Hey! You're experiencing frequent BSODs while gaming. It clears quickly but leaves no clear error message. The logs suggest issues with system files and possibly hardware. Could be related to RAM, storage errors, or driver problems. Let's check if anything unusual is happening with your components.

Did you restore cleanly using a bootable medium or through the built-in method? Were any overclocks, including XMP, implemented?

Extract clean data directly from the USB file. No overclocking, not including any default firmware.

I7 7700 H170 pro gaming with 16G Kingston @2400 MSI 1070 Sea Hawk Sabrent Rocket 512G 500W Zalman PSU. Was the power supply sufficient even though both CPU and GPU ran at full capacity?

If memtest extended works fine, it seems there are no overclocks, OS updates, or games installed—this likely points to a motherboard or CPU problem. The best approach would be to reset the BIOS, leave the battery out overnight while unplugged, and try again. A fresh BIOS battery might also help, as sometimes that resolves strange issues. For a short time I could only boot with RAM running at non-XMP speed (2333), but after replacing the BIOS battery it worked.

New CMOS battery installed, BIOS updates disabled, just checking if it's the PSU or CPU. Also noticed my 3.3V rail is only around 2.35V now.

I noticed your post, I’ve faced a comparable issue a few months ago. I didn’t verify it again before sharing mine. It’s interesting I’m using AMD instead of Intel... How did you test your 3.3V rail? A multimeter?

It was the PSU that failed. The 3.3V rail was damaged, and the SSD received insufficient or unstable power for quick actions like switching tabs or launching a browser, causing the system to crash. I purchased a used Corsair 600W (B tier according to the PSU tier list), and it hasn't crashed yet. Considering my previous PSU was nearly six years old and budget-friendly at the time, it seems like a reasonable upgrade.

I also purchased a new power supply unit (Corsair RM850x). No crash occurred yesterday, though that doesn’t give much insight. I plan to monitor the situation further over the coming days. Thanks for fixing your issues!
