    help!! BSOD/ AV_CODE_AV_BAD_IP_nt!KiPageFault


    Hello Microsoft Support,I have been experiencing frequent BSODs on my system, occurring roughly every 40 minutes since early December 2024. My system was custom-built in 2022, with the GPU installed in February 2024. I have already reinstalled Windows 11 Pro 64-bit via USB, but the BSODs persist.System Specifications:CPU: Intel Core i7 11700KMotherboard: ASUS PRIME Z590-P BIOS 2002GPU: MSI SLIM RTX 4080 SuperRAM: 32GB DDR4 @ 1600MHzStorage: 1TB Western Digital SSD OS DriveI suspect it could potentially be related to power delivery or a hardware issue, but I am unsure. Would you be able to

    :)

    UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP (7f)
    This means a trap occurred in kernel mode, and it's a trap of a kind
    that the kernel isn't allowed to have/catch (bound trap) or that
    is always instant death (double fault). The first number in the
    BugCheck params is the number of the trap (8 = double fault, etc)
    Consult an Intel x86 family manual to learn more about what these
    traps are. Here is a *portion* of those codes:
    If kv shows a taskGate
    use .tss on the part before the colon, then kv.
    Else if kv shows a trapframe
    use .trap on that value
    Else
    .trap on the appropriate frame will show where the trap was taken
    (on x86, this will be the ebp that goes with the procedure KiTrap)
    Endif
    kb will then show the corrected stack.
