Thank you for the detailed guide! I’ve started going through the steps you've outlined to address the blue screen errors and game crashes. I’ve already reseated the RAM and plan to run the Windows Memory Diagnostic and SFC scan next. Hopefully, that helps stabilize the system.
Also, just a quick note — I’ve got a espaço invisível ff iphone coming up soon, so I might need to delay the final steps like reinstalling Windows until after that. I’ll update you once I’ve completed all the diagnostics.
Thanks for sharing the thorough steps—it's really helpful. I've begun working through them, starting with reseating the RAM. Next up, I’ll run the memory diagnostic and SFC scan to see if we can get the blue screens and crashes under control.
On a quick side note, I’ve got a project launch free fire bio code coming up shortly, so I may need to hold off on deeper fixes like a clean Windows install until after that wraps up. I’ll be sure to touch base once I’ve finished the current tests and have more to share.
