I've been dealing with Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors all day long—up to 15 times! Each time, it happens within about 10 minutes of using my computer. I've gone through various solutions, but things have only gotten worse; now it just freezes at 100% during these instances. Any advice on how to fix this?

It might be worth trying to boot into safe mode and running the command "sfc /scannow" in a command prompt. This command can fix system files that might be causing the problem. Just a simple step that could lead to a solution!
Have you run a memtest86? It could help identify any memory issues that might be causing these BSODs. Give it a try if you haven't already!
Just a heads-up: while it's great that folks are trying to help, a lot of suggested solutions can be pretty hit or miss. BSODs can stem from many different problems. If you can, check the error code shown during the BSOD—sharing that can really help narrow down the specific issue.
First off, you might want to get the dump files, which are crucial for diagnosing BSOD issues. If you can access Windows normally or through Safe Mode, check the C:WindowsMinidump folder for any files there. If you find some, copy them to your desktop, zip them up, and upload them to a file-sharing site. It’s best to have multiple dump files since it gives a clearer picture of the problem. If you’re not sure about the process, there’s a guide available to help you change the dump settings as well.
Could you clarify what a dump file actually includes? I’m not very familiar with them.
Sure! A dump file contains crash logs from the BSOD, which can help identify the root cause of the issue.
