A LIL BACKSTORY - I've been wanting to get into 3D design, video editing, and other media design programs as well lately. I already have good RAM (G.Skill Trident Z Neo 32 GB (2 x 16 GB)), and I thought why not get another set and fill all 4 slots and not have to worry about not having enough memory. I understand I don't necessarily need it but I'm in a position where I can spend the money on more RAM. THE MAIN thing is when I installed the RAM, my PC booted up fine and all was well until some programs would randomly shut down all in unison, and that would happen every few minutes or so. Then my PC would just crash and I'd get the blue screen of death. Then I'd turn the PC back on and it would boot and run Windows fine then 5-10 minutes later it would just crash again and I'd be rewarded with another blue screen. The same thing kept happening till I turned my PC off, unplugged it, and took out the RAM I had just installed and now my PC has been fine ever since. The thing is though, I want that RAM in my PC. I haven't tried to install it again, so I wanted to come here for some advice/help. PC parts list here -> https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HfLKQP I thought it could be something to do with the PSU? (not sure if this is necessary information but I've got the PC internals, mouse, keyboard, and 2 monitors plugged in. - just in case it has something to do with PSU that's what's plugged in.)

So i had some problem with my (Realtek) sound drivers. At first it was that my laptop didn't have any audio sound and headphones with jack didn't work, so i thought that ill just delete it and reinstall new one (i tried to update but it said that it had already newest drivers installed). I reinstalled new ones that worked (I reinstalled the same ones btw). After few weeks i noticed that windows started downloading latest version of sound drivers so i didn't think anything bad of it i left the laptop to download the updates came back to a blue screen of death. Since then i tried troubleshooting, all those cleaning commands on cmd, tried to reset laptop but it gets to 60% then blue screen appears again, even tried to reinstalling windows 10 but it also goes in to blue screen, and blue screen always has the same error code :NOT LESS OR EQUAL. Im at a loss please someone help me.

Hello, I recently bought a new PC and gave away my old one to my little brother. I didn't think it would get that complicated. So, I started by reinstalling Windows for him to have a fresh install. Everything seemed to be working well at first, but he told me that when he was playing some resource-hungry games the screen was turning black and he would get sent to the BIOS. So, I directly thought about updating the BIOS since I had never done this before (I had the PC for 3-4 years). I thought I could do it by just putting a USB stick into the PC with the corresponding.CAP files in its root but it didn't work. So, I used Asus EZ Flash 3, first with the internet but it didn't download the latest version, and that was the moment I got the blue screen for the first time. Then, I tried installing the latest version still with Asus EZ flash 3 but this time with a USB stick. But after installing the latest version I still had the blue screen. To sum up, all I did before I got the blue screen: - reinstalled windows and changed the electrical outlet (changed room). Everything was working except that from time to time where you were sent to the bios. - installed not the most recent version of the bios via the internet with ASUS EZ Flash 3, and realized I was getting a blue screen - I tried to install the latest version from the site, still with ASUS EZ Flash 3 but this time via a USB stick I also found that I had an error when booting called “sata mode selection must be changed to raid mode to avoid unknown issues” don’t know if it’s linked to the blue screen or not. And the rest of my config is : RTX 2070 super, intel i7 9700-KF, Samsung SSD 860 EVO, Corsair CX 750, and naturally TUF Z390-PLUS GAMING (WI-FI). Thanks to anybody that can help me solve my problem :)

