It took 12 days to have instability with a new BSOD.

Can all non-Windows drives be continuously detached for substantially longer than 12 days?

If not then plan to clean install Windows 10.

Please save any new important files to restore after restoring the previous Windows 11 backup image.

New crashes today. Two BSODs.

Both occurred different ways, with one crashing when exiting a game, allowing me to do certain things like move programs around while some programs froze, then BSOD stating memory management.

Went to Bios, disabled SATA connections beyond my OS drive (in case I missed one), and when booting it went straight to bios again on restart. When it did finally exit bios, it went to desktop, I attempted to open discord, then V2 collector, then it crashed with a critical process died error.

New V2 file attached.

Happened once more, then got stuck in a BIOs loop for about 4 iterations before it let me boot to windows.

Would it be a valid test to move my OS to one of the other drives to determine if the current drive is the failure point?

EDIT: Happened again a few minutes after, this time not as a BSOD, but a black screen crash with a white line across the bottom of each monitor (oddly not a solid white line, it was an ultra wide U shape at the bottom on one and a line on the other monitor).

1) See if you can find an Asus Qualified Vendor List (QVL) for RAM.

2) Run FurMark - GPU Stress Test Windows 10 Performance Maintenance Tutorials

FurMark - GPU Stress Test Windows 10 Performance Maintenance Tutorials:

FurMark - GPU Stress Test

Stress test your GPU for stability issues with FurMark

www.tenforums.com

Please make note of the importance of temperature monitoring and aborting the test in the GPU link.
a) Record the maximum temperature and post the maximum temperature into the thread.
b) Record the test duration and post the uninterrupted test duration into the thread.
c) Aim for testing 1 hour.
d) Post images or share links into this thread.

3) Rerun Memtest86+ (this time for substantially more than 8 passes)

Had to go off the mobo for the QVL (ROG STRIX X570-E GAMING WIFI II), since the overall computer model (GA35DX) did not have a QVL. That RAM does not show on the list. However, if it's not on the list, why would it only throw errors like this now (past month), when I've had the computer with this RAM installed for years without issue?

Running Furmark now.

hangman401 · Feb 21, 2026

Update. Ran Furmark for 5 minutes, then things started failing, but seemingly unrelated, as Furmark showed no extra heat or issues with my gpu.

One by one, everything popped up "the required data was not placed in memory"... until everything was finally crashed out, including Windows explorer.

Please run the multiple one hour OCCT stability tests:

OCBASE/OCCT : Free, all-in-one stability, stress test, benchmark and monitoring tool for your PC

Ocbase is the home of OCCT, the most popular all-in-one stability / stress testing / benchmarking / monitoring tool available for PC

www.ocbase.com

Also see what Asus has in their one click for system diagnostic:

ROG GA35 | Desktops | ROG United States

rog.asus.com

Then run Memtest86+ for substantially more than 8 passes.
The run times can be very long so one module can be tested at a time in the same DIMM.
