This all started nearly a week ago, and I have made posts on Reddit trying to get ideas, but have ultimately been pointed here. Since I am on a phone now, here is the original post made explaining my issues and troubleshooting, in an effort to save my thumbs some work:
"Recently, my PC has started suffering some serious crashes and I have been trying to figure out what is going wrong. Tuesday evening I came home from work, played some games for about 3 hours, then turned my games off to go pick up my partner and left my PC running. When I came back, it was at the login screen so I checked Event Viewer to see what went wrong and noticed that was the first time it crashed. Since then, I have suffered a string of back to back crashes within about a minute and a half of booting to Windows. Eventually, I somehow found a correlation between an update trying to run and my system suffering the crash. Now, I have *some* stability, but that is only if I go into services and stop the update service entirely; oddly enough, it seems my PC is most stable during all of this only when I am running a game of some sort. However, when I figured that out Wednesday night, I left my PC to sit overnight to see if it could make it without crashing again, it could not. I have seen "kernel security check failure", "kernel mode heap corruption", and "system service exception" when it crashes, but then it will start back up immediately with no issue.
My specs, if they matter, are as follows:
* Win 11 Home (23H2/x64)
* i5 11400
* 3070ti
* Gigabyte B560 DS3H AC-Y1
* 4x Corsair Vengeance pro (totaling 64gb of RAM)
* 2x WD Black SN850x @ 2tb each
* Modular Corsair 1100w gold (possibly platinum, but I really can't remember) PSU
I have also attempted to isolate my own RAM as well as have swapped them out with RAM from my partners PC, which are known to be working, but still suffered the same error. I've also used a fresh ISO downloaded yesterday to attempt a repair, that did nothing in the long run (however, when attempting to run the repair while allowing it to grab updates, that would also cause it to crash. Running it without had no issues and completed the process as it should have). SFC did find errors once, but has not found them since, and DISM shows no issues as well. Using ESET, I also scanned every last file and folder across my drives, including anything external, but this also showed no issues.
In Event Viewer, the one thing I do see consistently that I am unable to figure out a meaning is "Event 1001, Bug Check". The bug check string it gives me is the following: **0x0000013a (0x0000000000000012, 0xffffbb09f2600140, 0xffffbb0a0d823000, 0x0000000000000000)**. Hopefully someone smarter than me knows what the hell that's about.
This has been driving me crazy and I can't quite nail down if it's an issue with software or hardware, but it really feels like software. Additionally, I also attempted to push the update forward manually using the Microsoft update catalogue, but it near immediately crashes with the same messages I mentioned before when attempted. This is update KB5041585, for those who want to know."
Since then, starting Friday evening, my PC has lost all stability and now will not boot to windows. In attempting to reimage my drive, it was unable to fully format said drive, but did enough to wipe all but the barebones of windows 11 from my system. When attempting to roll forward anyway, I received corruption errors leading me to believe that I may have a faulty ISO; re-downloading and trying that again got me nowhere. Chkdsk says there are errors but can't fix them due to read/write settings, but diskpart says the only active attribute is pagefile; diskpart also refuses to wipe that drive. Thinking it was a faulty NVMe, I've now replaced that with a nearly new one that ALSO refuses to be imaged or formatted, throwing the same error (when I am near my PC this evening, I will update with what code I am getting).
Finally, through all of this, I did manage to snag a few minidump files, but was unable to get windbg running so I could maybe make sense of that. Those can be found here, but they're a few days old now and win 11 is gone, so I'm not sure how much help they are anymore.
Thanks ahead of time for any pointers or tips. Short of trying to load a Linux distro onto the drive and using it to try and format the drives, I'm at a loss for what to try next.
