Hey everyone, I've recently built a new gaming PC that I've been using for about two months now, and while it was running smoothly for the most part, I'm starting to experience random crashes. These crashes are becoming more frequent, particularly while I'm gaming, but they've also happened when taking the computer out of idle mode. I've run memtest and confirmed there's no issue with the RAM, and my GPU drivers are all up to date. I did an SFC scan as well, which didn't reveal any problems. It's worth mentioning that it's not always a Blue Screen of Death; sometimes the PC just crashes and reboots. I'm really worried it might be a CPU issue, which would be a nightmare for me. If anyone can take a look at my minidump files, which I've linked, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thank you in advance!

I checked your minidump files, and they are important. You’ll want more than one for a proper analysis. Also, I noticed that your CPU idle temps seem a bit high based on my specs. It might be worth checking your CPU cooler to ensure it's working properly. Overheating could definitely cause these crashes!
You definitely need to analyze those dump files for an accurate diagnosis of the BSODs. If you can boot into Windows, either normally or in Safe Mode, check the C:WindowsMinidump folder for any files. If you find them, zip the folder and upload it to a file-sharing site like MediaFire or Catbox.moe. Make sure you have multiple dump files if possible. If you only have one, follow a guide to adjust the settings to create Small Memory Dumps so you can get more data for troubleshooting. Good luck!
Yeah, I noticed that too! But it's strange because the HWinfo readings don’t seem to match what I expected. Just trying to get to the bottom of this!
