I had the PC randomly restart in the midst of playing a game and when I tried to look at the event viewer I really can't understaned what happened. I have Windows 11 22H2

Event viewer just shows...

I will update it but what does that have to do with this particular situation? From what I gathered in the log, it was caused by steam client? can you confirm please?

Hey guys,
Could someone help me analyze the potential source of this? It happened to me first time today when I booted up from sleep mode.

When I debugged through WinDBG it said:
"Cannot read...

No screen saver active, power settings say everything is off when it comes to going to sleep, etc and monitor has no power settings in its menu

I encountered an issue that (so far) only seems to be happening with BlueStacks (an emulation program for android). It happened twice in the last two days. Once, I left the game on, went back after...

Ok I will post when its at or getting close to 100 percent.

Thanks for the information.



I have 8 enabled. The rest are disabled. Chrome is always hogging memory though, even when I had no...

I thought that was the resource monitor? You'll have to guide me to what you mean.

What I mean is that that memory tab you see under resources keeps climbing up and up until it reaches 100 percent and necessitates a fresh reboot. Its easy to replicate if I use for instance...

I've been dealing with it for months now. RAM fills up very fast upon doing certain things (such as using chrome to download stuff, using windows store, origin, steam, etc). Eventually, it goes up to...

I normally get BSOD crashes, but this time it was the same sluggishness I was complaining about since the very beginning, but instead of generating a BSOD, it just went all black and restarted. I...

So I did a full reinstall of Win10 (not an upgrade from 8.1 like last time) on an SSD drive and it was working fine. Suddenly, as I was downloading a game, it started working REALLY slowly, the...

So I ran memtest for 32 hours and did 12 passes. No errors.

I haven't run memtest yet but I had another BSOD and it seems to be a different error this time.

Does it give you more information than the last two?

p.s.
I will hopefully run memtest tonight.

How do I use it? Do I extract it onto the USB stick and boot from that?

So it happened again today. What else can I do? I know it's probably all the same, but I'll post it again after the crash.

So should I update the topic when I get another crash? I am sure I can replicate it soon enough but it seems that the dump would be pretty much the same so I don't know what else could shed light on...

Not sure. I checked on the Dell website and the date is 2015 April. I could update it perhaps, but the changes don't seem to be worth it:
Samsung SSD PM851 Firmware Update Driver Details | Dell...

I did as you asked.

I compressed all of the results in a rar file. The checks were all ran on the Toshiba hd you pointed out and I didn't do the "write" portion of the benchmark since it didn't...

Can someone please analyze this minidump? What happened basically is that the PC very often doesn't go into sleep mode (just turns off the screen and doesn't let me do anything) so I am forced to do...

No security software until after the problems started. I play MMOs a lot that install their online protection systems prior to launching. Not sure if these things do anything, but I honestly can't...

I don't know what is left to try.

- raised pagefile to recommended values
- scanned for malware/viruses
- cpu/gpu usage normal
- did windows built-in performance and memory diagnostics - no...

Checked cpu/gpu/hd/memory usage - normal. Changed swap size to recommended - no changes. Ran SFC and fixed everything - still as sluggish.
It seems games are running just fine and all, but the...
