Ive ben watching this thread . I received the results from my bad ram sticks. They had been overheated. Very odd since they had not been overclocked and have cooling applied to their heat shields. Im a firm believer win 11 is causing hardware issues.. at no time did my hardware monitor show any issues either.
Windows 11 Constantly Crashing
Has anyone figured out a way to get the Windows 11 OS to stop crashing? My computer is near non-functional as I can't even use it for more than 10 minutes.
And honestly anyone looking into downloading Windows 11 should NOT download.
Over the past week or so that I've had Windows 11 my computer has crashed at least twice a day and today it's crashed 5 times right after start up.
Please help!

2023-02-04T00:21:44+00:00 Looks like I'll be going the hardware route as well. Ordered a new MB, hoping it will end this pain. Grateful for fixes offered here though, most of which I've tried. But now I'm reduced to potentially going down yet another rabbit hole, and worse, spending precious beer money! If it works I can't even blame Microsoft - normally such an easy target. And the old MB? Soon to be a $600 frisbee.

2023-02-02T21:29:39+00:00 Here is an update from my side as well. With the repeated crashes I got frustrated with my PC so I went the hardware route in fixing it. I replaced the case, MB, CPU, added memory and only kept my old SSD drives, RAM, and GPU. Reinstalled my Windows 11. Everything seemed to be working fine for about 3 months now without a single crash or reboot.

2023-02-02T20:45:46+00:00 Sort of an answer to LuLus prior question: I can imagine a a PC going into an uncontrollable loop caused by software error or crash, consuming so much power that exceeds its cooling system to cope with (fans running full speed). Damage to processor or other motherboard hardware can occur,,,,,, I can't perceive any other scenarios where software can damage directly hardware components.

2023-02-02T09:26:28+00:00 Here is what is so weird. I've been on windows insider for 11 since the begining. Im running x570auros master had both 3000 and now 5000.. Alot of my issues have been with pcie4 m.2 drives. Everything will be fine then after an update or firmware. I'll have a drive that while loading a game. Windows will give me a device not found or crash bsod. Then it will just keep getting worse till eventually the drive "acts" like it's dead. Usually have to remove from the motherboard to keep from crashing. What's even wielder is I have 3 m.2s installed Only drives attached though the chipset will do this. One will work fine for a few days after the first ones removed. Then the other will do the same thing different brand drives also. Games will crash randomly to bsod even running off hdds sometimes.
I'll try everything to get it working again stock settings no luck usually. Usually have to install a backup of windows from before.the problems.
I think for some reason secure boot is causing these issues if it's not setup properly in bios.
This just happened again the other day. I reset the to the default keys in Secureboot and cleared the tpm
Now it's running like a dream my m.2 drives that I thought were dead are working great to.
Don't know if this has been my issue all this time or there were bugs that caused this before and I fixed it by accident when I would recover from. A backup and do default keys in secureboot Just make sure it's not in custom mode after keys are reset. It will say it's active and enabled, but it's NOT until you put secureboot back in standard mode.
Anyway that's what's eventually worked for me.
