OKAY SO I literally made this account because my partner's been wrestling with a bsod loop all morning. For context, this PC is a beefy little thing,
The sort of PC this thing is is as follows:
An HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop 790 -0XXX which includes
32GB of RAM
an Intel Core i7-9700 CPU @ 3.00GHz
and is running windows 10
Ever since we've had the thing (we bought it around December), we've had zero issues with it until now. The thing has been running like a champ given she streams and likes to play pretty hefty games like Dark Souls 3, Conan Exiles, occasionally Terraria, etc.
And this is where the issues began.
She installed a mod for DS3 called Cinders, and a few hours into playing the mod (which is a pretty fun overhaul I may add) the whole of her PC BSODs out of nowhere. In the six months we've had it, this is the first time it's ever thrown this huge of a fit. As I am typing this, it regularly crashes every five to ten minutes as if it were clockwork. Whenever it restarts, its disk quickly goes to 100%, and the thing chugs as if it were maxed out on everything. After a few minutes, however, it does level back out and operates as normal.... until it crashes again.
She's slowly going through updating all of the drivers one by one in the Devices menu, practically trying to speedrun through until all of them are updated before another bsod hits. We've already gone through and taken the step to turn off "quickstart" and deleted what we thought was all of the mod files, but it still persistently crashes. We've also done a Memory Diagnostic, but it didn't detect any problems (go figure). If anyone knows how to help with this, we're all trying to do this without resorting to a full factory reset, given we don't have a Window's disk. Please help!!!
