I've been having serious issues with my computer crashing with the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) and it's giving me various error codes. I've read that updating drivers may help, but Windows isn't showing any updates available. On top of that, I can't download the latest Windows 11 update (24h2) because my internet is really unreliable. I've already spent over 4 hours trying to troubleshoot this. I've reseated the RAM, downloaded the drivers for my motherboard, and spent a lot of time in the command prompt. I managed to run an SFC scan and a DISM image repair, which seemed to fix some issues, but not the main problem. I'm worried there might be some corrupt files I can't repair. Should I consider replacing my RAM, CPU, or M.2 drive? Here are my specs: MSI z790 tomahawk max WiFi, 4070ti super, Intel 14900k, Vengeance (2x16) DDR5 6000mt/s.

To figure out what's causing those BSODs, you really need to check for dump files. They record crash info that can help diagnose the problem. If you can boot into Windows normally or through Safe Mode, look for any files in C:WindowsMinidump. Once you find them, zip the folder and upload it somewhere easy, like catbox.moe or mediafire. Having multiple dump files will give us more data to work with.
