Win 10 Bluescreen - SOLVED!!!!

Question

Guys, I have a built PC for WFH fun with AMD Ryzen 5 2400G Radeon 16G RAM sitting on ASRock B450M Pro4 with a clean Win 10 installed on Kingston SSD 240G. Had this working fine for over a year but around July something started to keep crashing windows with all sorts of errors... each time something new, one thing started to be stable is that I get 5-10 bluescreen a day...

Tried the following:

1. run antivirus softwares, varuious, nothing found
2. made all win updates, got worse actually
3. removed recent win updates, was the same, not as bad as with the win updates at the time
4. reinstalled windows, worked for a while but max a week
5. removed almost all 3rd party softwares, have only kept a few needed for work, VMWare Horizon Client, SnagIt, Viber, Zoom
6. refreshed all hardware drivers, using win itslf but also used some hardware specific tool what they have for AMD suff.

no resolution... was wondering if anyone would have an idea what else could be done here to fix windows other than obviously scrapping the whole thing and buy a mac?

Is there a tool you know of what would monitor the system and when crashed would give meaningful reason? Windows talks mickey mouse language when it gets to error messages...

Thanks, T

Whoever has the same issue should first try what I ended up trying the last... took my karcher wd3 and cleaned the whole thing... coolers, fans anything that had even a bit of dust, since then almost 4 days of 24/7 running and no single restart or bluescreen, no promlematic events... so thanks karcher, you saved me from months of bluescreen nightmare...

Hi Tamas

No problem, I understand . . .

Blue screens have many causes, device drivers can be corrupt or incompatible, software can cause blue screens as can a hardware component, there are so many causes and troubleshooting blue screens can be a long process, reading dump files is just one of those processes

Hi Dave, 

You ar every kind but I am looking for a way to understand and fix my problem without talking to an sme each time I get a bluescreen.

I find it hard to accept that in 2020/2021 windows is actually less stable than it was in the early 90's...

Hi Tamas

I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this . . .

Please check to see if your PC is producing any minidump files, I will check those to see if they provide any insight into a potential cause of the system crashes . . .

Open Windows File Explorer

Navigate to C:\Windows\Minidump

Copy any minidump files onto your Desktop, then zip those up

Upload the zip file to the Cloud (OneDrive, DropBox . . . etc.), then choose to share those and get a share link

Then post the link here to the zip file, so we can take a look for you . . .
