Since upgrading my system, I've experienced frequent blue screens. It began when I installed the old hard drive and tried to run a game. The screen would freeze, allowing me to play for about 20 minutes before it crashed again. I switched to an NVMe SSD and reinstalled Windows 11, but the issue persisted. After running watchdog tests for half an hour, I encountered a "WATCHDOG" error. Initially puzzled, I later used an SFC checker that repaired two files. Still, occasional crashes followed. I ran a RAM tester and found it failed initially, but after replacing the memory modules in different configurations, it worked. Now I'm still dealing with random blue screens—no clear pattern. My specs are a Ryzen 9 7950X, X670 E-PRO, Wi-Fi RX480, 8GB RAM, 32GB storage, DDR5 memory, and 6000MHz processor.

Open Event Viewer and examine the system log for crash details. Look for memory-related errors that could indicate a problem. I experienced similar crashes with Civ 6 and some damaged components, though other tests passed. The crashes to desktop or blue screens were the main issues. I resolved it by swapping in a new kit, which worked despite being on Windows 10, 5800x, DDR4.

You're interested in the actual code itself, not an explanation.

Additionally, I believe the issue is with the RAM module; it's not inexpensive and I'm unsure if it's covered since I purchased it from Micro Center three weeks ago.

Searching the web for the code to check if it's related to memory issues. Looks like a potential RAM problem might be indicated. If it's new, you might be able to request an RMA through Microcenter's 30-day policy.

Yes, I've tested both with and without xmp.

you're surprised by the high cost of your CPU but a 480 GPU is solid, though it doesn't fit your budget. you seem okay financially. let's move on: disable any overclocking or EXPO settings for RAM, remove the RAM sticks and clean their contacts with a soft cloth. place them in the second and fourth slots. if stress tests show issues, try running them in SAFE MODE. your RAM is sufficient but still consider enabling PAGE FILE to prevent running out of memory (though it's unlikely). for a powerful CPU like this, get a good GPU instead of Nvidia. cards around 30 series are already outdated—examples like the 3080 and 3090 are dead. an 8GB VRAM isn't enough for a 500 USD GPU.

Hey, thanks for the laugh—it really helped! I usually don’t splurge on myself, so convincing me to buy this was a challenge. The 6700XT was actually the one I was eyeing next. By the way, I’m running memtest86 this evening to check things out.

I went out and swapped the RAM for two new sticks. The problem persists. I observed it occurs more frequently when manually setting the RAM in BIOS to 6000MHz.
