I'm having a serious issue with my PC: I'm getting a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) every 10 minutes or so, and it's really frustrating. I've tried several solutions but now, instead of just crashing, it freezes at 100% when the BSOD happens. This problem has been especially bad today; it seems like it's occurred over 15 times just today alone. Any tips on how to resolve this?

Have you tried using memtest86? It's a great tool to check for any issues with your RAM. Sometimes, faulty memory can cause frequent crashes like the ones you’re experiencing. It’s worth a shot to run it and see if you get any errors!
It sounds like you're dealing with some serious BSOD issues! One of the most helpful things you can do is to collect dump files from the crashes. If you can access Windows normally or boot into Safe Mode, check the C:WindowsMinidump directory for any files. If you find some, zip them and upload to a file sharing site like catbox.moe or mediafire.com. Having these files will really help in diagnosing the problem, especially if you get more than one. Be sure to follow this guide to set up the dump type to Small Memory Dump for additional insights!
I recommend booting into Safe Mode and running a command prompt. Try executing "sfc /scannow" to check for and repair any corrupted system files. Sometimes this quick fix can resolve a lot of underlying issues causing the BSODs.
That's a good suggestion! I had a similar issue before, and running that command helped sort out some corrupted files for me.
