Is my PC having many Blue Screen of Death crashes?
Hello, I keep getting BSODs on my PC. I swapped out my case, memory, and fan. I thought the 16 GB of Patriot Viper RAM was the problem, but now I'm using 8 GB of Corsair Vengeance. I also updated the BIOS and put a new copy of Windows 11 in there, yet it's still happening. Here are my specs: CPU is a Ryzen 5 3600 Motherboard is an MSI B450M Bazooka Plus GPU is a Radeon RX 6600 PSU is a 650W RAM is Corsair Vengeance at 2400mhz with 8GB. Here is the minidump: Minidump Thank you, I hope someone can help me.
All of these tests fail with different error messages, and they all happen while running kernel functions. That plus the fact that a Windows reinstall didn't help strongly suggests your hardware is the problem, likely pointing to RAM as the main suspect. I see you've already changed the RAM, so maybe it's the RAM slot or even the motherboard itself? It might be worth stress testing the CPU too, because that could be the issue. Download Prime95 and run all three tests (small FFTs, large FFTs, and Blend) one at a time for at least two hours each. This will make your CPU run hot, so also download a temperature monitor like CoreTemp and stop the test if the CPU gets too hot. The max operating temp for your CPU is 95C. If it BSODs (Blue Screen of Death), crashes, Prime95 reports errors, or if the CPU gets too hot, then stop the test and tell us what happened.
