Ryzen 5800x getting trapped in BOSD cycle
During the BSOD loop near POST when using a Windows install drive, it seems like a hardware problem might be present. My initial thought is faulty RAM, but it could also involve the CPU—like bent pins or bad contacts. Have you tried installing Linux as a test?
The explanation centers around the intermittent nature of stability issues. If it were a hardware fault, consistency would disappear entirely. A hardware problem would likely cause total loss of stability. The BIOS angle seems more plausible because fluctuations appear sporadic—OP mentioned occasional stability despite occasional success. A memory issue might trigger auto-recovery only occasionally, and a newer BIOS version could resolve it if it addresses memory overclocking limitations (though this is unlikely on AMD boards).
Not related to BIOS settings; installed the newest version but issue persists. Successfully booted into safe mode once—system remained fully stable for over an hour. Unfortunately, I was in offline mode, limiting my options. I managed to retrieve a dump file, though it appears to capture only the most recent blue screen event. (Note: most blue screens lack error codes; the latest I encountered was dxkrnl.sys nvlddmkm.sys, but these are uncommon.) The most recent dump indicated a code 0x7e, which seems quite generic.
Had a malfunctioning RAM issue. Took a borrowed stick from a friend without issues. Unbeknownst to me, my RAM suddenly stopped working after three days.
