For Reference: I bought this PC pre-built over a year ago. It has an i5-10400f, RTX 3060, 2x8GB RAM and a 512GB SATA SSD (not sure which model) but it has ran PERFECTLY up until a month or two ago.
Is this a memory issue? Or what could it be.
I’m running the latest Windows 11 Update
So one day, I was playing Valorant and my game crashed. It detected the crash and auto-restarted the game. Right as i loaded in I instacrashed again and got stuck in a crash loop until I restarted my PC, then it magically fixed. Ever since then it’s been getting more frequent, to now where almost EVERY MATCH my game will crash, and the only way to load it back up is to restart my pc.
Along with this, I’ve been getting more blue screens, I wish I had more of the error codes but one was KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR. All of the codes are related to data/memory errors, so I’m ASSUMING that it has something to do with bad memory/my SSD.
I’ve also been having little weird things going on. Today when my game crashed, I restarted my PC and logged in to my screen flickering and after a while it said “Critical error. Couldn’t load explorer.exe” and I had to restart AGAIN.
Or when my browser will just randomly crash and when I reopen it I can’t go to any site without it crashing again. (I’ve tried Firefox, Chrome, Edge & Opera. It happens to all of them at the same time.)
TL;DR - Random game crashes, memory blue screens, browser & explorer.exe crashes, but everything fixes when PC is restarted. Trying to figure out if this is related to memory issues.
