BSODs Driving Me Crazy on a Newer Mini PC

bikemanI7 · Jul 9, 2023

No Room in Profile to add this 3rd Household System, so gonna post the specs in this topic below the first line

BosGame U32 Mini PC
AMD Ryzen 3 3200U with Vega 3 Graphics 2.90ghz-boosting to 3.5ghz
8GB of DDR 4 Sodimm Ram
256GB SSD M.2
Logitech G213 Keyboard
Generic Mouse not sure whom makes it
Asus VG245H 1080P HDMI Monitor
Windows 11 Pro x64 22621.1928

Crash most often occurs even when simply browsing the web with latest MS Edge browser, sometimes it will behave fine and not crash for a while, and other times its nearly soon as you open a website, then it blue screens, sits there for a good 10-15 minutes, and does nothing, made sure thought it was setup to at least attempt to save mini dumps.

Note i used this Mini PC briefly upstairs here with my Samsung Television it ran perfectly fine here, no crashes, no nothing at all occurred then---soon as set it up on its real home desk, darn thing started crashing alot which not sure on why as yet. Plan on opening it soon to check ram seating and look over the internals closer in case something came loose while moving it from upstairs to downstairs. Other 2 Systems running great here

No Mini Dumps was able to be created, it just sat there at 0 percent for a good 10-15 minutes, finally i shut off via Power button as it wasn't restarting or nothing

Is it Safe to Leave a Mini PC on over night to run these tasks---will get them done asap, and post the results as soon as i can

This Bsod is happening on The BosGame Mini PC, (I couldn't fit the specs) into my System specs area, as System 1 is my Daily use, System 2 is my occasional use, and BosGame Mini PC is NEW/Family PC, Obtained via Giveaway from a Tech Youtuber channel.

First Unboxing it wasn't crashing at all on upstairs TV, started bluescreening when i set it up on it's actual desk with it's Monitor and it's Keyboard and such. Hope this clears things up, i know not the proper way to list the specs of it, but sadly i don't have room for a 3rd System in Profile area lol

Though not sure why started crashing in the first place--it was nice and stable on it's Temporary Table and when was hooked to Television as Temporary Monitor, though i didn't have Logitech Ghub installed then for her Keyboard, but i got that on All Systems to control the Keyboards RGB lights/or Headset Lights, Logitech GHub installed on Desktop, PC 2 Laptop, and PC 3 BosGame Mini PC

Waranty Status on BosGame U32 Mini PC should have a year i think, i did try contacting BosGame support, but I've heard 0 back from them at all

Think covered this time every single thing hopefully

Hopefully i didn't miss anything this time around

All i want is this little Mini PC stable for Household Members to use for there daily use PC, was suppose to replace a 10-11 year old Desktop AMD A6 3620 based HP Pavilion P6-2133W, and sadly this thing not even stable enough to use for 5 minutes even when browsing web to do things on it. It was nice and stable on first unboxing and connected at first temporarily to my Television up here as Monitor til i received a newer Monitor for Desktop 1, and then i gave older Monitor to Mini PC, and set it up on its actual desk.

Guess if i can't make this Mini PC stable in the future, unless i spend money in future to replace Mini PC's M.2 and Ram, and pray it would be stable then, guess eventually will invest more money into getting a decent full Mid tower built or pre built for Family

Been working on this since 4am yesterday til 2pm, and today 6am and continuing

Update: Well it crashed a Final Time in Windows 11 Pro, now No Picture on Monitor at all, guess i'll be re hooking up the HP Desktop Later on today, and putting this Mini PC back into its box, and saving it til someday i get a newer M.2 and Ram, and see if it works then after that, very sad day indeed, never had a Computer just totally not boot period, no display on Monitor, nothing now. Guess putting myself in for this giveaway was a bad idea after all

All that time and energy wasted on trying to get it to work properly sighs. Plus setting it up on The Family Desk

(Desk where it is setup/Monitor, and location it is)

Could it just have over heated and maybe it will work later? if not i guess its a paper weight, and Family will be back on 10-11 year old HP Desktop til funds allow purchasing a newer Tower
