Identifying issues
Last night my whole PC crashed unexpectedly, refusing to boot into Windows and repeatedly displaying BSODs. In the Event Viewer I only saw a kernel power error code 41. My setup includes two Wi-Fi chips: one on the motherboard (Intel AX211) and another added via a replacement card (GC-WBAX210 with an Intel AX110). Initially, I resolved the issue by disabling the unused Wi-Fi chip in Device Manager during safe boot and updating drivers. However, this time the problem persisted—especially when trying to install the driver, which triggered an error stating "one or more issues caused the setup to fail." I downloaded a driver package and selected the one from Device Manager that didn’t cause crashes, but it still led to frequent BSODs. Once I restored my original BIOS and hardware, the crashes stopped temporarily, though they returned when I reinstalled the OC. Now I’m back to experiencing more frequent BSODs despite everything seeming stable. I’m hoping for improvements like XMP support and iGPU tuning, but getting everything back would be ideal. What could have changed this? Any suggestions or overlooked steps?
It says nothing about your BSODs in relation to the bluescreenview tool.
It resolved itself automatically through a quick check or full diagnostic mode, though I'm not sure which method worked. I'll go with the option.
BSV offers a solid tool for analyzing minidumps. Remember to check recent software suggestions before use. Including crystal disk details could provide more insights. Running SFC and DISM scans is also recommended.
I received ntoskrnl.exe and ntfs.sys, tried a full Windows reinstall by wiping the drive, but it didn’t work and I kept crashing before finishing. Now I’m going to format the C drive to check what happens. All clean results so far @RONOTHAN## Thanks for your help again, but any advice would be appreciated.