Hya! Last year I upgraded my setup, by building a new pc with parts, and since then I had all sorts of non-stop problems (system freezes, total system crash, bsods, application crashes) with this system. After I've tried numerous fixes and changes, gpu driver versions, windows installations, cmd commands, stress tests for cpu gpu or ram, bios settings, even a different Motherboard, i've concluded that my RX 6700 (non-XT) that I had at the time was the culprit (I have loads of details about this "saga" as well), thus I've RMA'd it to the shop I bought it from and got another GPU, a RX 6750 XT, and after that the system was much more stable and the problems seemed to have gone away. Until now. Last week I found the same RAM I had, at a good price, so I went ahead and bought another kit, since I wanted to get more RAM down the line anyway (I only had one 2x8GB kit in my PC until this point). RAM gets to me, I install it next to my current sticks, and theeen... disasters. On the first day I've installed the RAM I kept getting Windows Crashes and System freezes on a 2 hour cooldown. "Well shit, i guess i have bad RAM, time to RMA". So I started testing the RAM with memtest86 (since I already had the stick ready, from the "bad gpu" troubleshooting era before this), and sure enough, with all sticks installed, after letting it run for the whole night, I had the test FAIL with like 40 errors, what's curious though is that when looking at the adresses and GB sector of each error, I had errors on ALL slots, but mostly the last slot. Good. Ok let me just remove the good ram, that I had before, and run the test again only with this "bad" ram. For the purpose of easier clarity: Before this, the initial sticks were placed in slots 2 and 4, in Dual channel mode of course, and i've read it's better to have the last slot occupied to avoid some sort of "echo" effect or something related to the motherboards and the way they are designed. We will call the above configuration of occupied slots - "default". Tested the good sticks in default configuration - Passed, 0 Errors - to provide a baseline. Tested the good sticks on the other slots - Passed, 0 Errors - to check faulty slots. Tested the "bad" sticks in default configuration - Passed, 0 Errors. - huh? Tested the "bad" sticks on the other slots - Passed, 0 Errors - nah this isn't real And finally, I put all the sticks in the same configuration as I had them on the first day, when I got the errors and the system crashes, and let it run over night. - 10 Hours, 7 Passes, 0 Errors. Well, shit. I was so much in disbelief that I thought maybe the XMP profile somehow got disabled, so since it's not on OC speeds, the RAM is much more stable => no errors, but nope, XMP profile was enabled, exactly as I had it before. There's also something else, once when running memtest86, I had the PC just reboot itself without my input, interrupting the test completely... After that day and all those tests, I couldn't draw any conclusion so I just kept using the system as-is, with all RAM sticks installed. After 3 days of the system running just fine, with no problems, now they started to popup again: CS2 Crashes mid game, straight to desktop. Ready or Not crashes while in mission. Hell Let Loose crashes while playing a match. System freezes accompanied by forced reboot Windows blue screen. The Blue screen i've been getting is not quite "normal", it's only on half the screen, the rest being black, and it's very glitchy, the same section is visible like 3-4 times, on the same screen. As I'm writing this article, I kept trying to play Ready Or Not but It crashed 3 times in like 50 minutes, CS2 also crashed again today....so I capitulated. Is the RAM good for my system/cpu/mobo? - From what I've seen there shouldn't be a problem. Maybe it's a defective Mobo? Are AMD systems this bad when it comes to stability? - I've heard they have somewhat of a bad reputation, before the purchase, I didn't think so at all, but after all these months of pain, I don't know what to believe anymore... Is this maybe related to the "bad" GPU I've had? The symptoms are very very similar... maybe that poor RX 6700 had no fault... Could I have gotten "better" parts? - Yes, sure, these are not the "best" parts or brands known for the best quality or "premium-ness" of their products, but I'm not a guy who needs to play the latest and greatest on max settings. I'm a simple PC gamer, I don't mind doing optimizations getting my hands dirty and lowering settings.... Besides, it's more efficient to go for a mid-range build money-wise, the jump to high end is waay more expensive and you don't get much more "bang" for the buck. - So that's why I've chosen these parts/brands, and none of the chosen brands scream "problems" to me. They are not the best but also not the worst. Mid-range! PC Specs: System age - Hardware: 10 months, 18 days System age - OS: 5 months (I went through multiple Windows reinstalls recently...)

