Just the first boot or every boot? Are you able to get into Windows?

pearl vapor Jul 4, 2024, 5:04 PM

#

Sometimes

mortal oriole Jul 4, 2024, 5:04 PM

#

Are you in Windows now?

pearl vapor Jul 4, 2024, 5:04 PM

#

I can go in windows with save changes & reset

mortal oriole Jul 4, 2024, 5:04 PM

#

Go to C:\Windows\Minidump and check if you have any minidump files. If you do, go back to the Windows folder and copy the Minidump folder itself to the Downloads folder (You can use the desktop if you don't have OneDrive syncing files). Zip the copied folder and attach it to a post. Please follow the instructions to the letter as Windows doesn't like you messing with files in this location.

Ok, go back and copy the folder itself, not just the files inside, to a different location. Windows doesn't like you messing with files here so we copy them out.

#

Then zip the copied folder, upload the zip to Discord

#

mortal oriole Jul 4, 2024, 5:11 PM

#

@pearl vapor You can do rar with winrar

pearl vapor Jul 4, 2024, 5:12 PM

#

compress to minidump rar

mortal oriole Jul 4, 2024, 5:12 PM

#

Zip is also built into Windows if you do Send to → Compressed (zipped) folder.

mortal oriole Jul 4, 2024, 5:12 PM

#

pearl vapor compress to minidump rar

Sure

pearl vapor Jul 4, 2024, 5:12 PM

#

📎 Minidump.zip

#

i did it with the windows

#

one

mortal oriole Jul 4, 2024, 5:13 PM

#

@pearl vapor You only BSOD on startup?

pearl vapor Jul 4, 2024, 5:13 PM

#

one sec

#

whats that

mortal oriole Jul 4, 2024, 5:14 PM

#

mortal oriole This blue screen?

This blue crash

pearl vapor Jul 4, 2024, 5:14 PM

#

yeah

#

that blue crash

#

tho

mortal oriole Jul 4, 2024, 5:14 PM

#

BSOD = Blue Screen of Death

pearl vapor Jul 4, 2024, 5:14 PM

#

it doesnt load

#

it stays on 0

#

then black screen

#

then 5 seconds

#

and bios

mortal oriole Jul 4, 2024, 5:14 PM

#

@pearl vapor It's stuck on 0%?

pearl vapor Jul 4, 2024, 5:14 PM

#

yeah

#

then it goes into a black screen

#

and after 5 seconds it loads up the bios

mortal oriole Jul 4, 2024, 5:16 PM

#

The dump files are crash logs from those BSODs, but these go quite far back in time. So it seems like it's not able to save most of the recent crash logs. That's why it's at 0%

#

The oldest of the five is from November 2023

pearl vapor Jul 4, 2024, 5:16 PM

#

pfff

mortal oriole Jul 4, 2024, 5:16 PM

#

The most recent is from the 23rd of june 2024, the second newest is from April

#

The newest though, it shows an issue with the NVMe. And if storage is bad, it can't save the dump file because the drive has been taken offline.

#

Which would also explain why it boots to the BIOS on the next boot

#

So the NVMe being bad would be my main suspect

pearl vapor Jul 4, 2024, 5:17 PM

#

whats

#

the nvme

mortal oriole Jul 4, 2024, 5:18 PM

#

SSD that looks like this:

pearl vapor Jul 4, 2024, 5:18 PM

#

oh yeah

mortal oriole Jul 4, 2024, 5:18 PM

#

Storage drive

pearl vapor Jul 4, 2024, 5:18 PM

#

i have

#

that

#

i have kingston fury 2tb

mortal oriole Jul 4, 2024, 5:18 PM

#

What I would do, back up any data you need and replace it.

#

You could also try a different motherboard slot if your board has multiple M.2 slots (The connector for these is called M.2)

#

A faulty SSD is way more common than a faulty motherboard slot, but it does happen from time to time

pearl vapor Jul 4, 2024, 5:19 PM

#

yeah there is more slots i think

#

so the reason to theese crashes is this

#

ssd

mortal oriole Jul 4, 2024, 5:20 PM

#

That would be my main suspect at least.

#

The latest crash blames an NVMe SSD. It not being able to dump data on the BSOD screen and it not finding the SSD on the next boot and instead goes to the BIOS.

#

You have the ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING motherboard

pearl vapor Jul 4, 2024, 5:21 PM

#

yeah

mortal oriole Jul 4, 2024, 5:22 PM

#

You have M.2 slots in these two locations:

#

The top one is really close to the GPU. You can see this cause overheating because of the heat from the GPU.

#

So if you use the top slot you should definitely try moving it to the bottom one.

pearl vapor Jul 4, 2024, 5:23 PM

#

yeah it is on the top slot

mortal oriole Jul 4, 2024, 5:23 PM

#

Try that first. Same issue, try a different SSD.

pearl vapor Jul 4, 2024, 5:23 PM

#

changing this slot wont change anything on the pc?

mortal oriole Jul 4, 2024, 5:23 PM

#

No

pearl vapor Jul 4, 2024, 5:23 PM

#

but if that doesnt work i need to change the ssd?

mortal oriole Jul 4, 2024, 5:24 PM

#

Most likely. It could also be a faulty motherboard, but SSDs die all the time, motherboards don't die that often.

pearl vapor Jul 4, 2024, 5:25 PM

all right

#

ill try changing the slot

#

#

mortal oriole Jul 4, 2024, 5:26 PM

#

👍

pearl vapor Jul 4, 2024, 5:26 PM

#

that i should buy

mortal oriole Jul 4, 2024, 5:28 PM

#

pearl vapor is there any specific brand of this ssd

Eh, not really, but there are tons and tons of crap chinese brands on Amazon that I would avoid. As long as it's a brand you recognize like Samsung, Kingston, Western Digital (WD), OCZ, Crucial,, etc
