My system experiences random crashes, and the error logs consistently appear in the event viewer. I’m unsure how to prevent these outages. To try a fresh install of Windows, it resolved temporarily, but the issue returned shortly after. The first error indicates a missing component from an application, possibly due to installation corruption. If the problem originated elsewhere, the details were saved with the event. The log shows ACPI information, a binary file, and timestamps around April 20, 2023.
Tell me about your complete hardware setup—processor, graphics card, motherboard, memory, power supply, and any add-ons. Are you adjusting performance settings or reducing them in your system? What triggers the crashes? (For example, playing a certain game, using a specific program, keeping the computer idle, etc.)
My configuration details are as follows: processor I5 12400f, graphics Zotac RTX 3060ti, motherboard Gigabyte H610m rev1.3, RAM Corsair vengeance Lpx 3200mhz with two 8gb modules, storage includes a 512gb NVMe SSD and a 1tb WD blue 3.5" hdd spinning at 7200rpm plus a 256gb SATA SSD, power supply Inplay GS650PRO. I don’t have any extra cards and haven’t done overclocking or undervolting. The crashes typically occur when the system is idle but can also happen during regular use. When forced to keep it idle, running cookie clicker with an auto clicker seems to help avoid crashes.
The ACPI settings relate to power-saving features, likely tied to your BIOS such as the RAM C6 configuration or fastboot activation. Adjusting these can affect Windows sleep and hibernate options. If hibernate is enabled, it creates a hiberfile that requires around 20GB on your SSD to store the operating system for quick restoration. Turning off fastboot or disabling hibernate changes how these settings behave.
It doesn't appear to be the problem since I frequently power off my PC, the high-performance power plan is active, and my system doesn't allow the modern standby Linux version mentioned in the video.
