Hey everyone! I'm experiencing some serious issues with my PC. It started crashing apps and then suddenly, it won't boot into Windows 11 anymore. Here's what I'm working with:
- **PC:** MouseComputer SL6-G (2020)
- **Motherboard:** ASUS B450M-A
- **CPU:** Ryzen 5 3500
- **GPU:** GTX1650
- **RAM:** 8GB x1 (2666MHz)
- **Storage:** M.2 SATA SSD
Now for the weird stuff:
- My PC has random blackouts.
- Windows gets stuck at "Automatic Repair" and then shows an ACPI BIOS ERROR blue screen.
- Using any Windows installation media also leads to the same error, even if I take the SSD out.
- However, I can boot from Ubuntu installation media by adding "acpi=off" (the SSD is removed, and luckily, I recovered my data).
Here's what I've already tried:
- Replacing the CMOS battery.
- Resetting and updating the BIOS.
- Turning off PSS Support.
- Checking UEFI/CSM settings.
- Trying a single RAM stick in different slots.
Since Ubuntu works without ACPI, I'm starting to think it might be a problem with the ACPI table on the motherboard, or could it be a failure of the CPU or another component? I'd appreciate any advice on what steps to take next!

It sounds like you might need to check your dump files for a clearer idea of what’s causing the BSODs. If you can boot into Windows (or Safe Mode), look in C:WindowsMinidump for any crash logs. Zip those files up and upload them to a file-sharing site—something like catbox.moe usually works well. Multiple dump files would help a lot, so see if you can tweak your settings to get Small Memory Dumps if needed. This can give us more insight into what's malfunctioning!
