I never mentioned the HDD.

My apologies if I misunderstood, but you told me previously that I had to run a memory test due to "the 0xEF that is often caused by RAM and HDD."

I did, but I don't think the HDD is involved in this issue. A first guess, if the HDD would be involved, would be the files of the USB drivers being located on bad sectors, but since you've used a different USB and I assume the drivers / files of the previous USB adapter hasn't been removed the files of the other USB adapter are located on a completely different location. Since the hard drive needs to be in a relative bad shape for all the files to be in a bad sector and Windows hasn't recorded any bad sectors or other hard drive related problems, I don't think the HDD is involved.
If my assumption is wrong, then I would suggest to run chkdsk /r in an admin command prompt or admin powershell, you then need to reboot the system since the Windows partition must be unmounted to be scanned.

You are right. After running chkdsk, the PC still has the same problem.

It just got stuck at around 11% for a while and rapidly completed after the pause. It didn't fix anything as far as I can tell.

Could it be that the cabling or something else came loose? Would re-patching every component help, since I'm bringing it to service? Or do I just replace the motherboard entirely?

It definitely did, but you need to look at the eventlog to see.
Could be, but can't say if it will help to redo it.

Apparently it had something to do with my copy of Windows, according to the repair guy. He installed a fresh copy of Windows 10 and it seems to be working fine now, no blue screens, able to connect to the internet and install programs.
It is strange since I did do an in-place upgrade to attempt to repair the PC previously. However, I do recall the PC crashing when installing updates in the set-up phase. But it booted normally into Windows after restarting, so I dismissed that as having anything to do with the BSODs.
I will update and mark this thread as solved if no problems persist in a couple days from now. Thanks for the help so far :)

Alright, looks like the PC is fixed and good now, no problems for the past few days. I just want to take the time to thank you, axe0, and everyone else in this forum for the responsive replies. Your help is deeply appreciated.
