as good though.
Does the hard drive holding all the apps and having some bad pieces of data also contain the operating system?
