So, I just went through the whole hassle of doing a totally clean Windows installation today. I wiped everything, grabbed all the latest GPU drivers and the chipset drivers for my motherboard, then downloaded a game from Steam. Now, the game crashes even when I have everything set to optimal settings. This time, unlike last time, I actually made sure to install those AMD chipset drivers for the B350 chipset. But the real kicker is that instead of just crashing silently in the background, I'm getting hit with BSODs left and right now. The game barely survives 10 minutes before it goes down. I even had another BSOD happen while I wasn't even gaming, accompanied by this loud, annoying noise coming from inside the case. Here’s what I’m seeing in the Event Viewer: "The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000050 (0xffffffffffffffff, 0x0000000000000010, 0xffffffffffffffffffff, 0x0000000000000002). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report ID"
"The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) did not load:
dam
EhStorClass"
When things go south and the system hits those critical levels that trigger the crash, the source points back to Kernel-Power.
I’m honestly starting to think this isn't some software glitch at all—it feels like a hardware nightmare. Like, we're looking at either a failing power supply or some other component just giving up the ghost.
