PC BSOD Event 162 + Event 41
For the last 6 months my pc has been crashing every so often. It occurs at no specific point, I have had it crash browsing YouTube, while gaming, and even while idle. Sometimes I get BSOD and others the PC just restarts. Most of the time the crash occurs immediately after event 162 volgmr, there are a few times that before the crash I had event 11 stornvme.
Specs:
Windows 11
i7-12700k
Gigabyte Z790 AORUS ELITE AX
MSI 4070Ti 12GB Gaming X Trio
Corsair Vengeance 64GB(4x16gb)
Corsair RM850e
Things I have tried:
I have replaced the PSU
I have ran memory test and passed
I ran furmark and had no crashes
I have uninstalled and reinstalled my GPU drivers
I have seen posts suggesting this may be a Mobo issue but I wanted to see if there were any other suggestions before I commit to that. Please let me know if there is any additional info I could provide, I tried to include everything I could think of. I have 5 dumps compressed to look at if anyone is interested as well Dumps.zip. Thanks!
EDIT:
I wanted to add that games have been crashing to desktop and my browser tabs have been crashing(browser stays open but the tab says it crashed) as well(Less frequently). Not sure how relevant this is but I figured I'd add it.
you never mentioned what storage hardware your using. from the issues you explain, my first thought would be a ram issue or a issue where the cpu load is a factor, like maybe poor cooling because of a clogged cooler, bad thermal paste, etc etc. ive had a few scenarios over the years where i literally had to take apart the whole pc and clean every slot with a new, dry, soft bristle toothbrush because something was in a memory slot or something to that nature, and yes it worked lol. sometimes it just sums up to corrupted software. if i was you i would back up all your stuff. NO system files. re-format with a fresh install and see what happens. if it still happens then its obviously hardware related. if thats the case then benchmark your setup and look for something that you would find as irregular. graphics will not make the operating system crash, however it will make the screen go black, if your cpu is crashing and having to restart maybe focus on sdd or cpu, usually ram is pretty obvious. either it boots or it wont from my experiences. thats about all i have to offer for my knowledge. good luck and i hope you solve your issue.
