Any BSOD experts? Have 7 attached here just from this month
Wver 22H2
Back in Jan~February I was having one, or two, inconsistent types of BSODs: WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR and KERNEL_DATA_STORAGE_ERROR.
It would happen at random during longer periods of gaming or when multiple light programs were open simultaneously, this could be Chrome, plus some editing software and a lighter game, or two light games at the same time (which I do during slow D&D sessions). No tech support could figure it out so I brought it to a friend's house, and even when during the MOST stress I had ever put my PC through: FurMark+AIDA64+3 medium to heavy games open simultaneously, it just didn't happen... As I brought my PC to my house, repeated the hyper-stress-test, and the issue seemed 100% fixed.
Flashforward a month, the issue comes back, I go to reddit's r/techsupport and two guys helped me out narrow it down: Since the top line error for the blue screens ended all in 10 it was "the NVMe SSD or the M.2 slot/motherboard. Probably something moved when you moved the PC over to another house and back". I switched both and the issue was, indeed, solved! Until this month.
I have recently been getting new BSODs though. Here are the bluescreens. As you can see, no longer xxxxx10 in the error line! So thats one thing off the list.
I thought there were all because of some recent launch/memory leak issues with Baldur's Gate 3, since that's the only thing I've been playing (that's where the first 4 BSOD are from). Andd then I got it on this Sunday twice:
- Once from just opening my editing software while in a discord call with friends during a virtual tabletop session (very simple simulation of a 3D table with some assets). That's the 5th BSOD in the linked album
- Then the night of the same day, from adjusting my browser tabs and open documents while generating AI images for our D&D characters in the background, which is GPU intensive. That's the 6th image.
Since then I've tested, again, with Furmark, which doesn't make it crash after 2 minutes of stress testing on a much more resource intensive stressor than Baldur's Gate, at least GPU wise.
When I was getting the first 4 BSOD's I performed the windows check up of RAM, but the results mistified me:
- I tested with both sticks in, found one problem.
- I tested with one stick in at a time, found a problem with one of them.
- Redid the test on the same one on another slot, found no problem but removed it nonetheless!
- Played with just one stick in, got a BSOD.
- Connected the old (supposedly bad) RAM stick in. Redid the test, said there were no problems with it! So which is it?
Today I forcefully opened a bunch of games at the same time and got the 7th BSOD in the album.
Do these BSOD's mean anything to the experts out there? I'm about to call this a curse on my computer.
