I've been using my PC for about a year and a half when I first encountered a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) due to a failed SSD, which I replaced. However, after replacing the SSD, I've been faced with a series of BSODs showing different error codes. I tried several troubleshooting steps in this order:
1. Reset the PC while keeping my files from the first week with the new SSD, but the BSODs continued.
2. Ran an SFC scan, DISM scan, and a memory diagnostic—none of these found any issues.
3. Did another Windows reset using the 'Keep my files' option, but the BSODs persisted.
4. Fully reset the PC, wiping the C: drive completely. Unfortunately, this increased the frequency of BSODs.
5. Finally, I performed a complete clean installation of Windows, deleting all partitions and starting fresh. After reinstalling my software, the BSODs are still happening intermittently.
I'm at a loss for what to do next. Any advice?

To get a clearer idea of why the BSODs are happening, you’ll need the dump files. These files are created during a crash and give insights into what went wrong. If you're able to boot into Windows or Safe Mode, check out the folder C:WindowsMinidump for any dump files. Zip that folder and upload it to a file-sharing site like catbox.moe or mediafire.com. More dump files can help in diagnosing the problem. If you only have one dump or none at all, you can also follow a guide to adjust your settings to make sure you're capturing Small Memory Dumps moving forward.
What brand and model is your new SSD? Sometimes specific models can have compatibility issues or firmware problems that lead to BSODs. Knowing the details can help pinpoint the issue.
