Sorry - I forgot to post the link to the dump file: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/90lbpr6xy1tr5dwiroxhn/060524-8218-01.zip?rlkey=qa8huar8ln9wnp874ty9s2kys&dl=0

So .... I tried running Windows 11 on safe mode to find out if it froze or BSOD but after 6 hours it didn't crash. Of course, one can't do much in safe mode (or at least I can't) so that doesn't totally rule out a hardware problem but I suppose that it points to software. The last BSOD I got...

I can try this. I have now discovered that the changes that I have made have much reduced but not eliminated the BSOD crashes - although HYPERVISOR_ERRORS have gone. I will try safe mode but I will probably need to leave it on for several hours, and perhaps try it for a few days to find out...

Good to know that AMD power plans are not needed any more. I will leave my PC on Windows Ultimate Performance until I am sure that is stable with no BSOD crashes (or at least not very many). After that I will try going back to balanced to see if that is ok.

Thanks for your help. I went into the MSI BIOS and searched under CPU and all states are set to Auto. However, disabling SVM and C-States in the BIOS and removing the AMD power plan and replacing it with the Windows Ultimate Performance seems to have made things much better.

After downloading the AMD drivers and power plan, the system continued to freeze, occasionally leading to a BSOD crash, often presenting a HYPERVISOR_ERROR. I checked the BIOS for C_states and discovered they were already disabled. Out of curiosity, I enabled them, hoping the AMD drivers and...

Thanks - I have downloaded the AMD updated drivers and installed them and I have also installed the AMD Power Plan. I will leave it for a few days to see if this makes the PC more stable. If not, I will look again at disabling C-states but, on a first look, I could not see an option to do this...

Thanks for your reply; sorry for the delay in coming back to you. I am going to try to re-set the BIOS as suggested above. As you said, I assumed that amdppm.sys was an AMD driver without actually checking it out! Unfortunately, the original dump file got deleted by mistake - I think by...

I am running Windows 11 home and I found the command Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V-Hypervisor only works on Windows 11 Pro. However, the following script works in Windows 11 home under a normal admin command prompt: @Echo off :: Disable Hyper-V...

Thanks for the suggestion. I will try that. I have previously tried disabling virtualization by switching SVM off in the BIOS (this got rid of HYPERVISOR crashes but not the others such as PAGE_FAULT). However, I havn't tried leaving SVM on in the BIOS and disabling it via PowerShell. I will...

Since updating from Windows 10 to Windows 11 sometime last year I have been experiencing regular BSOD crashes. The crash message is typically either HYPERVISOR_ERROR or PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA although other error messages do occur. These crashes rarely, if ever, happen when I am doing...