I have no idea what is wrong with my system, it could be connected to the stability issues i've had with the "bad" GPU before, maybe the GPU wasn't even bad and it's the same problem but with different symptoms... I just want it to be over In Event Viewer on the fateful day when I first installed the new RAM, there were LOADS of DistributedCOM, Bits-Client, and also a few Kernel-Power errors:

I have not overclocked my rams but it's been getting constant memory management BSOD. I tried memtest86+ and it starts showing error on test 10 sleeping, I am a newbie to all these, whatever I tried, I looked up on Google and checked. I couldn't get a fix. Any good soul can help with what the problem might be? Thank you so much.

Hello all, I have a Sapphire Pulse RX 7900XT and about a month ago it began crashing every time I load or adjust most of the tuning settings. Using the Adrenaline software, I was able to find some nice stable overclock and undervolt settings. They ran fine and have never caused a crash after 100+ hours of gaming with them. But out of nowhere one day, the Adrenaline software reset everything back to default. So, I loaded the settings again and my computer froze, and a few minutes later I got the blue screen with a stop code of DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION. Doing some reading online, it seems this may be related to my VRAM. I have tried taking a few steps already to fix the issue including updating my BIOS, using DDU to uninstall all the drivers and reinstall them, preformed several sfc scans (the first one found file corruption but fixed it, no issues after that), ran Microsoft defender and Malwarebytes scans (nothing found), and have tried gaming for a while with all the settings on factory default with no issues. It seems this issue only comes occurs when I either use the overclock VRAM auto tuning, the rage tuning preset, or manually adjust my tuning. At the moment I'm at a loss for what the problem is and how to fix it. Has anyone experienced this same issue? Does anyone know what the problem might be? Will post my custom tuning settings and general system configuration below. Thanks in advance.

I have a 2020 Nitro 5 that black screens in a few hours of use or gets the driver_power_state_failure. I checked the two dmp files that I have and found ntoskrnl.exe failing using BlueScreenViewer after that I ran SFC scan on command prompt after that it said it found the problem and said it was repaired. The next day it still did the same thing same errors. I couldn't find out what I needed to look for in the dmp files to find which error to fix so I'm now here asking for the community's's help since Im not good with BSODs and such . https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ZMJqPWSkKw29evHrWbtDZEokhJY0ruMs?usp=drive_link Event Viewer.txt

Hello. I have the Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 2X16 6000 CL36 (CMH32GX5M2D6000C36 ver.4.43.02) memory kit on a MSI Pro B650M-A WIFI with Ryzen 5 7600X CPU. The ram kit is not on the motherboard's QVL list, and doesn't support EXPO profiles. I use XMP profile (36-36-36-76, 1.35V) and it runs fine for 20 days or so (daily use and stressed use) but after that I get blue screens after entering my login password on every single boot without exception. stop codes are MEMORY_MANAGEMENT and SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION. I can solve the issue by disabling XMP, boot windows once and enable XMP again. But it would happen again randomly in what seems to be about 3 weeks intervals. I don't mind it since it's not really a frequent issue and only needs two restarts to solve; But I would like to know what exactly is the problem and solve it permanently. Does anyone have any idea to what is the problem here? I've tried Windows memory diagnostics and memtest86 (no problems) In time periods between instances of this problem occuring I've not changed anything. no hardware or software changes. By the way, I'm using an all core voltage curve (-30) on CPU. But it doesn't seem to be a case of unstable undervolt since the issue is so infrequent and at the same time very persistent while it occurs while getting fixed by doing basically nothing! P.S.: The BIOS and all other drivers are up to date Any suggestion would be very appreciated

After the recent windows update my pc kept crashing and now after I came from work it doesn't even let me go to desktop! After start up it loads for a long time and then blue screen and the percentage stays at 0! After a restart it says automatic repair is being prepared and then it stays like that! I have no idea what wrong with my pc! The 2 error codes come before I can login!

Hello! I just switched my power supply, thinking it was a PSU issue, and the blue screens continue. I've reseeded my GPU and RAM and ran diagnostics on the RAM and it works fine. The only event in Event Viewer is Kernal Power 41 (63). My next best guess is a motherboard issue. If anyone has any suggestions please comment!

