I noticed a warning symbol next to my PC in the control panel under devices, and it also appears when I try to troubleshoot. My computer has been having numerous issues, like freezing, crashing, blue screen errors, and possibly some corruption in my hard drive or SSD. I've tried fixing these issues by checking BIOS settings and reviewing logs in Event Viewer. Recently, I did a reset on my PC, which cleaned up some corrupt files, and I performed a clean install of my graphics drivers without any additional software. I'm still monitoring to see if the problems are gone. I'm wondering if this warning symbol is something I need to take seriously or if it's normal. If it's not a big deal, I might just ignore it since I plan on getting a new computer later this year. I'm still learning about PCs, so I'd appreciate any straightforward advice. Thanks!

It’s definitely a good idea to look into that warning symbol, especially since you've had freezing issues. It could indicate a driver problem. If you can boot into Windows, check the C:WindowsMinidump folder for any crash logs from the blue screens. If you find some, zip them up and upload them using sites like catbox.moe or mediafire. Having those logs will help to diagnose the issue better!
Got it! I’ll check for minidump files and see what I can find to help figure this out. Thanks for the tip!
