Question Random application crashes ?

[garycolson]

Hey there,

I am having this issue with crashing with sorts of applications and do not know how to fix it.

Here is a good example of what I am going through.

• EX. I have Discord open and a game open at the same time. Discord will randomly crash and restart over and over till it just doesn't work anymore. When I close the game, everything is fine again.

I have done a fresh install of Windows 11 Pro... Version 23H2 (OS Build No. 22631.3447) and have JUST installed fresh memory in my computer in the past hour.

Here are the Event Viewer "Application" errors:

What, if anything, are you doing or trying to do with Powershell?

I don't touch anything. I have Discord open and games are randomly closing and crashing. Discord is closing as well.

Interesting:

Event Viewer lists the Application as Powershell.

Look in Task Manager > Startup and Task Scheduler for any references to Powershell.

Also look in Resource Monitor and Process Explorer (Microsoft, free).

https://learn.microsoft.com/sv-se/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer

Objective being to discover if Powershell is indeed running and/or how that came to be.

How was the fresh install of Windows 11 Pro done? Source?

Nothing related to Powershell in Task Manager. I just downgraded to Windows 10 and fully reset my PC again and right when I install Discord, it starts crashing like usual. It seems that when I stress test my CPU, it crashes 100% everytime.

Update your post to include full system hardware specs. (OS = Windows 11, Pro, 23H2 - correct?)

PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition (original to build, new, refurbished, used)?

Disk drive(s): make, model, capacity, how full?

What is the source website for Discord?

I replaced my CPU as of today and it seems like all issues have been fixed regarding applications crashing. Not too sure what happened but it seems like the i9-13900k has a lot of issues that need some work.....

Thank you for your time and effort.