Believe it or not, I've been having this problem for the past 5 months, and today I kind of snapped. I've been frequently getting a lot of blue screens, and all have different stopcodes. The stopcodes are listed below, but I have tried consulting different PC repair stores, yet they said they can't find the source of the blue screen. I was suggested to change my SSD and Ramsticks, still no luck. I was even told my monitor is the cause, yet that could be a wild guess. From what I can remember, I just casually scroll through any website, and it would just bsod. This even happens when I'm trying to update my Genshin Impact launcher, yet it would freeze my screen until it gets a bsod which is the "Unexpected_Kernel_Mode_Trap" The source of the bsods is still a mystery, but here in my town, we've been getting a lot of frequent power surges, and my Computer didn't get to shut down properly. I was still using it for school and gaming at the time too. Everything else just occurs when I'm browsing on Firefox or Edge. I'm literally at a loss here, and I'm so tempted to buy myself a new pc yet I don't want to spend the extra 1k for just a brand new one. Please help me, I'm on my knees at this point.

Thank you if you can take the moment to help me.

I was hosting a minecraft server and playing on it at the same time when everything started to get a bit funky, my audio started getting very crunchy and my mouse wasn’t working right, it felt like it was on ice, so I restarted and when I did that I logged in and then it instantly blue screened with CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT it got stuck at 30% on the blue screen so I shut off my pc and now my motherboard has a red light next to cpu and im not getting any display out even though all the fans are spinning. Also my boot ssd was almost full (5gb left) and it started to back up the minecraft server a bit before this all started not sure if that’s relevant but thought it might be. specs: cpu: i5 12600kf gpu: gtx 1650 ram: 16gb ddr4 3000 2x8 Storage: boot- Samsung 980 500gb nvme ssd.

Hello friends my name is Baily Ryan and I’ve been having some serious issues with my computer for about 3 months now. I cannot run warzone, and before you stop reading I think youll find this very interesting. My computer runs fine and I can play any game besides warzone. I can play mw2 for hours, and rocket league and just about any other game. But if I load into warzone ill make it through the preround lobby but as im jumping out of the helicopter (or plane) my computer reboots. As of today (3/16/23) I now get a blue screen saying “critical process died” it lasts less than a second black screens and then reboots I had to take a video and try to freeze frame it so I could read the error code. Ive tried what feels like 1000 different things such as -a new hard drive -fresh install of windows (twice) -updating my bios to latest version as of (03-16-23) -updating any and every driver I could think of Commands ive run Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth Plus more just cant remember them ive spent hours on this to no avail Windows finds no issue with any of these. So naturally I tried my best at stress testing my cpu using cinebench r23 ran fine no crashing. I next went to the gpu ran furmark gpu stress test at 1080p for hours no issue. I repasted my cpu and reseated it. I have removed each ram stick individually and reseated them as well as trying to run with only one ram stick the problem still persisted. . I would like to add this started in early December of 2022 prior to this I have not had any hardware changes since may of 2022 when I upgraded my gpu from a gtx 970. It started randomly one day and then I put a new drive in thinking it was corrupted files it worked for a day or two and then it would randomly crash its been getting more and more frequent to where it does it every single time now. About a month ago I was able to play duos but quads would completely reboot my pc. Now any game mode does this.

