I've been experiencing some issues with my PC crashing when it's idle, often resulting in a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). I've been overclocking my Intel i9-14900K, and I've monitored the temperatures during stress tests like OCCT, Cinebench, and Prime95, all of which seem normal. There are no WHEA errors, and everything appears stable. However, I looked into the dump file, but I'm not quite sure how to interpret it. I have a link to the dump file if someone could help analyze it. In the meantime, I've reset the BIOS to see if that resolves the issue, and I confirmed that my ASUS motherboard has the latest microcode update for this processor.

It seems like you were only able to collect one dump file, which isn't enough. It's ideal to gather all available dump files for analysis, especially if you've had multiple crashes. You might also want to use a system info tool that our community developed. It can gather logs and deeper system info to help track down the root of the problem.
To get a better understanding of what's causing those BSODs, you’ll need to check for dump files. These files contain crash logs that can help identify the issue. If you can boot into Windows normally or through Safe Mode, check in C:WindowsMinidump for any dump files. If you find some, zip the folder and upload it to a file-sharing site like Mediafire or Catbox.moe. It's better to have several dump files to work with, so if you only have one, consider following a guide to change the dump type to Small Memory Dump, as those do not overwrite.
Thanks for the tip! Where can I find that tool? Is it possible to diagnose the issue with just one dump file, or do I really need more?
