    Computer freezes and/or crashes. Frequent blue screens. Cant identify the cause.


    I am on Win11. Computer freezes for a few seconds and then crashes. This happens every 10 - 15 minutes when I am trying to play games on Steam. We reset computer to an old image we had from about 1 year ago close to clean install state and then reinstalled all games and other software. Rolled back and reinstalled drivers. Doesn't seem to resolve the issue.The machine passes stress tests from GPU.userbenchmarks.com with flying colors.Here is the link to the Mini Dump files generated from the latest crash this morning. Hoping someone can look at these and make a recommendation:zipped up Mini D

  3. Computer Freezes Then Blue Screen

    Hello,

    A stop error (also called a "blue screen" error) can occur if a problem causes your PC to shut down or restart unexpectedly. These errors can be caused by both hardware and software issues.

    For us to better assist you, we'd like to know the following:

    • Confirm which build is currently installed on your device. To check, follow the steps below:
    • Press Windows key + R, then type in winver.
    • Click OK.
    • Were there any recent changes made prior to this issue?
    • What is the make and model of your device?

    Meanwhile, we suggest performing the steps on this article
    on how to troubleshoot blue screen errors on Windows 10.

    We look forward to your response.

    Regards.

    Frequent Crashes/BSODs With No Identifiable Pattern or Cause

    The computer I'm using now is the first one I ever built - I completed it about two years ago. For many months now I've had frequent crashes with no identifiable cause. There doesn't seem to be a correlation between RAM-intensive activities and crashes.
    Sometimes I'll only have a couple crashes in a whole day, sometimes I have four within 15 minutes. About half the time I'll get a BSOD and my computer will restart itself. The BSOD error messages are inconsistent, I've listed the most common ones below:

    SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION

    IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

    MEMORY_MANAGEMENT

    The other half of the time my computer will just freeze and become unresponsive. Sometimes it'll restart itself, but most of the time I have to manually shut down the computer with the power button on the tower. If I have my speakers turned on when the computer
    freezes they make a horrible screeching noise.


    About a month ago a friend suggested I test my RAM, so I ran MemTest86 for a full 24 hours. It returned with no errors. I cleaned the inside of my computer with compressed air and re-seated the RAM sticks. I have confirmed they're in the correct slots. I've
    also suspected a failing power supply, but I don't know how to confirm it before I attempt a lengthy return process. I've also checked many times to confirm that all of my drivers are up to date.

    I'm fully aware that I'll need to try to multiple things to diagnose my crashing problem, but I don't know how to go about this methodically. Any help this forum can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
