5-10 BSODs per hour - tried almost everything to fix it

Hello guys,

since a few weeks ago im having these super weird BSODs that just keep on happening and at this point i just have no clue how to continue looking for the faulty parts of my PC.

Ive filled in my System Specs in my Profile so I think you guys should be able to retrieve them in case there are any questions regarding that. My PC just keeps on bluescreening several times per hour mostly while using the browser, it also happens without any programs opened tho. Not that frequent but it happens.

Currently im on Windows 11 Version 21H2 Build 22000.978

Things that i tried to fix these problems:

- run windows with all my drivers updated to the most recent version
- updated BIOS to most recent version
- ruled out RAM as faulty part -> ran memtest86 without issues with my old sticks -> still bought two new RAM sticks just to really rule it out
- changed PSU
- checked all drives SSD and HDD in my PC, also did buy a new SSD and fresh installed Windows on that drive with only the new SSD being installed
- ran Prime95 for several hours without problems ( weirdly enough it didnt BSOD during that ???? )
- applied new thermal paste to CPU
- completly rebuild my PC and checked mainboard for obvious hardware damage


Nothing helped. After doing all that + several new fresh Windows Installs i had windows crash on me at the first boot after reinstalling it. So i basically can rule out any driver issues, any issues with installed programms and it comes down to a faulty CPU or GPU. What are your guys thoughts on that? Anything I missed? Anything I should do? Any Ideas? :)


Im also gonna add a few of my recent dumpfiles here: Update your browser to use Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Sites, Slides, and Forms - Google Drive Help & Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.

Ive also posted in a different forum a few days ago and would really like to share the link here because i think that could make things a bit easier for anyone that is trying to help me. So would be cool if I could get a headsup if thats fine within forum rules. I did not find any rules that prohibit something like that but want to make sure before.

This really should be posted in Elevenforum in the bsod section. That can be located here.

Im sorry! Have it running now and will update new dumps as soon as there are any.

Edit: here is the V2 log zip uploaded to google drive: FORSURE-(2022-09-18_14-10-28).zip - Google Drive

All but 1 dmp file is dpc watchdog timeout. All of those but one blame opera.
The 1 dmp file that isn't, is irql not less than or equal, and it blames opera.
1 of the dpc timeouts blames system.

is your opera current? portable? x64? etc

I have the same problem on Windows 10. Ive changed OS several times within the last few days to rule that out as issue.

Im very certain that there is nothing wrong with Opera, i could install Firefox and have the same problem there. Same for Chrome. There is something happening inside my PC that makes the PC crash, this gets elevated or boosted by a browser being open. Its happening especially often if there is any videos open in the browser.

Well, you may have the same problem on 10, but right this moment, are you on 10 or 11? As you said, 11.

The dmp files point at it, but if you don't believe it, that is your choice. I wish you luck resolving it

Im gonna swap to Firefox and Windows 10 again and will let you guys know if the same problem happens there.
Im quite a few hours into trying to solve this issue so just be assured that I tried several windows 10 versions and several chromium and non chromium based browsers. Im happy to change to any browser or any windows version if anyone has any idea what could solve my problem here.

Sorry for the confusion just very frustrated about this apparently unfixable problem.

Sounds like a bad processor or bad memory. Neither of those will be fixed by juggling windows 10 or 11 or browsers etc.

Software does NOT fix hardware

I tried brand new RAM last weekend and that didnt fix my problems also have new CPU coming in tomorrow so will update afterwards. Yeah totally agree with you there but for someone like me its hard to instantly know if im dealing with a software or hardware issue. So while waiting for new parts i just tried to eliminate as many software issues as possible..

If your car has a flat tire, do you try putting gas in the car to fix it?