Hey everyone! I bought this PC back in 2013 and decided to give it a RAM boost before I can't buy the stuff anymore... I know... it's old... but it still serves a great purpose for gaming and will ultimately be my personal Minecraft server for family members. Specs: Intel Core i7 4930K Ivy Bridge-E @ stock 3.4 GHz Asus X79-DELUXE PCI-Express 3.0 RAM (new) - DDR3 4x G.Skill F3-1600C9D-16GXM (with 4 more on the way) - 32GB total in QUAD Channel (yes, really QUAD, not Dual x2) Radeon RX 580 8GB Corsair Air 540 case with plenty of air cooling Cooler Master Hyper 212 (or something similar) - plenty of cooling for stock! All drivers and BIOS are up-to-date. So I bought this thing with the intention to overclock but never have... hence the extra cooling case. This thing had F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL G.Skill RAM (4x 4GB 16GB total in QUAD Channel) and ran flawlessly for years. I recently started hosting Minecraft for my children and nieces/nephews (and me too!) just to have family time. It's been great... These minecraft servers eat RAM so I decided to upgrade the ram from 16 to 48GB. I was using the F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL G.Skill RAM (4x 4GB 16GB total in QUAD Channel) in addition to 2 sets of F3-1600C9D-16GXM for a total of 48GB of RAM. Yes, I know mixing the rams was a gamble, but they had identical timings and speeds (DDR3-1600 @ 9-9-9-24 @ 1.50V). I figured it would work great. Loaded the 4 new RAM (total of 8 slots all filled). Yes, I followed the motherboards guidance for the RAM slots to use for quad channel. Booted the BIOS - turned on XMP, and booted windows fine. Ran Prime95 Blend with no issues. Started to play games - Dirt Rally 2.0 - crashed... The Forest - crashed. So I took all the RAM out, and then installed JUST the new F3-1600C9D-16GXM in the proper Quad Channel slots in XMP (now only 4x the new ram installed in quad)... Again crashes during games... When I turned off XMP, the RAM runs at 1333 MHz and it ran with no issues and the games run fine with no issues. What is going on here? I looked up videos on how to tweak RAM, but honestly this Asus X79 has so many overclocking settings it is rather deep. I always wanted to manually dial things and tweak things but never dove into it. I know it's an art and it takes patience, but honestly this thing runs like a beast and I never needed to do anything other than upgrade the video card to support larger VRAM requirements. I am very advanced with computers, although I just never dove into the deep BIOS settings to tweak everything. With the advent of Turbo modes and multipliers for the CPU/RAM etc, I just figured I'd leave that for a rainy day... Perhaps it's that day. Can anyone explain why this is happening and what I gotta do to get these RAM chips to at least run at their rated XMP profile speeds? I tried manually increasing the DRAM voltage to 1.55 just to see if that would help, but I still got crashes. I attached some screenshots of CPU-Z and MaxxMem. I ran benchmarks at 1333 and 1600 MHz.

For the past few weeks, I've been experiencing BSODs, system freezes and application crashes frequently, most commonly while playing games and watching videos on Youtube/Floatplane. I've attempted a variety of the common troubleshooting methods including using DDU to wipe video drivers and running Memtest86 for 4 passes which resulted in a pass. Running Heaven and Cinebench R23 to test the GPU and CPU respectively have shown nothing out of the ordinary to me. I tried to analyze the .dmp files from the bug checks myself, but every step I've taken has led me nowhere. At this point I'm lost on what I could do other than trying a clean Windows install, which I would like to avoid if possible. Some additional information: One of the BSODs I experienced happened while I was in safe mode so I could run DDU. After having been in Windows for few minutes, my whole system locked up for about a minute before the blue screen appeared with a stop code of DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION While playing a game, I've noticed that Windows Error Reporting in Event Viewer will report an event name of RADAR_PRE_LEAK_64 roughly a few minutes or so before I experience a crash/BSOD Before one BSOD I had while playing MWII, AUDIODG.EXE crashed with the faulting module name being THXV2RenderAPO_0528.dll, which resulted in me losing all audio Some application crashes have occurred with two different apps at once. For example, at the same time that MWII crashed, a tab that I had open on Firefox crashed Link to my current build's specs: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/EastCoastShepard/saved/xKtJwP Link to a .ZIP file containing minidump files, a dxdiag log and various screenshots from Event Viewer which could be useful: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JSkX95GxXfAHr51qu0TjXdA94sgXXACL/view?usp=sharing

