BSOD for half a second

[danb8621]

r7 7700x 

32gb g skill flare x5 6000mghz 

tuf 3080ti 

b650 strix mobo 

rm850x psu 

2 970 evo ssd 1tb each

 

I keep getting a BSOD for barely 2 seconds as it fades from top screen to bottom and then instantly reboots my system.  Temps are normal according to HWinfo64 

 

I have a bad feeling its either my RAM or GPU slowly failing. 

 

Any kind advice would be greatly appreciated. 

 

thx

Do you not get an error code on the BSOD?

Errors? Event viewer?

 

Run memtest86+

Have a look at the event viewer in windows, it should at least store the error code.

 

To get there, press windows key and start typing "event viewer". It should come up more or less immediately. Select the "windows logs" tab on the left, then "System".

You might have to scroll down quite a bit, but you should be able to find the error code.

the screen goes so quick I can never see it before the reboot. it just scans blue and as soon as it hits the bottom of my monitor it reboots

any and all help is greatly appreciated I am still learning how to fix some of these things. 

 

thanks again

OK, those don't look like BSOD errors to me, at least the distributedCOM stuff is a fairly regular warning.

 

Are you sure those are the critical error messages with the red symbol next to them?

Great attitude

 

Those pics aren't quite the errors we are looking for - try to get us a few events from around the time period of the crash, but only if they have a red icon beside them

thanks to all those being kind and have patience I assume this is the one 

 

[danb8621]

the above is the one with the x next to it in the event properties

There should be one before this (time wise, so further down), probably a few seconds before. This message just states that the machine just rebooted without being shut down before.

 

In theory there should be another critical or error message somewhere before that, look carefully at the time under "logged"

does this help more I am sorry again to not be literate on this enough

Again, none of these are an actual BSOD error message, which means either you can't find it or they don't make it to the logs.

 

In any case, a few things to try:

- remove all but one RAM stick and disable expo/xmp/etc. and see if that works. check every stick individually.

- use memetest to test RAM

- remove the GPU and use the iGPU to see if that helps.

i think i may have figured something out.  my power settings were connected to the razer program instead of just (balanced) 

 

thank you again I appreciate all of your help and patience

If you still crash, do you have any dump files? Go to C:\Windows\Minidump and check if you have any minidumps. If you do, go back to the Windows folder and copy the Minidump folder itself to the Downloads folder (You can use the desktop if you don't have OneDrive syncing files). Zip the copied folder and attach it to a post. Please follow the instructions to the letter as Windows doesn't like you messing with files in this location.
