What causes my PC to crash when under heavy use?
i5 6400, rx 480, 530W PSU
My PC frequently displays a blue screen with messages like "critical process died" or "karnel data inpage error". Scans with sfc, dism, discs and ram all show good results, but gpu drivers were reinstalled using DDU. Page file settings are either ON or OFF without affecting the issue. The system doesn’t wake up from sleep when using two RAM sticks, so I’m using just one. I attempted to change the RAM slots but didn’t notice any improvement. Event viewer records errors 41 and 161, but no minidump files are generated. The HDD often spins down during gaming, then the system switches to SSD mode, which crashes after about two minutes. I’ve been dealing with this problem for over a year now. I recently replaced the RAM because it caused game errors during scans, but that didn’t resolve the issue. I’m open to any suggestions.
They don't slow down since the idle timer finishes. I was already at 0 anyway.
