I just opened youtube and watch some videos, but then my PC getting frame freeze and it suddenly experienced a black screen, but it wasn’t the usual kind. It didn’t go completely black right away. Instead, the black area slowly spread starting from the top-left corner to the top-right, and then moved downward. It didn’t cover the entire screen at once.

And then i got error with stop code WHEA_INTERNAL_ERROR(0x122).

i managed to get Minidump file attached via link below:

    Hello. This is very likely a hardware issue involving a PCIe device or PCIe root port:

    User's image Does your PC have a dedicated GPU or an NVMe SSD? Was it just a one-time crash, or are the crashes happening repeatedly?
