PC randomly blue screened

Was on Discord and ROBLOX, just playing around and my PC randomly just blue screened. My PC was lagging a little more than usual for a while before hand, I was running Roblox on like medium graphics, definitely something I can handle. Again, just two apps. Then, it just blue screened and said it needed to refresh. I powered off as it was doing it, not thinking. Why would it blue screen, and did I mess anything up by powering down? I'm pretty tired right now so sorry if this doesn't make sense

PC has been pretty weird recently. I have had a lot more crashes than usual. Even discord crashed today at some point, and logged me out. Hopefully nothing wrong

I mean a BSOD can happen at any time, stuff just breaks ya know. If you reboot and it keeps acting weird then something may be wrong

sounds like you ran out of RAM or hard drive space

it happens, if you start to notice some extra lag that's probably a good sign that it's a good idea to restart your computer before your computer restarts for you

What was the stop code at the bottom of the BSOD?

I just bought a new hard drive, with 1TB of space too. I think I made it so all my files and all that will now save to the new one, but I'm unsure. How do I make sure it's all going to the new one?

SSkyTrashPanda What was the stop code at the bottom of the BSOD?

If it happens again, snag the stop code. That's the biggest nudge in a certain direction you can get about what caused it. You can also run through Event Viewer, but that's a bit more in-depth and also not guaranteed to paint a better picture.

unfortunately that's really hard to do because windows is windows. all you can really do is reinstall your OS or clone your disk

I just ran into another problem

KnightMRodOP•5/25/25, 5:12 PM

My headphones aren't connecting anymore, after the restart. I have them plugged in, and nothing plays. They don't even show up in the settings menu

SkyTrashPanda•5/25/25, 5:52 PM

That sounds like resource shedding to me. What are the specs of your PC?

SkyTrashPanda•5/25/25, 5:52 PM

CPU, RAM, GPU, PSU, Mobo, etc

KnightMRodOP•5/25/25, 5:57 PM

AMD Radeon Graphics

KnightMRodOP•5/25/25, 5:57 PM

Ryzen 5000 series 7

KnightMRodOP•5/25/25, 5:57 PM

I don't know the rest

KnightMRodOP•5/25/25, 6:04 PM

IT WORKS NOWEW

KnightMRodOP•5/25/25, 6:05 PM

I had to unplug my mic, go into services.msc, and then restart both Windows Audio and Windows Audio builder. Then plug in, and boom it works

SkyTrashPanda•5/25/25, 11:59 PM

Resource shedding almost makes me think that your PSU vs. hardware components in your PC is causing it. If the power draw exceeds the critical amount the PSU can supply, it's like flipping a metaphorical breaker in the PC which starts to shed everything peripheral-wise it can to save itself from crashing. When the draw is too great, then it can just BSOD to keep from borking components.

This might be too much, but if it's not too much, you should reinstall your version of Windows. Go to ANY power menu and open it press and hold shift while selecting restart. That will restart you into the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) and then go to advanced options and then reset this pc, you should follow instructions from there. If you don't want to lose everything, go to settings and dig through there to find some repair thing (I forgot what it was sorry

) and then it should check for a repair and then download if available, make sure to check the restart pc 15 mins after repair is complete.
