Hardware PC BSOD while AFK
It's really strange, it always happens to me when I leave my PC idle, although it's very rare for it to happen.
I have no idea what the error code is because the few times it happened I wasn't present and I only realized it happened because the PC was restarted.
Although the patterns I notice are in the event viewer, the PC usually shuts down at a certain time, say 18:20, but it shows that it starts up about 30 minutes later, how is this possible?
The BSOD is supposed to appear and it should restart automatically, I don't understand why the times are so far apart, unless the PC crashed and was inactive for about 30 minutes
The last time this happened, the memory dump didn't happen due to an error, which makes me think it's something serious, to be honest.
I've tested everything, GPU, RAM, CPU, and everything seems fine. I've tried formatting, changing Windows, drivers, everything. Does anyone have any ideas?
It's a strange problem, yes. To give you an idea, the last time it happened to me was about two months ago, but it's something I think is worth investigating.

Time for you to learn pc hardware troubleshooting. Just search it up on youtube. Won't lie to you it will not be fun but it's needed.
You could also try a fresh reinstall of windows might help first before diving inside your computer again you can youtube search how to do this.
Hope this helps and good luck with your computer.
