I've been experiencing some frustrating blue screen crashes lately, and I'm trying to figure out what might be going wrong. I did a minidump analysis with BlueScreenView, and I'm hoping to get some advice. Here's a quick rundown of my setup: I'm using a Ryzen 5 2400G (I tried overclocking it to 3.8 GHz with 1.375V recently), a Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro motherboard, and I have 16GB of Kingston Fury Beast DDR4 3200MHz RAM (which I stress-tested with linpack, tm5, and occt, and found no issues). I also have a Corsair RM850 power supply, but I haven't connected a GPU yet. Any thoughts on what could be causing these crashes?

It sounds like you might want to check for dump files after these crashes. Those files are crucial for a proper analysis of your BSODs. If you can boot into Windows normally or even Safe Mode, head over to C:WindowsMinidump and see if there are any files there. If you find some, zip them up and upload them using a file-sharing service that works—like catbox.moe or mediafire.com. Having multiple dump files is ideal, so if you're missing some, there's a guide that can help you set it up for small memory dumps.
The error code 0xc000001d could indicate a problematic CPU. Just to be safe, make sure to list all your system specs clearly; that can help narrow down potential issues. The overclocking might also be worth revisiting, just in case it's too aggressive.
Yeah, I added the specs to my original post. Hopefully, that helps!
