Hello there,
Last year I purchased this PC which started having BSOD errors while gaming for a while, though historically they were more infrequent (about 3-5 a week), which started within a month of having the machine. I've updated the drivers, tested the RAM using Windows Diagnostics and Memtest86. I've checked the SSD and HDD. I've also run several command prompt scans and the Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool. I installed Windows 11, however it was not a completely fresh install, checked divers, and received Unexpected Kernel Mode Trap errors almost immediately when starting a game. I hired an IT professional and together we installed a fresh version of Windows 11, deleted all partitions on Drive 1 and did not connect to Microsoft servers via one drive during the installation. So, the install is super clean. Then I updated all drivers on the machine. Next, I installed the steam client and FFXIV. I crashed within about 15 mins of starting the app. I contacted the company I purchased from and was notified that I was two days past my warranty, which I am really kicking myself for. I feel as though I have ruled out the chance of a Driver issue or file corruption or have I missed something here? I'm also trying to determine which piece of hardware is the culprit here. When I spoke to support from the company, I purchased from, they indicated a belief that the potential issue is with the CPU after only hearing of which BSODs I have had. Said BSODs have been Unexpected Kernel Mode Trap, Whea Uncorrectable Error, and IRQL Not Less Or Equal. Are there any diagnostic tools or techniques that I can use to further narrow down what the hardware issue could be?
