Another crash happened today: BSOD26 - Google Drive

It occurred when the system was idle, the laptop was just running, and I wasn't doing anything on it. I wasn't even around during the moment of the crash, just saw the aftermath (e.g. the black screen)

Also, a curious side effect I noticed -- I can't open the System Properties Screen (Explorer -> This PC -> RMB -> Select "Properties" from the menu). A window appears, but closes on its own.

Install ArmouryCrate and disable the discrete Nvidia graphic card. If the BSODs continie disable the onboard graphic card and run the system only on the discrete card. This way you will eliminate atleast the video. Run SMART checkup on your SSD. Most probably this is the culprit of all issues.

The collected logs were again typical of malfunctioning hardware.


Run each of the one hour OCCT tests > take pictures > post images or share links

I haven't yet had the opportunity to run the tests, but I did get a freeze with black screen today, here are the logs / dumps: BSOD27 - Google Drive

Basically, I wasn't around to see this one, but I was about to watch a documentary for my studies via the VLC player, I scrolled through the video, then unplugged the sound device to listen to it on speaker. It froze a couple of minutes afterwards, most likely. The sound device is a fifine SC3 board connected via USB (I have a Fifine mic that I used for voiceover recording, and a Logitech Pro X headset, both of which are connected to the soundboard).

The malfunctioning hardware is expected to cause hangs, freezes, or BSODs.

Another freeze with black screen occurred during a gaming session: BSOD28 - Google Drive

Please contact Asus or local store for possible hardware servicing.

Consider finding an alternative computer.
