Thanks for sharing. Can’t tell what the failure is unfortunately from the details, but you definitely have a hardware failure there. The bug check 1005 means a dump file can’t be created, which would point to a problem with storage.
Consider disconnecting your two mechanical drives. It seems more likely you're dealing with a boot drive, and you could attempt to install Windows on an old SSD instead of removing the current M.2 drive.
Recent issue occurred once more—it's quite unusual. I let my VR sit idle for almost four hours without any problems, then closed it to free up space and switched to VRChat on desktop. It crashed into a black screen within minutes. Should I consider swapping my boot drive with an older SSD I have, or is this related to mechanical drives? I understand you suggested checking disk files, typically stored on the C drive, which is for booting.
Memory dump files typically reside in C:\minidump. Consider using an old SSD to check if the current OS drive is faulty. Disconnect any other drives as well. If everything works fine, reinstall the HDDs and verify functionality. That should identify the problem source.
Visited the area, purchased a new M.2 drive, performed a clean Windows installation, updated only the GPU driver (excluding adrenaline software), and plan to let it sit idle in a game for as long as possible. I’m hoping it won’t crash within the next few days. If it holds up, I’ll close this thread as resolved.
It occurred once more... everything worked smoothly for nearly all day. I spent four hours in VR last night without any issues, played a bit of War Thunder recently, and it crashed abruptly. The event viewer is still on, leaving me confused about what happened. I've already spent 1400 AUD trying to resolve it, and the costs are just increasing.
