This has become very annoying. If I am watching a movie or sports broadcast on my Windows 11 laptop, sometimes I get a screen freeze, loud buzzing noise and BSOD. It says you are analyzing the issue and will restart. That never happens. The progress shows 0%. There is not minidump. My maintenance is current, and so are my drivers to the best of my knowledge.
Please provide a solution to this annoying issue that actually works. I have already tried all the standard suggestions to no avail, and I need a resolution that really fixes this issue.

Sorry for the delay in reply. I've been offline.
From my experience, I have found that a clean install is more effective. But if you want to try the repair/install first, that's fine.
Do you know how to do the procedure or do you need a step-by-step guide?

Yes, I don't want to do a clean install and loose everything. Can I do a repair/install instead and save my files?
Thanks for the clarification.
HP Diagnostics is usually good at detecting RAM problems. If it didn't detect any problems, then your RAM should be fine.
Are there any objections to performing a clean install of Windows?
Clean Installing Windows will remove all data stored on the system. Therefore, you will need to back up your personal files on an external drive or cloud storage service.
I'm considering suggesting you do this because instability issues don't survive a clean install unless the problem is caused by hardware.

Nothing. I ran the HP diagnostics, and they came back clean.
What exactly happened when you tried to run MemTest86?
