Unusual crash with no apparent cause.
Unusual crash with no apparent cause.
I mainly rely on Ethernet, occasionally connect to Wi-Fi, but my home network is limited by solid concrete walls. So far I haven’t installed any third-party apps or utilities—even the MSI Center software isn’t available on my PC unless it’s added through updates. I don’t know where to look for hidden changes, especially without clear guidance. I have some Elgato Keylights connected wirelessly on my computer, but I’m not sure if that affects these issues. (just thinking)
Here it comes quite unpredictable. I doubt a set of four 16GB modules purchased in July will reproduce the same problems as before. If I could manually start the BSOD then fixing things would be much simpler. Between last July and this month crashes were rare, usually just once a week. But about two weeks ago they became constant daily, sometimes five consecutive days on one day—while ten others with identical hardware and different software didn’t face the same issue. Still do you believe it points to bad RAM? Maybe I should buy another set of modules online and wait a month before checking again... And by the way, what I mean by random is testing my email in-browser or via Outlook: crashes instantly in seconds while watching videos or streams; crashing during a game or a YouTube video; crashing when playing Minecraft; crashing during a Discord call; crashing when launching a random game. Starting my PC from scratch and resetting everything doesn’t help either—I keep getting the same BSOD message. People I asked for advice, searched online, but none suggested it’s just Corsair brand RAM. I just want to avoid wasting money and try different solutions until I find what works without spending more than 200 euros.**
Right now my CMOS is reset and the BIOS is set to its basic settings (MSI center install turned off). I added a fresh system collection archive to the original file. (Maybe I accidentally kept the old one and shared some private info online...) Remember, everything related to overclocking or high voltage could be confusing for me—it really messes with my understanding.