For the last couple weeks my pc has been acting up. I thought maybe it was the cpu since it has been running a little warm (70-80c on average while gaming) so I am waiting on arctic to send me my replacement part for my AIO..some have said that wont help temps too much.. I have done all sorts of tests, updated bios, gpu drivers, ram tests, storage clean up...nothing is working I will be sitting on twitch and it will just freeze out of no where, and it is very inconsistent I cant seem to predict when it will happen..I will include a picture of what my desktop looked like today when it reset, thinking maybe it was a GPU issue, but I just bought the gpu in may of 2022. I have no overclocks, the voltage seems appropriate for the speed the cpu is at aswell.. I am almost considering resetting my pc since I feel I have no other option at this point My pc build is in my profile TIA

Hello to everyone, so to explain my issue the best way i can: Since recently my pc has been freezing every 16 min or so, with a blue screen or just an overall freeze. This happens wheter i am doing some heavy gaming or not. From my research i found out that maybe the memory controller of my cpu doesn't fully support my ram, and that may be the cause. Although i have been having this setup for 2 years and added the extra 2 sticks of ram only 1 year ago. I also get plenty of visual artifacts like the one in the picture posted below. The system crashes wheter i have XMP enabled or not, even if i use the minimum frequency allowed. I will post my configuration: windows 10 64 bit CPU: Ryzen 7 3700x Gpu: Nvidia RTX 2070 Super Ram: G.Skill Trident Z F4-3600C16D-16GTZNC 3600 MHz, (it's 4 sticks of Ram, 8 GB per stick) Mobo: MSI Unify X570 PSU : Corsair HX750i

Hi, I'm currently lost troubleshooting my i913900k and dual 4090 with 128 GB ram. so with an i713900kf it works perfectly. everything works with no problems. but as soon as I put the i9 in it starts to not properly use gpu2. as soon as I request some information from it, or plug a display into it, it starts to flicker black and crash or switch to the igpu (using gpu1 as a passthrough). so if that happens I lose both the GPUs. I tried everything I can think of and my colleagues can think of. bios version-latest driver-latest only boot with 32 Gb ram. only boot with gpu2 (doesn't work) only boot with gpu1 (works) and it seems like the CPU might be dead, but uhm that would suck. please let me know if you need any additional info to help me troubleshoot some! thank you in advance! parts: mb: evga z690 ram: ddr5 4800mhz 32gb sticks (total 128gb) cpu: i913900k (i have an i713900kf for troubleshooting) gpu: 4090 nvidia reference storage: m.2 ssd (in bus 3)

I'm trying to do a fresh Windows 10 install on a brand new system, but no matter what I try, when I boot through USB I get a blue screen. I can confirm that the USBs I've tried have worked on other systems. What I've tried: - Using Rufus to create the bootable drive. Tried both GPT and MBR. - Windows 11 ISO instead of Windows 10 - Use the Windows media creation tool to create the bootable drive - Turned off secure boot, turned off fast boot, turned on CSM when using MBR - Updating BIOS - Create a WinPE USB drive which worked, but my ethernet connection didn't work to do a network install. Running setup.exe from another USB drive in WinPE didn't do anything. Specs: Asus Prime Z690-A (BIOS version 2103 09/30/2022) 5600mhz DDR5 RAM i9 12900k RTX 2080 750 watt PSU I would really appreciate some help, I can't think of anything else that it could other than a faulty mobo.

Hi, I can't figure out why my PC turns off randomly. It gives the error code 'WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR'. PC boots up fine, but after what seems a random time each time turns off and gives me a blue screen. Also the PC doesn't boot when it's off the first try, I need to hit the power button, then the reset button and then it boots. Also when it's in between the power button and reset button press a red VGA light lights up on my MB. I looked up that code and learnt that it is a hardware error. Giving the VGA light was on I checked the GPU first. Reseated GPU, tried different PCIE slots, PC boots fine (with weird start up sequence) but turns off randomly. checked my power supply, GPU, RAM and motherboard power connectors, everything seems fine. I found out Steam was causing 'an' issue when it booted up (wich resulted in the blue screen), so I reinstalled it and now Steam works fine. The errors are less frequent. Only the blue screen problem perseveres and turns off my PC at random times. Really annoying to lose files and progress on work when your computer shuts off randomly. (I had to write this twice because it turned off) I have no clue what could be causing this, all help is appreciated. Greets, Pj

