Windows 11 24H2 forced update causes frequent blue screens under high load

After upgrading the system to Windows 11 24H2 and completing one mandatory update, the computer frequently experiences blue screens when running high-load programs (even with the graphics card driver updated to the latest version). Please advise on troubleshooting steps or solutions.

    Sometimes upgrading to the latest version, 25H2, is a good idea as it may fix the issue you are encountering.

    This is a pretty common issue with Windows 11 24H2 right now, especially under heavy CPU/GPU load. In most cases it’s not the GPU driver itself, but chipset drivers, BIOS, or unstable power/thermal settings that 24H2 is more sensitive to. First things to try: update BIOS + chipset drivers, disable any CPU/GPU overclocking (including XMP/EXPO), and check temps. If that doesn’t help, rolling back the last Windows update or even 24H2 itself often stops the blue screens until Microsoft fixes it properly.
