Okay when I went to... Manually find a specific driver for your XPS 8910 It shows me 15 drivers for various devices, including 3 it says are critical, so I'm going to do that.

So i went to the Del 8910 support drivers page and did an update, everything was fine, said i was up to date. But then... I did a "quick test to identify common hardware issues".... and I got the following 3 errors...

I will try this when i can. I did notice this morning that the device manager showed a questioned item. It shows a PCI Device, listed under 'Other Devices'. It sees that there is a device there, but cannot tell what kind of device it is. I tried uninstalling it but it came back after a reset...

i do not know how to use the kernel debugger. I did install and update it, though. Driver Verifier looks a bit over my head and very confusing. I am unsure how to run it. And, yes I know its a faulty hardware problem, system service, or BIOS. That's not the problem. The problem has been, from...

I'm set to high performance now. So today, I was playing an OLD game (Sid Meyer's Pirates) when it suddenly froze and pixelated, and the sound started making a loud buzz noise (video and audio stuck). I did not get a BSOD this time. I checked the event log and saw this: The computer has...

sorry, i meant to say, it does "not" crash while idle. What is the bios "C-State"? What would that do?

The thing is, in safe mode, i cannot do anything that would possibly lead to a crash, like gaming or youtube.... The computer does not crash if i just leave it desktop idle.

Got another BSOD today. ALL I was doing was watching Youtube. Here's the new dump: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aj9QKaQ02dAz0KWbAuifg4LqiJdw6Y9V/view?usp=drive_link How can I stress test in safe mode to try to induce a BSOD crash, so I can confirm what's causing this?

I've done all this and turned up nothing. I've tested the CPU, video card and RAM many times over and they all passed. Stability came when i used DDU to uninstall my video drivers and re-install an older version.mI also did a fix i found on Google when I searched for "Youtube freezes my...

So my computer's been behaving pretty well lately. I think the DDU fix combined with googling about youtube crashing me and following a fix for that as well, fixed my problems... for the most part. My last post linked a WHEA crash. Got another one today...

I knew it wouldn't last... left computer on idle to go use the loo and get coffee... came back to BSOD. WHEA uncorrectible error... here's it's dump file... https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EILBxyS0ZJgpi9vTaoBU2ROAIsuoPiX6/view?usp=drive_link Wish i could make this stop... it gave me several...

So I cleaned everything out again, and have been observing. After these last couple of days, the computer has been behaving, so i am reluctant to do any other steps. Games seem to work fine at lower settings. However, i have been actively avoiding running any videos like Youtube or whatever, so...

Okay, so... i used DDU again in safe mode to uninstall my video drivers, then restarted into safe mode again to install drivers from 2-3 versions ago (had to from safe mode cause regular restart caused windows update to install video drivers without me). So far everything is behaving... so we'll...

Got two freezes and ANOTHER BSOD since my last post. This one was called INTERRUPT EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED. Here are the two dump files just from today... https://drive.google.com/file/d/1i-XiCW4oenOB6mkwJbWPgej7R11lApp7/view?usp=drive_link...
