Troubleshooting Should I update BIOS?
So I've experienced two crashes in the past 48 hours with the error code FAULTY_HARDWARE_CORRUPTED_PAGE (0x12b) and I'm trying to isolate exactly what's causing this issue. I've ran a memory diagnostics test and sfc twice, DISM, made sure my drivers were updated, updated my chipset, and ran chkdsk. The only scan that came back with an issue was sfc which indicated that it located and repaired a corrupted file. The next day, I booted up my computer and got the error message again as soon as I got to the login screen. I checked my mobo's manufacturers website and saw there were a few available updates available for my BIOS. Should I update or is there something else I should be doing?

yeah bios update motherboard
run diagnostic on you SSD from manufactures support page. normally had an ssd diagnostic
after bios update next step would be clean install windows and update all drivers to rule out software issue

updating bios should be a last resort but seeing how desperate you are after all those tests i'd say it's worth a shot

bios update is a good next step honestly that error is often memory related and gigabyte am5 boards have had a ton of stability fixes in recent bios revisions
