How to identify what hardware is causing a hardware error
Hello,
I have this PC which will freeze every now and then and maybe not boot correctly and have to reboot.
This is a brand new PC, it has about a month. I just installed Windows 10 1909 18363.836. Three days ago.
This has happened for a while, that's why I did a fresh install again (not a reset).I checked the events logs and reliability history and it shows hardware errors.
How can I see what is causing this?
The details do not show something that will point out what failed.
There's no c:\windows\minidump folder or file.
I'm suspecting it has something to do with the wi-fi card because sometimes it will fail and have to use ethernet, but would like to know for sure.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: I would remove the wifi card and see if it still freezes but I haven't done it yet because of 2 reasons:
1) I want to know if that fails so I will RMA it.
2) It's my mom's PC and I did everything remotely, through video call and then TeamViewer. If I have to remove the card I'd have to go to her house which I would but I want to see first if I can identify the hardware causing these problems.
