I've posted about this before.

In short, I built a new PC. It started black screening in games and then randomly. All roads led to my GPU being faulty, but MSI insisted I try the GPU in another rig to see if it fails, before proceeding with the RMA process.
I put my old GPU (Zotac 3080ti) in my new PC and my new GPU (MSI 4090) in my old PC. There were no problems. The 4090 worked fine in the old PC and the 3080ti worked fine in the new PC.
So I put the 4090 back in the new rig, did a fresh install of Windows and reflashed the BIOS. Everything was fine for awhile until it randomly black screened while just being idle.
In desperation, I upgraded to Windows 11 and it did not fix the issue. This time around though, Reliability Monitor and Event Viewer were less consistent in their reports. I used to always see Hardware Errors but now most of the time it just says Windows Stopped Working.
A benefit to upgrading to Windows 11 is that minidumps started to work. So here's the latest minidump.
(I think this link only works once. It deletes after downloading. Let me know if there's a better method for safely sharing files.)
I'm at my wits end. I don't know how to proceed with this, especially since I cannot reliably replicate the issue and swapping components didn't reveal anything. If any one can pull any information from this minidump that can shed some light on the issue it would be greatly appreciated.
Question - PC crashes to black screen for every game ?
It just started yesterday and it has progressively gotten worse today. It's a brand new fresh build and I've been playing a bunch of games with no problems for a couple of weeks now. Yesterday I installed the Resident Evil 2 remake from Steam. I was playing it for maybe 15 to 30 minutes and...
