Hello everyone! I need some guidance regarding my recent experience with a Windows 11 installation on a new SSD. My PC had been acting up for some time, so I replaced the motherboard and CPU, resulting in a clean install of Windows 11 Pro after formatting the SSD. Initially, everything seemed fine, but I soon encountered a BSOD with the "KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED" error, followed by difficulties in reinstalling Windows due to partition issues. I suspect the SSD might be faulty since after some changes, it feels like the OS resets on every reboot. I've run MemTest86 with no RAM errors, but I'm left wondering how to avoid future corruption issues after I get a new SSD. Are there other potential problems I should check, such as power supply or BIOS settings? Any advice would be highly appreciated!

To keep Windows 11 from getting corrupted again, you should definitely consider that your current SSD might be failing. If a dying SSD stops allowing writes, it can lead to system corruption, so replacing it seems wise. After that, do a fresh installation of Windows from a USB and make sure to watch out for unnecessary bloatware during the setup. And don't stress too much about the old SSD data if it’s mostly non-essential stuff; just focus on getting that new drive.
Glad to hear you backed up your important stuff! Once you get the new SSD and install Windows, just keep an eye on the installation settings to minimize issues.
