in my experience sometimes BSODs just happen for no reason and never again or atleast very rarely, i wouldnt worry about it too much but one thing you can do is run command prompt as an administrator and type "sfc /scannow" to search for any system file corruption
after that has completed you could also run
"DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth"
if it says it found any errors or corruption, run "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth"

If it happens again tho, take a picture of the error to troubleshoot it

#

And yeah there’s sometimes random bsod, they don’t always mean something

Hmm. I'll also chime in.

What's your CPU?

What's your RAM?

Do you know what your RAM speed is on the packaging and in Windows? (Task Manager > Performance > Memory)

Do you use a PCIe riser? (Is there anything between the video card and the motherboard slot?)

Right, ram can also be a small issue. You need to make sure xmp is enabled in your bios if you have an intel cpu, and there’s something else for amd cpus but I forgot. Just make sure your ram is running at advertised speeds

The CPU alone is also very important, as there are some marginal/failing 13700K/13900K/14700K/14900K in the wild

#

same for if a riser is being used. many risers can't handle 4.0 speeds

#

I’m a gaming laptop user so idk about the failing cpus and what 4.0 you talking about lol

#

But maybe run a cinebench multi core stress test for 10m

#

Check stability

AMD CPU
Did you remember to keep up with BIOS, AGESA, and chipset driver updates

#

motherboard name?

keen badger Mar 9, 2024, 2:23 PM

#

It looks like it's missing several letters

#

#

which? (wrong choice = potential brick)

#

(in the future, for motherboard models, do not skip any letters)

#

motherboard makers like to put a bunch of models under mostly the same name

#

sometimes, like Gigabyte, the only difference is a "rev X"

#

and yet, that "rev X" causes what you need to download to be completely different

#

#

You probably should download this in your local Asus support website

#

#

it's a start; just make sure that you're not behind firmware-wise before anything else

#

compare your current firmware versions to ones you can find on manufacturers website

#

and

#

windows update

to flash the bios, put the bios in a usb flash drive, go to the bios, and look for the option to flash the bios

rustic sinew Mar 9, 2024, 2:31 PM

#

you need to know what you're doing when you flash bios. fail at doing so, and you'll brick your motherboard.

#

find a youtube guide on flashing bios

#

if youre having issues, updating bios may fix it

#

lol bro i always think flashing bios is complicated

#

i got lucky with my computer tho, i dont need to flash bios

#

i just run a bios installer and when i restart laptop, it automatically upd bios

#

ngl it shud be like that for computers

#

everything sounds complicated for the first time

#

if you don't have latest version or are having problems with your computer

its a possible fix
