Perhaps as a final option I’ll bring the laptop to a nearby repair shop to check if it can be fixed. Going to an official service center doesn’t seem practical since they’ll likely replace the motherboard instead.
I’d consider checking the memory performance. It might be that the stick is damaged, occasionally flipping bits. Deluge often reads memory while downloading torrents or streaming, which moves data in and out quickly. Run Memtest86 on a USB drive and verify your RAM sticks. Ideally, perform a full pass without interruption—should take under an hour. Typically, you’d want to use the same setup as before. However, since you changed both the SSD and RAM type, the motherboard could be affected. If you have a different brand stick (like a P1 vs another model), that might cause problems. NVMe SSDs sometimes use HMB, reserving RAM space for their operations—your P1 shouldn’t trigger this, so it’s unlikely the drive is the issue, though it’s not impossible.
I completed the memtest86 with a perfect score of 100% and no errors. It took three hours and eighteen minutes. Should I check anything else? Regarding your memory sticks, the ones you’re using are 16217M (18684 MB/s) and 8GB DDR4. Are you certain this is the issue? Also, the specs show one stick at 8192MB with rank 1 while the other is 4096MB with rank 2 from SK Hynix. Could that be the cause?
I also performed the AIDA64 stability test for 30 minutes under maximum load on CPU, GPU, and RAM. Temperatures were logged using HWmonitor. It’s worth mentioning that when I started both AIDA64 and HWmonitor, the system froze again and a BSOD occurred with the error CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED. Would you consider reapplying thermal paste or inspecting the heat sink, given these recorded temperatures after the stress test?
