I finally assembled my PC and set up Windows 10 a few days back. Recently it would lock up unexpectedly. The last time I saw a BSOD, it warned about an error and suggested contacting Microsoft before restarting. I've been using Windows 10 for some time without encountering such issues. My CPU is a R7 3700X and the motherboard is an ASUS x570 TUF Gaming Plus. I'm running Windows 10 Home edition 64-bit, and I haven't updated the BIOS yet. Could a BIOS update resolve the BSOD problem?

Upgrade the BIOS and apply the chipset drivers.

The sequence doesn't really matter for functionality. What's important is that the chipset drivers are installed and ready to use.

It's best to set up the chipset, RAID, SATA, and M.2 drivers first before adding anything else. Skipping the NVMe/M.2/SATA drivers during Windows setup means you won't have them available for system recovery later.

I just installed the BIOS update—original version 1405, new version 1407. I was nervous about the power going out, but it worked fine. lol
