Question Windows 11 BSOD ?

[iMatty]

So lately my PC has been blue screening randomly, and honestly I don't know how to create the dump thing after Windows blue screens.
I did sfc /scan now a few days ago and it did find some corrupted files and they were "fixed" but today, actually before I decided to post here, the PC blue screened.
Also should mention the temps are all fine.

thank you in advance

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

Include PSU, disk drives, attached peripherals - specs.

Look in Reliabilty History/Monitor and Event Viewer for any specific error codes, warnings,, or even informational events being logged just before or at the time of the blue screens.

Dump files can be helpful - however, there must be some underlying details to put it all in perspective.

PC Specs
Motherboard: MSI PRO Z790-P WIFI
CPU: i7 12700K
GPU: 2060 FE
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 32GB
PSU: NZXT C1000 Gold

Mobo BIOS is already flashed to the latest one available on the MSI website.
I have 5 drives in total, including the system one:
1 x SDD, 3 x M.2 and 1 x HDD

For OS information I don't really know what you want exactly so.
Also, Windows has already created multiple minidump files that i can attach if needed

What I see in Reliability History is multiple and varying errors. That, again from my view, is a sign of a faltering and failing PSU.

The problems began on the 14th and then became worse on the 21st with a few interim errors in between. Check the details of those dates to see what was logged. ( Event Viewer can be used as well. Just requires more time and effort to navigate and understand. You can change and filter views to help narrow down problems.)

Overall the PSU may now simply be unable to keep up with power demands. Remember that PSU's provide 3 different voltages (3.3, 5, and 12) to various system components. Any interruptions in a given voltage or just an out of tolerance voltage can and does wreak havoc on the supported host system.

Unexpected shutdowns (Loss of power) corrupt files: "dism", "sfc /scannow" fix the problems and files get corrupted again.

= = = =

That said, there are some things that can be done.

First, if at possible, ensure that all important data is backed up and proven to be recoverale and readable. Backup locations should be away from the problem PC in question,.

Power down, unplug, open the case.

Clean out dust and debris.

Verify by sight and feel that all connectors, cards, RAM, jumpers, and case connections are fully and firmly in place.

Use a bright flashlight to inspect for signs of damage: bare conductor showing, melted insulation, pinched or kinked wires, corrossion, missing or loose screws, blackened or browned areas, moisture, dead bugs, cracks, swollen components.

Hopefully the problem is a loose connection somewhere. Heating and cooling cause expansion and contraction that will and does cause connections to wiggle loose. As do vibrations.....

Check every thing carefully and continue to watch the logs. Patterns may be noted. Or some error may be or become more predominate.

Take a couple more screenshots of Reliability History - especially on dates where there are lots of errors. Check the technical details. They may proven helpful as well.

I will keep that in mind and i'll update on what happens later.
On another note, some of the pc shutting down is related to sometimes me placing the PC on sleep, and when i turn it on it goes to a black screen then restarts the pc it doesnt happen any other time as well so am not sure what that is related to.

Turn off/disable all power savers, sleep modes, etc..

Ensure that nothing else is happening that may be starting or otherwise reinstating them.

Look in Task Manager > Startup and Task Scheduler for triggers.

Once the system is working as it should be and remaining stable then you can methodically implement power saving configurations one at a time.

Allow a couple of days time between each change or adjustment.

Use Windows "powercfg" command to check the current configuration.

Start with "powercfg /list".
