Yes, I did forget Crowdstrike. ________________________________ From: AF <[email protected]> on behalf of Josh Luthman <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2025 10:06 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] BSOD
Yes, there are actual error codes. That will help you figure out what's going. Did you guys all forget Crowdstrike?

I don't suppose the code reveals anything useful does it? Hardware fault and software bug are both always plausible. If there's no consistent behavior in the event log leading up to the blue screen, then my guess would be hardware. Disk issues can lead to bluescreen, but I would assume you'd have logs of other disk read failures and such. Silently dying without warning and without any error messages would make me think RAM. I haven't actually had to troubleshoot a PC issue in so long it's all kind of dusty, but I guess I'd start with wiggling my RAM and any expansion cards to make sure they're all in there solid. If you have two DIMMS I'd maybe operate with just one for awhile and see if it stops, then operate with just the other one for awhile and see if it stops. I'm sure you guys went through driver updates and all the other usual stuff. Maybe a driver downgrade is worth trying if you can identify when the issue started and there's evidence of an update around that time. Or isn't there a way to roll windows back to an earlier state? I forget what it's called because I haven't even thought about it since Windows 7, and I mostly remember turning the feature off to conserve disk space. -Adam ________________________________ From: AF <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> on behalf of Chuck <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2025 7:56 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Cc: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] BSOD It was doing it back to back this afternoon.

I do get some glitches in Win11, but blue screen's haven't been a problem. ________________________________ From: AF <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> on behalf of Chuck <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2025 8:26 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Cc: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] BSOD Just a blue screen and reboot.
