What are your thoughts on this BSOD?
Also, why is it so blurry and repeated multiple times?

It occurred last night while I was transferring a 1.4GB folder of mostly Excel files from the boot drive to an external USB stick.
The USB drive is over 50GB – there’s plenty of space.
I’ve encountered this BSOD before, but I don’t remember what I was doing.
I had to force the computer off by holding down the power button.
I’ve tried these steps:
Memory Diagnostics (the built-in Windows 11 version that prompts a reboot before running two passes), found nothing.
SFC /scannow detected some corrupted files and repaired them.
Adata SSD Toolbox (Quick & Full diagnostics / Optimize drive) didn’t yield anything.
Updated graphics card driver and ensured the latest motherboard BIOS are installed

Can you access Windows now?
Will it start in safe mode?
Does this occur frequently?
Yes, I'm back in Windows. It can also start in safe mode when needed.
This issue seems to occur occasionally—possibly the third time I've encountered this BSOD in a couple of months.
It happened while transferring a big folder with Excel files to a USB drive.
BSOD - Faulty Hardware Corrupted Page – does this indicate a specific hardware problem, such as memory or SSD, or the GPU?
How can I figure out what caused it here?
It might be a memory issue with the RAM. Consider running memtest to verify it works properly. Also, make sure your firmware is up to date and perform some tests. If you have dual memory modules, such as two 8GB sticks, check if they're installed in slots A2 and B2 on the motherboard. Please let us know. Cheers.
