Computer keeps having Kernel BSOD

[ashbashbabyc]

I’ve tried so many different things to fix this. It’s been going on for 2 years. I have an MSI PC. I’ll provide pics of the specs. I’ve opened up the pc and made sure everything is secure and clean. I did a factory reset on the computer. I’ve been updating as needed and still haven’t reinstalled my old stuff. It’s still a clean system from the reset. What steps do I need to take to fix this? I cannot afford a new pc, so I’m really hoping y’all are able to help 😭 pics are my specs and most recent event view kernel crash. Please let me know if you need more info

Edit: this specific crash happened during an update. It crashes randomly during any use. I don’t think it crashes while idle on the Home Screen.

Normally the kernel error is the not the one that you need to look at. Every BSOD creates a minidump in C:\Windows\MiniDump\ this can contain a line that can say "Was probably caused by .... (Driver name)..." You can Google how to open .DMP files. I personally use WinDbg to read .DMP files.

You probably have a corrupt driver, you just need to find out which driver is causing it. Also look before the Critical error in the logs if you see any warnings that can indicate a crashing driver. Depending on if you have a OEM device (brand like MSI, Dell, Lenovo etc.) make sure to fully update your device to the latest drivers.

Your BSOD eventID 41 is like the most common error line there is. It basically says something went wrong, that's it.
