Detailed Specifications: Gigabyte B450M DS3H Ver. 1 (driver F67b) Ryzen 5 2600 RX 580 (driver v23.11.1 amermine) Kingston KHX3200C16D4/8GX RAM 2 sticks SSD Western Digital Green WDS240G3G0B 120GB + Western Digital Blue 3.5 1TB 7200rpm SATA3 (WD10EZEX) Gamdas Kratos E1-500W PSU. Previously owned Seasonic M12II-520 EVO Edition Bronze 520W, lost the 8-pin connector due to lack of need on old GPU. Crashed in Apex Legends and Civilization 6 (blue screen unexpected _STORE _EXCEPTION for civ 6; unsure about Apex as it blue screened then recovered). Updated BIOS to latest version, changed drivers to version 2.3.1.1. No issues until Civ crash. Recently booted League of Legends for 3-4 hours; computer froze abruptly with no warning, RAM still visible, won’t boot. Resolved by unplugging PSU, turning it off and back on. Possible causes: faulty PSU, failing 120GB SSD, or GPU thermal throttling/unstable drivers. Ran Furmark to upgrade GPU to 89; MemTest86 passed, Hard Disk Sentinel shows 50% health but full performance. No minidump for BSODs. Appreciate your time and let me know if further checks are needed!

Storage-related error occurred. No dump file typically appears during storage problems since the drive may be offline and unable to save data. The system transfers information to the page file; identify the drive hosting the page file as it is likely the source of the issue.

But what about the unexpected crash you had? Might the storage be involved as well?
