I have the same pc with the 1660ti gpu, I kid you not, it blue screened on me while I was trying to respond to this the first time. Usually black screen crashes while I'm doing nothing or while the computer is on but not in immediate use.
Repeated crashes and BSOD on ASUS TUF A15
Hello,
Several months ago I bought an gaming laptop, an Asus TUF A15 FA506IV with Windows 10 installed. Everything was fine in the first weeks, but then my computer started to crash and get BSOD randomly, except when I'm playing or using it intensively, which is weird.
I've tried everything, ranging from reinstalling drivers, to a complete reset and windows install.
I've checked RAM, disk and system files integrity, tried multiple repair tools, both Microsoft and unofficial, multiple times, installed every single driver based on Windows Update recommendations/constructor website, even used driver verifier, but nothing has changed since.
The only thing that sometimes changes is the error message of the bluescreen, when there's one. Often the screen only goes completly black, and nothing else happens.
Oh, and I can't show any memory/crash dump since nothing is generated.
Is there anything else to do, or is my computer doomed to be returned to the vendor ?
Specs :
OS : Windows 10 Family 10.0.19042

2023-02-17T12:04:49+00:00 Hello!
First my computer information:
OS Name: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro
System Model: ASUS TUF Gaming A15 FA506IV_FX506IV
Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 4800H with Radeon Graphics, 2900 Mhz, 8 Core(s), 16 Logical Processor(s)
Installed Physical Memory (RAM): 16,0 GB
Disk Drive Model: INTEL SSDPEKNW010T8
Size: 953,86 GB (1 024 203 640 320 bytes)
GPU Name: AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics
GPU Name: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060
Total Available Graphics Memory: 8460MB
Very similar (or the same) issue started emerging for me recently.
Aggressive BSOD with various error codes. KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED, PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and most recently a new one after Windows 11 Pro upgrade, HYPERVISOR_ERROR.
Analysing the Minidump files from the BSOD (When they are able to be created at all) reveals that atleast these modules have cause an BSOD: amdppm.sys, nkrnlmp.exe. I have read around that atleast the latter is often not the root cause of the error.These BSODS come about seemingly randomly. However, some mentions in this thread such as the BSOD happening with Youtube videos or while certain games are running does match to my experience. In addition, my crashes may happen immediately after logging into the system. This may happen multiple times in a row. What makes this infuriating, is that between some of the fix attempts I will list, there might've been over weeklong periods where no BSOD occurs at all, only for everything to come crashing down again.
Actions I have taken so far and which did not work:
- Update Windows and all drivers.
- Re-install various drivers
- Remove some software
- Run Memtest86 Diagnostics to detect memory hardware issues
- Reset Windows 10 Pro
- Upgrade to Windows 11
- Reset Windows 11 Pro
- Run Memtest86 Diagnostics again.
Actions I have taken and results are pending:
This whole fiasco has been exhausting, I have two options left: Hardware or heating which might be intertwined. I am now some hours free of the issues (Last BSOD 17.02.2023, 10:23am) after the Performance Boost Mode change.

Just keeping you informed.

reddit thread that fixed my problem finally I set up a power plan for everyday normal gaming and watching videos etc.. set the boost to efficient aggressive. No more wild fluctuating boosts at idle/low load spiking to 4.3ghz. idle Temps in the 40c's and best of all no black screens or random resets. Core clock runs around stock but will still boost at over 60% load instead of all the time. Way better than the 99% power state workaround that others have suggested.Have a second power plan for heavy gaming with the aggressive boost if needed.