Hey just wanna start this off by saying thank you to whoever is reading this. I recently built a new computer and have been randomly, about once a day, been getting a blue screen error with a stop code called DRIVER_VERIFIER_DMA_VIOLATION. Alongside this, my audio driver for my Corsair Void Pro RGB randomly dies and the only way to fix it is to restart my computer and sometimes, when my audio driver dies my computer blue screens at the same time. When I do switch my audio output device to my monitor from my headset, audio still does play so I'm sure it has something to do with the headset driver itself. I have tried multiple troubleshooting tips such as reinstalling my audio drivers, updating all my USB drivers, and even swapped to windows 11 thinking it might be a possible fix. Any insight would be appreciated.

I recently did a computer upgrade where I got a new motherboard, case, psu, and gpu. The problem I'm having is that after the upgrade my computer randomly crashes when I'm running games and leaves a 'nuked' image on my second monitor. After freezing like that for a few seconds it just restarts. There's no Error message I can find. Applications are also randomly quitting and restarting. I've also been getting random directx 11 errors, although that may be unrelated. Is there any way to fix this?

EDIT: I fixed it thanks to the marked solution. Additionally I set my RAM XMP profile to 1 and that solved a few issues as well. EDIT 2: Well it didn't fix it, it just made it happen less frequently. I'm gonna run DDU again and hope for the best lol.

I've been encountering an issue lately where my computer keeps crashing/freezing inconsistently, but frequently. The crash happens in several different ways. Sometimes the whole thing just freezes and stops responding, resulting in me needing to force shutdown the system. Sometimes it will just completely restart on its own with no warning. Other times it will crash to the blue screen with the sad face saying that windows encountered an error and will restart. Sometimes it doesn't crash for hours, sometimes it will crash 7 times back to back. In every case, I have the "disk repair" loop where the system will automatically attempt to repair my drive, restart, then repeat. I have let this repair go overnight and it still continues. Sometimes the comp will crash during this repair. There are also times when it won't even post properly. When I turn my computer on for the first time, or on restart, the fans will spin up to 100% for a second, then wind back down and the computer will boot. Sometimes though, the fans won't and will constantly run at 100% and the comp will not post, resulting in me having to force shut down again. I have tried the chkdsk route, I have tried almost everything I can look up. I updated the firmware on my SSD (WD Blue SN550 NVMe SSD) using the dashboard which says I still have "96%" life remaining. Short of wiping the drive and reinstalling windows (which I'm not even sure would help) or buying a new SSD entirely, I'm not sure what to try next. OS: Windows 10 x64 2 year old system BIOS: American Megatrandes Inc. A.70 1/9/2020 (I haven't updated my BIOS yet given that I was told that it could brick my mobo but if it will help I can give it a try) CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super MOBO: MPG X570 Gaming Plus (MS-7C37) Storage: WD Blue SN550 NVMe SSD PSU: EVGA 750W Bronze I don't know if the minidump helps here but I attached it anyway. If there is any other information that I can find that might help please let me know. Minidump.rar

Hi I'll try to keep it short aand with as much information as possible. If you need mire info let me know. Windows 10 prox64 Pc crashes in windows logo screen. I have tried to reset/roll back but I cant beause I forgot my password because I have been using a pin instead. I've been trying to fix it with bootable usb but anything I try to do is stoped by my NVMe m.2 970 EVO plus 1tb been "read only". I've tried to remove it through a USB boot windows installer and opening cmd but cand do it I've tried using Attribute Changer 10.0 but doesn't work either. I've read that its because of the "hiberfile" created after a shutdown. The thing is that to remove it I need to fully shut down the PC wich I can't because I dont have acces to it. Is there any way I can remove the "read only" from my Nvme without having to format and reinstall windows?
