I'm not familiar with the blue screen issue, but the results might come from older parts running a more recent operating system. What are your plans for using it? How much space is currently on your SSD?
I'm using Windows 10 Pro 64-bit and experiencing frequent spikes in resource usage across all systems, regardless of conditions. The SSD is only about halfway full.
Your equipment is quite outdated. The processor came out just a few years back, making it feel like it's over 12 years old. The graphics card isn't terrible, but even 1080p60 will be challenging. Run BlueScreenView and check the dump files—it usually gives clear details about the issue.
It will mainly depend on the CPU performance, which was surprisingly unreliable and prone to crashes. The Windows setup also requires a clean installation. Which version was used? When did it get installed? Has anyone attempted an upgrade to a newer OS? Was the storage device transferred from another machine? It should definitely come from a brand new Windows 7 release, though I wouldn’t push beyond that on that particular chip; expect no smooth transition. If you’ve already updated the license key, you might be able to reinstall the latest operating system, but it must be a complete fresh install. I recall those APU/CPUs were the Steamroller models (Kaveri/Godavari). Even though they were released almost a decade ago, they’re still remembered negatively for several issues. Back then, we were running a 32-bit version of Excel, which only added to the frustration—slow performance and frequent crashes. It would sometimes freeze or even crash when trying to run macros or move the mouse, especially if you tried to force it. Eventually, we switched to i5-3210m laptops (dual-core from 2012) and they appreciated the improvement. Their Excel tasks ran about five times faster, and multitasking felt much smoother. It’s surprising how long it took AMD to release better versions after these chips were introduced!
Usually it points to a dying mobile or RAM issue. Check the Windows version. Consider running DISM and SFC tools, though you might still need a complete reinstall due to a hardware problem. This isn't critical, but hardware should work at least WXGA+.
Initiating a fresh Windows installation. Once complete, I’d consider upgrading the motherboard and CPU....
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, I put it on last month, but I’ve already activated it. Please forgive the brief response.
