My Computer Crashes with a BSOD When I Touch the Screen, What’s Wrong?

Asked By CuriousCat93 On

I'm experiencing a weird issue with my computer. It starts up fine, but anytime I touch the screen, it glitches out like TV static, and then either a blue screen of death (BSOD) appears or the system just freezes until I shut it down. I'm not sure if this is a RAM issue or something else, but touching the screen seems to trigger it. I have some minidump files that might help diagnose the problem, and here's the link to them.

It sounds like you're dealing with a troublesome issue there! First off, to get an accurate analysis of those BSODs, you'll want to gather your minidump files. If you can get into Windows, try checking in C:WindowsMinidump for any crash logs. Zip that folder and upload it to a file-sharing site like Catbox or MediaFire. More files can really help narrow it down! Also, see if you can change your dump type to Small Memory Dump for better results.

This is likely not a RAM issue; it's more straightforward. Since the problem happens when you touch the screen, it could be related to the touch screen or graphics driver miscommunication.

It's interesting; while the BSODs seem to indicate memory errors, touching the screen shouldn't normally cause a crash unless there's a fault. It might be a short causing power issues when you touch it, especially if you're dealing with static buildup. Check your setup; if you have rugs, they can create a lot of static, which might be shocking your PC instead.
