What should I do about my laptop repeatedly crashing and running slow?

Before going for a complete reinstall, check your system's BIOS settings, and make sure your data is backed up. Using a blue screen viewer to analyze crash reports can also give you clues on the issue. If you see it’s a GPU driver problem, try reverting to an older version. I once had luck with a two-year-old driver that worked much better.

I had a similar problem before, and I reinstalled Windows but ended up having a tough time recovering my data. My suggestion is to back up everything important first. You can also check if your system's performance is being hindered by the GPU or recent updates. Sometimes older drivers are more stable, so it might be worth downgrading if that’s the case.

It sounds like a real headache! Before you reinstall Windows, try resetting it first. Click the Windows icon, search for 'Reset this PC,' and follow the prompts to fix problems using Windows Update. This should reinstall Windows while keeping your files and settings intact, which might resolve the issues without the hassle of a full install.

I've been there too! The crashing may stem from Windows 11 bugs or issues with particular updates. If you're really fed up, rolling back to Windows 10 could be a solid option—just keep in mind that MSI laptops can have driver issues with 11. I know my Vector series runs like a dream on 10.
