I have an HTPC -
ASUS B450M Pro 4
Ryzen 2400G (stock cooler)
8GB DDR4 (no XMP profile enabled, so running at 2133 or 2666, whichever B450 defaults to) - pretty sure its G.Skill (3200 rated, but since its just an HTPC i didnt want to futz with trying to get it to run at 3200)
256GB SanDisk SATA SSD
Win10 Pro (fully up to date)
I often leave it on for long periods of time, as i help seed torrents (legal ones, for ex. i seed stuff for OCRemix.org).
I would often swap back to that input to find a black screen and the computer apparently crashed/locked up.
I hadn't, until recently, been able to see/know that it was blue screening, but just a few weeks ago, it finally did it while i was still on that input.
It popped an "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" error, which the interwebs tells me is memory related.
Thinking it might be the ram (it was a used kit that i picked up cheap on FB Market specifically for the HTPC, built somewhat on the cheap, back when RAM was spiking), i ran MemTest86 on it.. and forgot i was doing so, so it ran for several days and returned no errors.
Im somewhat at a loss for what else it could be, memory related, and why it happens intermittently. Sometimes itll go weeks, then sometimes itll just be a few hours after i turn it on.
I'd examine logs, but its one of the areas where i'm sorta Windows-Dumb - i have no idea where to look or what logs to look for.
Under other circumstances id swap out the RAM, but i dont have any spare DIMMs lying around and i dont really want to spend money on more RAM if thats not the problem.
If anyone has any ideas, and/or can tell me what logs to look for and where to find them, that'd be great. (Could it be an issue with the SSD? How would i even test it?)
Its somewhat annoying because sometimes im the only person seeding some of this stuff, and ive also been trying to upload a large set of files to cloud backup, and its frustrating to make essentially no progress because the machine imploded 30 minutes after starting the upload.
Thanks in advance and if there's any info i didnt post that would be needed or helpful, let me know.
