My colleague's PC keeps crashing, and I'm trying to determine whether the issue lies with the power supply, graphics card, or RAM. I've noticed that there's also some brightness flickering along with the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) error. Any advice on how to figure out which hardware component might be causing these problems?

Just echoing what the previous commenter mentioned – it’s crucial to get the dump files uploaded. They contain crash logs that are essential for diagnosing the BSOD. If you need more guidance on the steps, let me know!
I tried adding an image but it’s tricky here. Still, what I've seen is that many issues like flickering and BSOD can stem from power supply problems or faulty RAM. Keep a close eye on those components as you run your checks.
I uploaded the minidump zip as advised: [Mediafire link](). Any comments if it looks like the PSU might be the problem? Should I create a new post for this?
To pinpoint the BSOD issue, you need to access the dump files from your PC. If you can boot normally or into Safe Mode, check for dump files in the C:WindowsMinidump folder. You'll want to zip up those files and upload them to a file sharing site. More dump files help with analysis, so if you only have one, make sure to adjust your settings to create small memory dumps. This allows for better troubleshooting in the long run.
