Unexpected crash during startup from sleep mode on a PC
Unexpected crash during startup from sleep mode on a PC
It's been a while since I shared my thoughts online, but lately I've observed my PC frequently triggering an Unexpected Store Exception BSOD. It began on the 19th and has occurred intermittently. Yesterday I didn't see any BSOD, but it happened again when I powered on the machine from sleep mode this morning. I've run a chkdsk utility, performed SFC scans, and verified that my drives are functioning correctly—no physical damage detected. What concerns me is that during these BSODs, my computer displays a message indicating that the OC settings couldn't load. I don't recall seeing the exact wording, but it leads me to the BIOS and forces me to manually exit before reaching the boot screen. Before anyone asks, the only OC setting I've activated is XMP mode, which I've been using since purchasing the system.
My specifications are:
- Motherboard: MSI Z490 Gaming Carbon Wifi
- CPU: Intel i9 11900k
- GPU: EVGA 3080 Ti FTW3
- RAM: 64 GB G.Skill 3200MHz DDR4 (4 sticks)
- SSD: Samsung 870 QVO 1TB M.2
- Additional files: Memory.dmp and a ZIP from SysnativeBSODCollection
I've also attached the relevant files for reference:

If this doesn't clarify anything, I've included the .zip created by SysnativeBSODCollection as well.
Please let me know if you have any ideas about what might be causing this issue. Thanks.
It might be possible. My suggestion is to take out two sticks and check if the problem continues. If it persists, try the remaining two. Record this as a RAM failure if the issue stops. Ensure the sticks fit properly in the correct slots for your motherboard's dual-channel setup.
It might be due to a faulty RAM stick, incorrect installation, or compatibility issues.
I don’t have many ideas. If the problem isn’t on both sticks, test one at a time to identify the faulty one among the two that caused the issue. Good luck!
You can run windbg for deeper analysis. The Microsoft Learn page about the 0x154 error explains it as an issue during a store operation to memory, which could stem from hardware or software problems. Using windbg provides more details on the process that triggered the fault and helps locate the problem.
Have you managed to accomplish anything? I’m facing the same issue—I can’t wake up my PC from sleep or hibernate. It only starts after a BSOD and power-off, and the problem began in August. Another concern is that my system doesn’t create a dump after the error, even when BSOD is enabled during the process.
