PC keeps getting BSODs ?
Hey everyone... Not a big techy person and I'm at the point of frustration where i have no idea what's causing these BSOD anymore.. I've tried numerous things on youtube/google to solve the issues but they keep happening i would really appreciate some help if possible to try and solve this issue. I will randomly blue screen or my pc will restart sometimes when I'm gaming or even just watching a youtube video.
At first i thought it was just my ram so i went out and spent 150$ on new ram.... but it has continued to keep getting BSOD even after the new sticks went in. If I'm lucky i can go a few hours without a bluescreen but sometimes if i blue screen it will do it every 5 minutes or so until it gives up and lets me play for a while - Im not sure if there is a setting that's wrong in my pc or anything but i have tried many things to even check for outdated drivers and to my knowledge i have it all updated. I have even tried resetting my pc and keeping personal files..
1. Record the error message
Write down the blue screen error code (e.g. IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL) and take a screenshot.
2. Force reboot and enter safe mode.
Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds to force power off and reboot.
Press F8 or Shift+F8 to enter Safe Mode at startup to detect any driver or software conflict.
3. Check for viruses
Perform a full disk scan with Windows Defender or Malwarebytes.
4. System Restore or Reset
System Restore: Control Panel → System Security → System Protection → System Restore.
Reset System: Settings → Update and Security → Recovery → Reset this computer (keep files).
5. Check for hardware problems
If the problem remains unresolved, it may be a hardware failure (e.g. memory, hard disk, motherboard or power supply is damaged) and it is recommended to contact a professional repairer.
