Windows 10: Frequent but inconsistent BSOD on my Windows 11 laptop

Hello,I have purchased a laptop about a week ago that crashes at least once a day due to a BSOD, with HYPERVISOR_ERROR being the main error.The BSODs occur at least once a day on an inconsistent basis, sometimes only once after multiple hours of usage, sometimes several.They also occur regardless of usage, whether i am not using the laptop, or gaming on it.Potential fixes that i have tried :- Factory resetting the laptop- Updating BIOS and drivers to the ones listed on manufacturer's website- Disabling Core isolationI am now kindly asking for your help in resolving my issue, as this does not s

Frequent BSOD issue Asus K53sm NVIDIA 630m Windows 10

I would guess that your GPU is faulty, the crashes that are most frequent seem related to the GPU.

I do have a suggestion, although this suggestion is more often seen with 0x9F crashes where drivers are in an inconsistent state for the OS.
Try to change the powerplan, standard there are following plans

1. Powersaver,
2. Balanced, standard selected,
3. High performance

If you didn't change your power plan, you have balanced selected.
Select High performance and see if it makes a difference.

 

Recurring BSOD WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR frequently but inconsistent

I have been getting the WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR BSOD for years with my PC. Over the years I have swapped out every part except for the CPU and PSU. The same BSOD keeps occuring but it seems inconsistent as to when it will happen. It happens a couple times per week, even under low load like browsing the internet. With some games (BF3, GTA IV) it happens very frequently (every 20 minutes), while I have been able to stream with OBS for 12 hours without a BSOD or play other games for a long time without issues. About 6 months ago I did a clean install of Windows 10 on a new SSD and the issue remained as well

I would like to know if the CPU is the issue because all other parts have been replaced over time.

Recurring BSOD WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR frequently but inconsistent

Firstly, thank you all for the suggestions. I will comment on your post in short.

Freebooter:
The latest component change in the system has been the GPU. I switched from an HD7870 to a GTX970. This is my third graphics card in all the years I've had this system. I have also been getting this same BSOD error over all these years. The only original components in my system are my CPU and PSU and HDD (though I have my OS installed on an SSD). My GPU driver is up to date. Last week I've applied some fresh thermal paste to my CPU and I've cleaned out excessive dust out of the system. Temps are looking fine in Speccy while playing different games.

I will however try all the tests you've suggested just to rule anything out.

Thank you for your input as well. The last couple BSOD's where wile playing GTA IV. So far not many games cause the same BSOD that frequently, but GTA IV and BF3 are one of them. With games like DayZ, Assetto Corsa and World of Tanks the frequenty of BSOD's doesn't increase, but they can still happen, as it does with any game. The same BSOD can also happen when doing photo editing or playing Spotify or watching a video on YouTube. Or even when just browsing through some folders. It is very inconsistent in that regard.

One question, what dump file can I best select. It was on Small memory dump, but I've set it to Complete memory dump for now. I'll try out your test as well!

Thank you for your comprehensive explanation. I will try the different stress tests with Prime95. I've had this exact BSOD issues for years now and a couple months ago I bought a new SSD, copied the partition of the old SSD over to the new one. Still got the same BSOD's, so I decided to do a clean install on the new SSD. Hasn't made any difference because the same BSOD returns.

But basically what you're saying is: with all stress tests and diagnostics and dump files that can be analysed, it's still not certain to point out what piece of hardware causes the issue, right? As I said the only original components in my system are the PSU and CPU, even though the BSOD has stayed the same over the years so I wanna make sure it's the CPU which I can replace in that case.


I will report back to the thread after I've done a load of tests! Thanks once again for your time in helping me!
