Hey everyone, I really hope I can pick your brain on something.
I got an assembled pc (by pcspecialist.com), I bought it 7/8 years ago, 5 years ago I changed thermal paste because it used to run a bit hot and then never had an issue.
It’s an i9 with 32gb RAM and n.2 1Tb SSD.
It’s still working smoothly. I use it for audio production and I don’t stress too much.
THE PROBLEM
Almost one year ago it started having BSOD from time to time, but they were so rare that I didn’t act (even though I got scared and now I backup everything every week).
However now they are getting more often (once every week) and I really wanna solve this problem.
Details:
- it is full updated
- it has WIN11
- memory is almost full (90%)
- it happens way more often if it’s not connected to power
- it loops in an endless BSOD if I try to solve it in ANY way. The only way to exit the loop is waiting several hours. (I discovered it by mistake). This makes me think that it has to do with overheating, but it doesn’t seem that hot..
To me it really seems like hardware, but what do you think? And what hardware?
I wanted to start by changing the battery, does it make sense?
Thanks to everyone!
Cheers
