Memory and Blue Screen Issues

[Gahlejm]

Greetings LTT Community, 

 

     I have a Lenovo laptop (IdeaPad L340-15IRH) that is connected to two external monitors, but only one is using a direct input from the HDMI port. The other monitor is connected via a Wavlink video graphic adapter that uses a USB 3.0 to power another display. I have been using this for almost two months and haven't encountered any issue until now.

 

     My issue began when I was using chrome, after several hours the browser would just crash saying something in the line of "memory full" or something like that. I thought this would be a browser issue thing so I cleared my browsing history as suggested by google but to no avail the problem still occurs after a couple of hours. Then I tried using Opera GX to test if it would have similar results and it did. There was also an error indicating insufficient memory and the only tab open was Twitch at that time. (Do note that the only application that was open are the browsers and nothing else since I was troubleshooting.)

 

     Things I have done so far:

1. Ran CMD and prompt sfc/scannow but it says there were no issues.
2. Cleared my browsing history in Chrome and Opera GX
3. Updated my browsers to the latest version.
4. Checked for latest windows update. (I'm not at version 2004)
5. Scanned my device for malware using Malwarebytes and Windows Defender. No virus was found.
6. Used windows Memory Diagnostic Tool to check if I have RAM issues but nothing was found.
7. Graphics Driver are up to date.
8. Monitored my RAM consumption via task manager but all signs were normal. System uses 25% of a 16GB memory.
9. Device's BIOS is up to date and other drivers as well.
10. Tried reinstalling the display driver for the Wavlink adapter.

 

  Things I did not do yet:

1. Observe if the issue persists if I only use one monitor that is directly powered by my laptop's HDMI port.
2. Revert to my old 8GB RAM. 

 

    Additionally, just this night, I left my laptop at idle. No applications were open, just left on desktop but after several hours like 9 hours it prompted a blue screen out of nowhere and this did not occur before.

 

   At this point, I can only think of two possibilities that might cause my problem and that is the Wavlink adapter or a RAM issue since I upgraded my RAM from 8GB to 16GB @2400 mhz. But regarding my RAM I upgraded it almost 3 months and did not encounter any issue. Since whenever I encounter this browser issue my two monitors would flicker to a blackscreen and revert back like nothing happened.

 

  Or is this something to do with me undervolting (-0.120v) my laptop with the use of Intel XTU? But I hardly believe so since I did this since May and did not encounter any issues.

 

  Do you guys have any ideas what could possibly be the root of my problem?

  Hoping for your help.
