I've been dealing with recurring blue screen issues on my PC. It used to have a faulty SSD, which I replaced with a better one, but the problems persist months later. Here are my specs: Intel i7 8700k, 16GB RAM, and a 500GB SATA SSD. I'm hoping to find out what's causing these frequent crashes and how to fix them.

Have you checked if your SSD is full? Sometimes, a nearly full drive can lead to performance issues or even crashes. Just a heads-up!
Blue screens can offer clues for what's going wrong. Keep an eye on any patterns, like if they're happening at certain times or while running specific programs. What kind of error messages are you getting?
First off, you should check for dump files if you can get into Windows or Safe Mode. These files are crucial for diagnosing blue screens. Look in the C:WindowsMinidump directory, and if you find anything, zip them up and upload them to a file-sharing site. The more dumps you have, the better it is for figuring out the root cause of your issue!
Honestly, with the details you've shared, it seems like there might be a deeper issue with your computer. It could be a hardware malfunction, especially if you're getting varied blue screen codes.
Nope, it's got about 380GB free last time I checked.
