Identify and resolve crashes and blue screen issues.
Identify and resolve crashes and blue screen issues.
I recently assembled my first personal computer (see attached). It functions quite well, around 90% of the time. Occasionally, I face problems while gaming, with crashes occurring across multiple titles—not just one. Sometimes it even causes a blue screen. I've investigated possible causes but haven't found much clarity. My CPU stays cool, all parts are brand new, connections remain solid, there are no leaks, and my cooling setup is complete (though not everyone prefers it). My power supply seems overly powerful for the components I have. I'm puzzled and hoping someone can offer useful advice on resolving this issue. The games I play or stream include SCP: 5K, Red Dead Redemption 2, Hell Let Loose, PlanetSide 2, Warthunder, Assetto Corsa, Beam.NG/BeamMP, VTOL VR, and Phasmophobia, among others. I've reduced graphics settings to some extent, which helps a bit but isn't a complete fix. I've also shared my component list.
I haven’t noticed any error messages since the blue screen appears instantly and restarts itself. There’s only a brief moment—about half a second—to notice it’s frozen and then it reboots. I’m running Corsair Vengeance at 6600 MT/s with a C32 memory setup.
Use Whocrashed to view the error codes from your recent blue screens. The 6600 RAM is quite demanding. Check if XMP is enabled and try disabling it to see if that fixes the problem. Next, test the system at 6000 MHz.
