I recently splurged on a brand new gaming PC for around $3000, but I'm hitting a wall with constant Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors while playing Unreal Engine games. It happens regardless of whether I'm playing smaller games like Escape the Backrooms or larger ones like Squad, and it's becoming quite frustrating!
Here's what I've already tried:
- Ran MemTest with no errors
- Updated all drivers
- Updated the BIOS
- Temperatures are all normal
- Checked for corrupted Windows files
- Did a factory reset on my PC (sadly, I lost the dump files in the process).
Here's a quick rundown of my specs:
- ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER OC
- Intel Core i7-14700KF Tray
- Corsair H100 RGB Cooler
- Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 5600MHz (32GB)
- Kingston FURY Renegade PCIe M.2 NVME SSD (2TB)
- MSI MAG B760 Tomahawk WiFi Motherboard
- MSI MAG A750GL PCIe5 (750W PSU)
I would really appreciate any insights on what might be causing this or how I can resolve it!

Do you have any specific error messages from the BSOD? Have you tried running any stress tests or GPU benchmarks? It might help to pinpoint the issue better.
First off, getting your hands on those dump files would be super helpful for diagnosing the BSOD issue. If you can boot into Windows normally or via Safe Mode, check in C:WindowsMinidump for any dump files. If you find some, zip them up and upload them to a file sharing service like catbox.moe or mediafire.com. Multiple dump files are ideal, but if you only have one, it's worth uploading it. You might also want to change your settings for creating a Small Memory Dump. This guide can help you out: [Link to guide].
I can't remember all the messages; they're often memory-related, like memory_management BSODs. I get a lot of different ones. It's strange because I can run games like GTA and Battlefield without a hitch, but these smaller Unreal Engine games consistently crash my system.
