Running Windows 11 Pro, 21H2, I have been getting the occasional BSOD. Yesterday even while booting (!). Never before in ca. 6 months I own this computer (see my specs). WinDbg (a hopelessly outdated tool) sometimes says it's memory related. I have pretty high-end memory, though (G.Skill Trident Z Royal Elite 2x32GB), with lifetime warranty, so I doubt it's really the memory (a BIOS mentest86 self-test also revealed no errors).
What I do worry about, though, is the memory controller. My G.Skill Trident Z Royal Elite needs to run at 1.5v (XMP Profile 2), which is pushing the envelope. I really hope this is not a matter of my CPU (memory controller is on CPU these days) slowly beginning to degrade. But since memory tests reveal no obvious errors, I still doubt it's really the memory. And when I get the BSOD (like 1x every 10 days), it's usually right after I booted.
Hope someone can shed some light on this.
N.B. I had earlier BSODs, but those were related to crappy Alienware software, which I then promptly removed.
