PC crashes with BSOD and won't start after two months of normal use.
You just experienced a BSOD during a Tarkov raid, your PC won’t boot and there are two red lights on the motherboard. No recent changes that might have caused issues. After trying to start for a while, you hear a click and then it powers off. Your system specs show a Ryzen 7 7800X with 64GB DDR4, 6TB NVMe SSD, 4070 graphics, and a PSU from Corsair. This PC was built in November and has worked fine before. Now it won’t even let you turn it on to check the problem.
Verify if a dump file was generated in C:\Windows\Minidump. If present, return to the Windows directory and transfer the entire Minidump folder elsewhere, as this location is restricted. Upload the new copy. If several dumps exist, compress them into a single archive and upload it.
It might be a questionable powersupply. Corsair doesn't manufacture their own but allows third parties to create and rebrand them. Some perform well while others are problematic. Without standard troubleshooting steps, identification becomes difficult. Have you verified if any cables are loosely connected? Do you have backup components to eliminate component issues? Since it functions now, examine minidump logs and the Event Viewer. Run a memtest. Were you to update the BIOS after installation? What were the CPU and GPU temperatures under stress? Is your SSD requiring a firmware upgrade? Are there any overclocking settings active? It's wise to investigate even minor faults, as you still have warranty coverage.
