Hey everyone! I'm having some serious issues with my computer that I built this year. It's been crashing almost every time I try to open a program, showing a blue screen with a sad face for a split second before it completely shuts down. This used to happen randomly, but now it's constant. I've tried some fixes like running commands to scan and check the health, and even disabled startup apps, which seemed to help temporarily, but as soon as I open something like Discord or Steam, it crashes again.
At first, it was just a few crashes here and there, but it's escalated to the point where I can barely use my PC anymore. I even reinstalled Windows, which helped for a bit—it didn't crash for a while—but after I unplugged my PC while on vacation, it started crashing again as soon as I tried gaming with friends. I attempted to enter safe mode to uninstall Discord since it's the program I can't open without crashing, but I can't even do that because it crashes again.
What should I do to fix this?

First off, you should try obtaining the dump files to analyze the BSOD. They’re located in C:WindowsMinidump. Can you access Windows normally or through Safe Mode? If so, go to that folder and see if you have any dump files. If you do, zip them up and upload them to a file-sharing site like catbox.moe or mediafire.com. It's really useful to have multiple files to work with, so follow the guide to set your system to create small memory dumps if you haven’t already.
